Read this, it's very damning.

Today an INTEL source suggested Trump will die in jail. The calls to Russians have been going on non stop since 2015. The UK, Germany and France also tapped the Russian's phones, they have more INTEL than Congress knows about. Could Impeachment be off the table for Trump, is Treason the new charge...

Evidently, there are intercepts of the contacts between Flynn and the Ruskies going all the way back to last summer. Let's see whether those transcripts eventually come to light and what they might reveal about Trump's possible involvement in the sanctions fiasco or even more explosively, in Russia...

The Word for Today is Kakistography, Google it... All I found was kakistocracy , so I'm guessing kakistography must be a coinage about the Donald's bathetic tweets. They are the worst and, dear donald, lose the caps. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/02/10/how-all-caps-came-to...

What if Senators McCain and Graham conclude that Trump's foreign policy in effect serves the interests of a foreign power? What might happen then? Nothing at all. Articles of impeachment are brought by the House of Representatives; unless they are passed, the Senate has no say. It would be up to Pa...

Patti Smith behaved like the most obnoxious spoilt brat in 1975. She wasn't quite as obnoxious as Lou Reed, but it was close. I gave up on her, until now, because she seems to have learned a little about humility. Don't be offended by the title, but Piss Factory, from 1974, is one of THE great punk ...

Patti Smith was approached in September to sing at the Nobel Awards. But the announcements had not been made. Either, Bob knew in advance, refused to show in advance. Or the Nobel Committee knew he'd never show. Either way, they were prepared, they nominated Mr Dylan for the right reasons. BECAUSE J...

Jbuck919 is right: this dispute is not worth losing a valuable friendship over, especially when both sides have so much to offer the rest of us and are so genuine and passionate about their beliefs. Anybody can make a mistake, the point is to correct oneself when it is pointed out, and I think that...

There is a big difference, we disagree on Broadway shows in general. But, we research our opinion. John F did nothing of the sort, he told me I was speaking nonsense, without a shred of evidence except his arrogance. Once he read the speech, given by the American Ambassador, he understood Bob's genu...

I wouldn't be quite that harsh to John Francis, though I find myself uncomfortable being a referee in this case, since both of you are my friends. This topic is not worth taking off the gloves and boxing bare-handed. The Nobel committee made an obvious mistake, which it has done many times before, ...

Chalkperson

With that last post you have proven that you are no better than Trump, who you compared me to. You are a buffoon who does not research his facts before mouthing off online. You never researched your opinions, you never read Bob's speech. I told you he was incapable of delivering it, but you waffled ...

Chalkperson

Chalkie, you're talking arrant nonsense. "Freedom of speech"? What blather. Bob Dylan is free to speak or sing whatever foolishness comes into his head, and to make tons of money selling it on records and in over 1,000 concerts, but this has nothing to do with the Nobel Prize for Literature. I know...

Ms. Danius is trying to cover the a***s of the a***s in the Swedish Academy who frivolously voted the award to an obviously undeserving and, it turns out, ungrateful person. I used the word "lecture" in my post because that's the word used in the Nobel statute. A "spontaneous discourse" on an appro...

If you think he could have said this in public, then you don't understand how shy and private Robert Zimmerman is. He has always spoken thru his songs. FWIW, I don't go and take a bow when I get awards, citations, or whatever for my photography. It's simple, like Bob, and by bud EC, I don't enter co...

The popular vote is only the voice of those who voted. 47% of eligible voters did not vote. Many Democrats did not vote because 'their' candidate was not the nominee. If the vote had been for a Party, not an individual, what would the result look like? It's an outdated system, the Electoral College,...

I learned a new word for trumps supporters. "The Leaners" They lean over the bar/counter/table, and say quietly... "I'm actually thinking of voting for a Trump" That was his silent majority, they didn't admit to their support publicly, so they were ignored, they all switched from Obama to Trump. Cli...

Bob Dylan has the worst 'wet fish' handshake in the world, but I was not put off.

We once had a conversation about the academics who study his work.

John F's reply reminded me of it.

Hymel is an unusual find, a true tenor heroique, with a voice that can truly live up to the demands of Meyerbeer. He has a solo album released recently that is outstanding: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Egb0lFiLL._SS500.jpg https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61HAZ...

No crime if the deceased was american, taking ashes abroad is different. The performance(s) were not cancelled because a crime was committed, but for security concerns.

Don't know what happened to the deer-he got a pretty good jolt but we had to drive a little further to where there was a place to stop so we could check how the front of the car looked. Regards, Len

But we didn't bother looking for the injured deer.

I went to the Dress Rehearsal for Pelleas at the Met when Le Rat conducted it.
