Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city and in the Kundalini Jones Tea Shop the chanting has begun twenty heads intoning tambura and tablas in a basement room draped in textiles of many a color. Myra Breckinridge recites her Sanskrit poems in a low alto moving her fingers, eyes closed, her veiled thin body alive with each word. Outside, one creaky stair up, a street car named Tattoli Row lets off a group of people crouching in dark overcoats and hats heading for The Saint James Hotel each one with a yellow name tag on their chest, dandelion shade. There’s incense in the air, drifting fragrant amidst the mist. Willie the drifter snoozes off in the doorway, bags in a heap, pork-pie hat askew, sniffs and growls. The air inside The Black Swan is electric, Hot Harry & The Hotspurs, four punk teenagers rip the place apart, shrieking microphones, feed-back electric guitars, crashing cymbals, lung wrenching vocals in a shredded tattoo swag. Cornwell in the corner, cardigan wrapped around his head, beatnik book of poems closed on table top awaiting the gates of Eden to open, letting him in. Thomas and Judith de Quiney adoringly regard their Borstal twins and their hooligan cousins, ear-holes stuffed with wax, laples flapping, skin tight unto bone structure, pace-makers stomp, fire alarms whine The black dog abides by the Elysian gates. ••• NEWS FLASH BOB DYLAN & • LIVE AT FOREST HILLS QUEENS NEW YORK • AUGUST 8, 1964 • 12:01. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCTbu5w7OEQ&feature=youtu.be HVA KAN VI LÆRE AV BOB DYLAN?

FLASHES FROM THE PAST Oh ev’ry foe that ever I faced Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time The cause was there before we came To disgrace, distract, and bother me And ev’ry cause that ever I fought And the dirt of gossip blows into my face I fought it full without regret or shame And the dust of rumors covers me But the dark does die But if the arrow is straight As the curtain is drawn and somebody’s eyes And the point is slick Must meet the dawn It can pierce through dust no matter how thick And if I see the day So I’ll make my stand I’d only have to stay And remain as I am So I’ll bid farewell in the night and be gone And bid farewell and not give a damn

() ••• GOOD NIGHT I’ve been up all night, down in the groove Chasing the shadows, sweeping the floor Once in a day and twice a night Crossing the street, a fat black cat You’d better look up, you’d better be sane It’s pouring down though it doesn’t rain It’s dream time living, in a world of your own Get up kid, you’re on your own. ••• HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM The Bob Cats Newsletter is inspired by Theme Time Radio Hour and the spirit in which it is made.
