HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM 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, the band 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: JIMMY REED; 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?

HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city. The heavy bass line from an electric Fender bass guitar rattles the walls of the humble abode of the cracked actor on his hands and knees looking for the bottle cap to his Mexican root beer. A streetcar named Macondo goes by adding tremble and wobble to the painted boards on top of The Black Swan. He recognizes the fateful steps of madam McIntyre-Mire, landlord and loan shark from the Baltic Midlands, bringing wine and bread on a silver tray for his nocturnal shift. She’s wearing a quarantine mask in leather and doesn’t bother to knock. Nothing in this living world would upset her except late rents and polkas. The night nurse’s crying in her coffee in an all-night café. Life is but a string well-tuned or cut. The sign of the Saint James Hotel’s twinkles, it’s a bad wire and a burned connection. The night manager tears off his toupee and screams at the slow and tardy ceiling fan in mahogany carrying yesteryear’s dust and July flies to of a waltz by Strauss on the radio. ••• ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS • THE REVIEWS BOB DYLAN - ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS.

  • INTIMA PDF PRINT TEMPLATE-Fixed2-3
    _________________________________________________________________________ NON-FICTION | FALL 2020 John in the Rain By Gary Hunter 15 July 2020. I’m sitting on the sofa in my ground-floor rented apartment. Bob Dylan’s latest album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, is on the CD player. Bob’s crossed the Rubicon. He contains multitudes. He’s no false prophet but I’ve always known that. There’s a 17-minute track called “Murder Most Foul.” It begins by referencing the JFK hit then opens out to take in so many cultural references I can’t keep up. Bob sings about the Beatles conquering America while the country is mourning its slain king. The songs are saturated in references to writers such as Walt Whitman and Shakespeare, and contain allusions to Indiana Jones and Anne Frank. My laptop is balanced on my knee and I’m writing about my old friend John who became a killer and ended up being murdered, aged nineteen. I recall William Faulkner’s line, ‘the past is never dead, it isn’t even past.’ I’m thinking that past and present might exist at the same time. Nothing is linear. I moved here in March to shield from COVID-19. I have cancer. I had a good friend but things between us turned bad and she left. I don’t blame her. It’s probably for the best. I was sinking into a deep and violent depression. I treated her badly. I hope to God she’s happy. She deserves to be happy. I live alone now and think about her all the time.

A streetcar named Whigham goes by empty but for the pilot and his uncle from Sag Harbor just to about to collide with a black sedan with out of state plates, a Tahitian driver and two hunks in the back seat, smoking weed, swearing and loading a Kalashnikov.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

I Contain Multitudes Today and tomorrow and yesterday too The flowers are dyin’ like all things do Follow me close, I’m going to Bally-na-lee I’ll lose my mind if you don’t come with me I fuss with my hair and I fight blood feuds I contain multitudes Got a tell-tale heart like Mr. Poe Got skeletons in the walls of people you know I’ll drink to the truth and to things we said I’ll drink to the man that shares your bed I paint landscapes and I paint nudes I contain multitudes Red Cadillac and a black moustache Rings on my fingers that sparkle and flash Tell me what’s next, what shall we do?

    THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER JULY 17, 2020. CELEBRATING THE ART AND THE MANY LIVES OF BOB DYLAN • NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATE SONG & DANCE MAN.

Her husband, the duke and his entourage are on her trail. A street car named Amelia Street goes by, a stranger in a seersucker suit gets off, hat pushed back, jacket on his arm, suitcase in his hand, the pockets of his seersucker pants bulging with dollar bills, packing a Beretta 35 in the small of his back underneath an Egyptian cotton shirt and a Luger 35 Polish Eagle in his bag.
