    You are the best and most astute critic in the history of Dylanology, and this is why we need your critical insights and second-to-none research.

    You know what? Uncanny that you should mention that venue, as I will be flying in for that one - from Marin County (west side of the Pond). But I hasten to add that it's not just about you as my sister, whom I haven't seen in many years, lives there too. So I thought I'd strike while the iron was hot, killing two geese with one stone.

    She is an independent fireplace retailer (and an earnest archeologist). Consider its implications. But that's another story.

    Anyway, I have a habit of digressing - rambling even

    Yours in visitational loveliness

      Hi Joanna
      Thanks for your message - and thanks also for the link to Michael Chapman's lovely 'No One Left to Care', from the CD re-release of Rainmaker, which I think was his debut album, from 1969?

    Hi michael

    hope to see you in bedworth or derby ( or both ) good to see you gigging near birmingham.
    anon 8 june sounds more than gushing! did you write it yourself?
    can you live up to it.
    surely someone is not attempting satire at your expense?

    Well now, Joe, that's an unusual tone of voice from you. FYI I never write any of the Comments myself - if I did, perhaps there might be rather more of them. I'm sorry it even crossed your mind. And I have no idea whether the June 8 comment was meant straightforwardly or as a wind-up - but what would you have done: rejected it?

    Hi Michael
    apologies for doubting you. i'm probably judging you by my own low standards, as I once put a comment on one of my posts and then answered it, something about not giving up my day job.

    Perceptive of you to note a change of tone from me. The mood stabilizers have helped reduce my political rants, and my current muse , jazz, has chilled me somewhat. Although I cant find many links between the Jazz world and Dylan. I was at Ronnie Scott's recently to hear a gig by the brilliant New Orleans trumpet man Abram Wilson who died tragically young recently, where he played a superb arrangement of "Silver Dagger". After the gig, which featured jazz versions of folk songs, I asked him why he hadn't arranged any Bob Dylan, he told me "Baez was the nearest a jazzer could get to Dylan."

    On ranters I made the mistake of give the oxygen of publicity to Michael Savage on my blog, I cant tell if he is serious or not, he described dylan as a "fine minstrel' who had "degenerated America". Of course Chimes of Freedom is a very degenerate song.

    As for Anon june 8, Heylin should own up. If someone told me I was the finest painter in the history of art, I'd probably refer them to my optician.
