Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city as Herman Sony Lee Blaunt, the night manager of The Saint James Hotel, directs a motley crew to the Lincoln Room where Delphine Lalaurie and Marie Laveau are holding court celebrating the 15oth jubilee of the New Orleans Black Magic Witches Congregation, the room is full and brimming, is roaring, it’s Storyville, gris-gris and bonnaroo again exorcising, anathematizing and expulsion of the big bad and evil virus. The night nurse abides as Paoli Cianerini, padre and proprietor of a small business in jewelry on Beluga Street south of The Holy Church of Mary and the Lamb, makes his getaway on a bicycle heading for the Elysian Park following a streetcar named Mount Sinai Memorial Park. Inside The Black Swan, boarded up and in a hurry-scurry the cracked actor has a sip of burgundy, fresh from the barrel talking to a Swiss maid just in from Zürich with a heart alive with the sound of music, butterflies and pond skaters flutter against the windows as the bartender, the beefy and morose Korzeniowski pulls down the blinds in front of the staring eyes of a giant Tahitian chauffeur flaunting two protrudent verdigrised golden teeth. ••• ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS • THE SONGS BLACK RIDER • DYLAN’S MOST COMPLEX SONG EVER. http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/2020/08/black-rider-dylans-most-complex-song- ever/?fbclid=IwAR0vWZQh69lbFk2lPMZLJDtWeXH8pZtSH4gm5R7QIGassT-kGHsq1XSKMNY BOB DYLAN OBLIQUELY: ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS (PART II). https://bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/15905 DYLAN’S CHRISTIAN ANTHOLOGY PART 2: FALSE PROPHET & MY OWN VERSION OF YOU. https://bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/16096 DYLAN’S CHRISTIAN ANTHOLOGY 4: ; CROSSING THE RUBICON. https://bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/16136 DYLAN’S CHRISTIAN ANTHOLOGY 5; KEY WEST AND THAT MOST FOUL MURDER. https://bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/16177 KEY WEST (PHILOSOPHER PIRATE) ANNOTATED PART ONE: VERSES ONE THROUGH SIX. https://notesfromtheidiotchild.blogspot.com/2020/08/key-west-philosopher-pirate-annotated.html ••• ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS • THE REVIEWS AFTER HISTORY: WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LISTEN TO ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS. http://www.timothyhampton.org/blog/posts/36687 BOB DYLAN STANDS ON THE MOON WATCHING US ALL. http://www.star-revue.com/bob-dylan-stands-on-the-moon-watching-us-all/#sthash.mW5O5akJ.Rj8vZg00.dpbs ••• THE CONCERTS VIDEO AND AUDIO RECOMMENDATIONS. https://expectingrain.com/discussions/viewforum.php?f=40&sid=e1a25318701cc1e789a6004a593bdf30 5 BRILLIANT LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM THE YEAR 2003. https://borntolisten.com/2020/08/08/bob-dylan-5-brilliant-live-performances-from-the-year-2003/ REHEARSAL FOR MTV UNPLUGGED • NOVEMBER 15-16, 1994 • 1:08:04. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RE5YpGXGKk&feature=youtu.be WOODSTOCK SAUGERTIES NEW YORK • AUGUST 14, 1994. https://borntolisten.com/2020/08/14/august-14-watch-bob-dylan-woodstock-1994-saugerties-ny/ TRÄDGÅRDSFÖRENINGEN GOTHENBURG SWEDEN • JUNE 28, 1992 • 1:33:04. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKxTIPlHYOg&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0vWZQh69lbFk2lPMZLJDtWeXH8pZtSH4 gm5R7QIGassT-kGHsq1XSKMNY 5 BRILLIANT LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM THE YEAR 1975. https://borntolisten.com/2020/08/12/bob-dylan-5-brilliant-live-performances-from-the-year-1975/ 5 BRILLIANT LIVE PERFORMANCES FROM THE YEAR 1974. https://borntolisten.com/2020/08/09/bob-dylan-5-great-live-performances-from-the-year-1974/ PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA • OCTOBER 10, 1964 • 1:53:28 (LOW-FI). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDqxfugoJoU&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR02ycQlGvWdFW1fiWmTNYSb_12F0RJB_k Nz4v-mmG6h4FvNiMcGyPHO6Ag ••• THE LYRICS BOB DYLAN AND THE SYMBOLISM OF THE RED RIVER. https://bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/16048 ‘CROSS THE GREEN MOUNTAIN: BOB’S ATMOSPHERIC MONUMENT. https://bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/16129 WHAT WAS DYLAN WRITING ABOUT AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY?

Well, the Lone Ranger and Tonto They are ridin’ down the line Fixin’ ev’rybody’s troubles Ev’rybody’s ’cept mine Somebody musta tol’ ’em That I was doin’ fine

Oh you five and ten cent women With nothin’ in your heads I got a real gal I’m lovin’ And Lord I’ll love her till I’m dead Go away from my door and my window too Right now

Lord, I ain’t goin’ down to no race track See no sports car run I don’t have no sports car And I don’t even care to have one I can walk anytime around the block

Well, the wind keeps a-blowin’ me Up and down the street With my hat in my hand And my boots on my feet Watch out so you don’t step on me

Well, lookit here buddy You want to be like me Pull out your six-shooter And rob every bank you can see Tell the judge I said it was all right Yes!
