THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER MAY 28, 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. A hard rain’s whipping towerblocks and brownstones, parlors and delis, hotels and bars along Main Street flooding gutters and sewers, it’s been pouring seven days and seven nights. Water rising everywhere, a streetcar named Baranavichy Square’s stuck in its tracks, water above its wheels, doors open, sparks flying, abandoned. The Saint James Hotel is boarded up, its guests regrouped on the 5th floor. The cracked actor in a wheelchair peering out through the windows on the second floor above The Black Swan, trashcans, prams and cardboards floating by. A man in a dress shirt up to his waist in water carrying his fair-haired daughter on his shoulders, she’s carrying a teddy bear on her shoulders that’s waving a cocktail umbrella high. Hector and Zedrina of The Corona King Circus in thyme colored oilskins and yellow sou’westers on stilts, a loose black steed, blood on its saddle. People leaning out of the windows, screaming, howling, crying, the mayor of the city Steven van Cortlandt, broken umbrella in hand, soaked to the bone, standing on a pile of gravel on a barge drifting down the windy street proclaiming: …be strong, be calm, do not panic, help is on its way! The Fire Brigade on 11th Street are rained in, garage doors blocked, cannot move a foot nor a wheel, standing still smoking, swearing on top of the red brick fire station overlooking a city turned into an urban archipelago. As the door opens the cracked actor gets out of the chair, a vintage walnut piece inscribed Lady Joan of Cobb 1870-1812 on the back, his nextdoor neighbors, Sophia and Giuseppe Aldobrandini, Sicilian royalty in exile, treat him to a spaghetti carbonara supper, a bottle of Fat Bastard and a shot of Barrique apricot brandy. They all sit down by the dining room table as raindrops batter the rooftop. ••• ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER KEPT THE VIEW. ••• HAPPY 80TH JUBILEE STUFF BOB DYLAN AT 80: ROLLING STONE OPENS ITS DYLAN ARCHIVE AS THE ROCK LEGEND CELEBRATES A MAJOR MILESTONE. https://www.rollingstone.com/bob-dylan-archive-songs-discography-album-reviews-interviews/ DYLAN AT EIGHTY. https://link.newyorker.com/view/5be9e45e2ddf9c72dc5dbbdfe8q52.940w/ea4f8d43 SUNDAY READING: BOB DYLAN AT EIGHTY. https://www.newyorker.com/books/double-take/sunday-reading-bob-dylan-at-eighty IT AIN'T ME YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: BOB DYLAN AT 80. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/m000w331?fbclid=IwAR3HP_pNnxU3wZKsZyNxOUbIGKIX- MWoJOIh2YbqtE3oDomYfIu_DSc1Njc BOB DYLAN AT 80: INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSOR RICHARD F.
