They did the "Feelin' Groovy" video featured in my last post.  Here's their artistical interpretation of Bob Dylan's "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream"

Officially dejected. Who would have other thunk it that Bob Dylan would ever come to my kabumfuck (always wanted to use this word to describe my town) of a nowhere province? Certainly not me. I also didn’t think that when he did grace us with his poetry that I WOULDN’T BE THERE. I could have handled be told I couldn’t go...being under age and all, or my parents not wanting my to be in the city. But being forced to be at a CHURCH conference–no offense to any religion–i...

For some reason Mog eats the end of my post so it is now in two parts. Part One Lives Here
From wikipedia:"In her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe includes an extra, final verse which may have been taken from another hymn. The additional verse is part of most hymnals today.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’ve first begun.
Whereas the original lyrics were pen... MORE

I often wonder if it's inherent in our human nature to take that what we know (songs, stories, jokes, experiences, and art) and re contextualize it into our own creation. I am a graphic designer by day and a cartoonist at heart. I thirst for satire, parody, puns (clever and bad ones, alike), situations, and stories I can distill into a frame by frame sequence. I'm a writer with pictures, which seems to require a certain innate need to reference the things people know (sy... MORE

pretty cool video i saw recently, i think this is one of the best tunes, lyricly, ever written. Really deep. Heard an interview with him recently and he was sayin he never really knew where all the lyrics came from and he never really understood them. I got a keen interest in sociology and philosiphy and some of the things he talks about in one line, whole books have been compiled in an attempt to explain. Dylan has a unmatched ability to put complex truths simply, oh yeah... MORE

I find myself going back to the basics at a time like this, so get ready for some Dylan.Aboriginalien "My love she speaks like silence,Without ideals or violence, She doesn't have to say she's faithful, Yet she's true, like ice, like fire.People carry roses,Make promises by the hours, My love she laughs like the flowers, Valentines can't buy her. In the dime stores and bus stations, People talk of situations,Read books, repeat quotations, Draw conclusions ... MORE

"Darkness at the break of noonShadows even the silver spoonThe handmade blade, the child's balloonEclipses both the sun and moonTo understand you know too soonThere is no sense in tryin'...

I have developed quite the appreciation for Bob through my husband (who loves to karaoke this song), and so, behold:

sometimes i hear a song while driving and am flooded with images that flick past my eyes when i blink. they are like that tiny black dot that you sometimes see floating around your vision when you close your eyes tightly, and stare towards the sun. this morning, while passing my beloved bridge, i heard bob dylan singing this song, and it was joel and clemetine waking up on the shore that i saw. a juxtaposition of some of my favorite things: music and film. somehow this...

I've decided that it's time for me to start catching up in the Bob Dylan section of my library, which I think is a very good decision. I've liked his stuff a lot for the past year or so now, but I was inspired recently after we covered him for a whole lecture in my History of Rock Music class last week. We just exited the rock's birth in the 50s and are now covering the emergence of folk/folk rock and the British invasion. Very glad I was able to get into that class. Defin... MORE

On a sleepless night, you are sitting alone in the dark, hardly anything to do. You decide to play some music. You wander aimlessly on the huge play list you have. Well, what would you choose to play? I would choose Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan. Who else will do it. Not only because of the lyrics of the song, but also because of Dylan's country music and his murky vocals makes it my favorite song in these times. Indeed, we all know Dylan's connotation of Tambourin... MORE

i just saw where somebody believes that Townes Van Zandt is a better songwriter than Dylan and they would stand by the quote standing on Dylan's coffee table and tell him so.some such quote or not.well i got freakin news for ya!stand on my coffee table and tell me that.....I 'LL SHOOT YOUR FREAKIN' ASSi'd love to hear Dylan's response to this while standing on his coffee table.PS:i love Townes Van Zandt,but gotta give greatness where greatness is duek...peaceand that would...
