THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER JUNE 18, 2021. CELEBRATING THE ART AND THE MANY LIVES OF BOB DYLAN • NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATE SONG & DANCE MAN. INSPIRED BY THEME TIME RADIO HOUR AND THE SPIRIT IN WHICH IT WAS MADE. ESTABLISHED 2006 BY PETER HOLST • 14 YEARS AND RUNNING. HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city and the town board in the Town Hall has been in congress since the early morning hours. The Cossack Party has been filibustering since noon regarding the parking meters outside the Church of Mary and the Lamb, the Libertines have filed a multiple of protests that has been protested against by the Christian Knights and the Blue Collars and the White Collars has reopened reclamations thrice already. The room is hot and sweaty, tobacco smoke sneaking in thru the wide-open swing-doors where Town Hall employees and senior citizens stare like dogs looking at a card trick. Outside, a streetcar named Waldorf comes to a complete stop, letting of a motley crew of writers and critics from all over the countryside. Cracked actor Cornwell in a blue Camarillo State Mental Hospital t-shirt and chinos and the kid in a second hand, red bell-boy suit shooting crap in the black and white marble floored hallway of the city parliament. The kid’s on a winning streak as the chairman of the board is carried out, in tatters and tears, on a stretcher by the night nurse, in a dust coat smoking a Macanudo Café cigarillo, and doctor Robert with his shirt untucked and his fake Borsalino askew. Outside an ambulance awaits, Joey the driver cuts the siren off and on just for kicks, it’s his last day on the job. The speaker’s chair has caught fire and the fire brigade’s on its way, something’s wrong with the fire engine siren, there’s a boogie woogie bugle boy atop the ladder truck blowing Salt Peanuts, Dizzie Gillespie style with heart and soul and everything is in the news.
