Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city as Della Reese, secretary of the Mason Dixon & Morton Law Firm Incorporated, hurries down Main Street meeting up with a man from the motor trade getting off a streetcar outside The Saint James Hotel named de Soto Avenue, rushing him into the lobby, checking in at room #512, riding the elevator to the top floor, descending the stairs to the 5th floor as Emilio Zardini, the night manager, jovial and sturdy, stares into the ledger reading: Mr. Alexander and Mrs. Alexandra Pushkin, in blue ink, not yet dry. He awakes from his reveries by Paolo Cianerini, padre and proprietor of a small business in jewelry on Beluga Street south of The Holy Church of Mary and the Lamb, entering the lobby in a doctor’s gown, sunglasses and a stethoscope wrapped around his neck requesting asylum. The night nurse sips a Dry martini at The Black Swan as a giant Tahitian man with protrudent gold teeth ransacks her overnight bag. Two police officers watch hesitantly from a car across the street, fear and powdered sugar faces. ••• • THE SONGS BOB DYLAN AND HOW TO SING A LONG SONG. https://www.pastemagazine.com/music/bob-dylan/bob-dylan-and-the-long-song/ GOODBYE : I’M JUST AS BEWILDERED AS ANYBODY ELSE. https://bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/16141 BLACK RIDER • DYLAN’S MOST COMPLEX SONG EVER. http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/2020/08/black-rider-dylans-most-complex-song-ever/ ••• ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS • THE REVIEWS THE NEW RELEASES SHELF - ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS. https://coffeefortwo.wordpress.com/2020/07/07/the-new-releases-shelf-rough-and-rowdy-ways/ THE ETERNAL RELEVANCE OF DYLAN’S MIND. https://ndsmcobserver.com/2020/08/eternal-relevance-dylans-mind/ REVIEW: BOB DYLAN - ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS (COLUMBIA). https://www.thestudentplaylist.com/review-bob-dylan-rough-and-rowdy-ways/ ••• THE CONCERTS VIDEO AND AUDIO RECOMMENDATIONS. https://expectingrain.com/discussions/viewforum.php?f=40&sid=e1a25318701cc1e789a6004a593bdf30 LOOKING FOR HEAVEN: UNRELEASED LIVE RECORDINGS • FALL 1978. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGe5mfMEiu4&feature=youtu.be SINGING LIKE AN ANGEL VOL. 3: MULTI-HOUR ANTHOLOGY COLLECTION. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDh_fFM5IFc&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2Q7JZbdd5oeIvMUxd9SGIItAMOM- WAI6FRhzaPt4MMhN4uobol9FxV-hI CONCORD CALIFORNIA • JUNE 7, 1988 • 1:10:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88FGLWVerMo&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2i91Qd3eyDoUcNjOEAfWQDd_rCVVJrrj v_4A2N9WK3sPapkOI2aaLcyjw SINGING LIKE AN ANGEL VOL. 1. • A COMPILATION 1976-1987. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK- RzQQZgc4&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0oeyqwY7fKKgshWQUJ8JrHRMh_EJCjMyYimujkMTDVeW3FzFbKG9j9MhU BOB DYLAN LIVE AT CARNEGIE CHAPTER HALL • • NOVEMBER 4, 1961 • 57:26. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGqsKBo0lIo&feature=youtu.be •••

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY FLASHES FROM THE PAST

I’m gonna get my coat I feel the breath of a storm There’s something I’ve got to do tonight You go inside and stay warm

You want to talk to me Go ahead and talk Whatever you got to say to me Won’t come as any shock I must be guilty of something You just whisper it into my ear Madame Butterfly She lulled me to sleep In a town without pity Where the water runs deep She said, “Be easy, baby There ain’t nothin’ worth stealin’ in here”

You’re the one I’ve been looking for You’re the one that’s got the key But I can’t figure out whether I’m too good for you Or you’re too good for me

Well, they’re not showing any lights tonight And there’s no moon There’s just a hot-blooded singer Singing “Memphis in June” While they’re beatin’ the devil out of a guy Who’s wearing a powder-blue wig Later he’ll be shot For resisting arrest I can still hear his voice crying In the wilderness What looks large from a distance Close up ain’t never that big

Never could learn to drink that blood And call it wine Never could learn to hold you, love And call you mine

Tight Connection To My Heart (Has Anyone Seen My Love) ••• GOOD NIGHT Under the weather, into the storm Across the river and into the trees Tighten your belt, put your working boots on The world that you’ve known is falling apart Whatever your dream is about, try to stay warm It’s shattered and torn into a debris Get out of that temple, it’s set upon You’re on the run, to the beat of your heart. ••• HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM The Bob Cats Newsletter is inspired by Theme Time Radio Hour and the spirit in which it is made.
