THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER AUGUST 21, 2020. 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 as Della Reese, secretary of the Mason Dixon & Morton Law Firm Incorporated, hurries down Main Street meeting up with a man from the motor trade getting off a streetcar outside The Saint James Hotel named de Soto Avenue, rushing him into the lobby, checking in at room #512, riding the elevator to the top floor, descending the stairs to the 5th floor as Emilio Zardini, the night manager, jovial and sturdy, stares into the ledger reading: Mr. Alexander and Mrs. Alexandra Pushkin, in blue ink, not yet dry. He awakes from his reveries by Paolo Cianerini, padre and proprietor of a small business in jewelry on Beluga Street south of The Holy Church of Mary and the Lamb, entering the lobby in a doctor’s gown, sunglasses and a stethoscope wrapped around his neck requesting asylum. The night nurse sips a Dry martini at The Black Swan as a giant Tahitian man with protrudent gold teeth ransacks her overnight bag. Two police officers watch hesitantly from a car across the street, fear and powdered sugar faces. ••• ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS • THE SONGS BOB DYLAN AND HOW TO SING A LONG SONG.
