Description
no one believesIn the effects of nature and the illusion of image,
she paints with a gathering of memories and an arsenal of time,
painting under the influence of all that and more
truth be told,she cleaned her brushes and stood
and stared at what she had done
they polished the marble floor
square by square
to the finish of mother of pearl,
shined reflections shoot into my eyes
as I pass through the corridor
to the last door of retreat,
the trial began this morning
at the courthouse in Fargo
along the Red River
overflowed at the brink
in the days of resson
no one believes,
I was called as a defense witness
truth was never new to me,
what I would say to today
was anyone's guess

I agree with Stephanie
The first verse made me stop and think and dream
The pink almost turns to red
It looks like insides, out
okay maybe I'm just too creepy

that was one of those lines that just hits
really cool when it happens
it was a good one and true makes you dream of her next move
the blurriness makes it seem like either guts or the insides
of some odd alien creature
tis creepy

a Phoenix of justice
or revenge ?

and how it makes a recovery or a more inner suggestion of the subject
*
why such uncertainty in the defense?
rhetorical !

birds run free in my pieces when ever I can muster them
thanks fer seeing
yea
that was killer that first line
I was supposed to write something for a gallery exhibition
and that just came
well when one say ....testifies
one may be putting someone in danger or under suspicion
casting the light wrongly
when it can come back and bounce back and haunt you
that's the street deal
be careful who you talk about

be careful what u talk about...
ever seen an interveiw with Dylan?
he was often accused of contradiciting himself...
so they'd be sure to spot him on it...
in so many words his defense was..
'I never said i knew what i was talking about--when i said it i meant it--but thinking changes---
i aint no guru who can qualify my words my thoughts as absolutes...'
i really really related to that...
because its so true--
we can feel so passionate about certain sentiments
testify to our perceptions and the next moment
wonder 'what was i thinking'
like---revelations at night
upon dawn---
O how different they are...
sort of ridiculous...

I am so Dylaned it is not funny
have seen, read, thought, heard about everything he has ever done that is available legally and bootlegged wize
even now picked up yet another Biography about him i started a couple days ago
so yes..I hav heard...most are pretty pathetic really,,.... he was the ultimate gamesman in the day
I love Dylan and think it all quite a great show.
and music falls in suit just fine
here a recent article on Bobby on his upcoming disc in April
Bob Dylan can do whatever the bejeezus he wants. He's made more albums than America has had presidents, he's transformed rock in the process, and in his later years he's almost singlehandedly sustained the fashion relevance of the bolo tie. No one should object if the old man just wants to go out to the woodshed and play some blues.
Longtime fans and neophytes will all probably be grateful for the economical punch provided by "Together Through Life," the bard's new studio effort, to be released without further ado April 28. Overtaken by a gush of inspiration after penning "Life Is Hard," a Django Reinhardt-kissed meditation on loneliness, for the upcoming Olivier Dahan film "My Own Love Song," Dylan wrote this bunch of fairly direct and visceral tunes. He enlisted some buddies -- an interview with scribe Bill Flanagan on Dylan's website mentions Tom Petty's longtime guitarist Mike Campbell and Los Lobos cofounder David Hidalgo -- and hit on a sound that returns to -- and refreshes -- the roots of rock and roll.
I was lucky enough to attend a listening session Thursday night, where I sat on a comfy sofa in front of a good sound system and scribbled down some notes on the 10-song set. I got one listen. Here's a quick response.
"Beyond Here Lies Nothin' ": Hidalgo's accordion is Dylan's muse throughout this album. The instrument turns what would be Jimmy Reed-style blues into something more wide-ranging: a celebration of the Latin influence that also shaped early rock. There's something Leonard Cohen-esque about Dylan's lyric, which is deeply existential and exceedingly debonair.
"Life is Hard": Dylan apparently loved Dahan's Edith Piaf story "La Vie en Rose," and agreed to pen this song for the filmmaker's "My Own Love Song." It has a French feel, with a guitar line redolent of le jazz hot and sly references to a boulevard of broken dreams. Dylan's sad "Sea of Love," it represents him as a slightly cracked crooner.
"My Wife's Home Town": Enter the Devil Woman, a dangerous central character of the blues. The wifey is from down under, and I don't mean Australia. This one is pure Howlin' Wolf. Dylan's chuckle at the end might be the best part.
"If You Ever Go to Houston": It's not that this circular walking blues sounds like Dylan's "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry," but there's a similar feeling in that 1965 composition. Hidalgo's accordion shines sunlight on everything. The lyric has a Wild West feel, with oblique references to the history of the town in its name.
"Forgetful Heart": The album's most mystical cut could have fit on 1997's "Time Out of Mind," with a somewhat muted atmosphere and a last line that recalls Edgar Allan Poe -- "the door has closed forevermore / if there ever was a door." A banjo plaintively calls out from deep in the mix.
"Jolene": This bar-band romp imagines the "other woman" immortalized in Dolly Parton's 1973 hit as a street-strutting queen for whom any man would leave any wife. "You're something nice, I"m gonna grab my dice," chortles the satyr as a down-home double-guitar riff propels him forward.
"This Dream of You": Dylan does mariachi! The most obviously Latin-flavored track on an album that testifies to Mexican America's right to sing the blues. Is that a slack-key guitar in there, too?
"Shake, Shake Mama": This one does just what the title says. A loud, abrupt blues with a little bit of gospel in the lyric, it brings to mind one of Chicago's last men standing, Otis Rush.
"I Feel a Change Coming On": The title seems to nod at the Obama era, but this country-tinged song is at once more universal and more personal -- a meditation on sunsets, both real and imagined. Dylan sings in a honking baritone that celebrates the rips in his vocal cords. And there's harmonica.
"It's All Good": "Throw on the dust! Pile on the dust!" Dylan shouts in this apocalypse party of a song. Sharp guitar lines and one of the album's fastest tempos gives the band a chance to fade out on a high note. Dylan's final word: Enjoy this world, even as it descends into chaos. In fact, especially enjoy the chaos.

thanks for the info...
haven't been up to date on any new music...(tight budget requires keeping a simple eye---easier done by avoiding wants.)

Zimmerman is timeless.

I have often said that my parents were
Dylan and Joni...
their influence in my mentality really kept me grounded--
words of wisdom to youth astray--
*
i have a couple of friends who are as Dylanifed as you...
having the whole works...and opting for the LPs over Cds...
i had most of the original albums---lost in time..-and unforeseen occurrences
and have been trying to rebuild---sadly with CDs...but good enough to listen...
funny how music is a salve to the soul.

hey...thanks for that.
though--- the friend i spoke of has every thing---and i have access...
*
these days--of life in storage and displaced--
less is indeed more--
not even sure how long --the last of the luxuries--remains
and a luxury is this---cyber connections...etc etc...
*
but---music has a way of lingering as you say--
affecting the synapses of our minds
so--where ever one finds themselves
even if sans this or that...
it last...
without batteries.
Aint it funny how u might not hear a tune for some time
and recall all the words when once a measure of it is played...
as to Twain and Dylan--
i grok not the connections
other then the possibilities that your parents were hippy freaks...
and its a good thing they didn't name you Twain...
you'd have had to have learned Chinese real fast in life
and be ahead of the trend.
