THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 9, 2018. 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 • 11 YEARS AND RUNNING. HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city and the rain has frozen to crystals on Main Street creating a mirror image of the heavens above. A streetcar named Isengard goes by, ice crackles as it tracks on down the hill to where the pines grow tall. The northern star is constant, icy patchews flicker and fade. The cracked actor shrouded in a wide extreme cold weather parka on the glass veranda on top of The Black Swan sips his gluhwein tapping his feet to the music of Bartok from across the street, room #208 of The Saint James Hotel where a bunch of Spanish musicians brush up their repertoire for the Sunday Concert at The Academy of Art. ••• THE QUOTE OF TODAY “Creativity has much to do with experience, observation and imagination, and if any one of those key elements is missing, it doesn’t work.” - Bob Dylan. ••• THE AMERICAN TOUR 2018 VIDEO: IT’S A MAN’S MAN’S MAN’S WORLD • AUGUSTA

face life with a child and a wife At the back of your head as you drink Who sleep-walks through your dreams into And there’s no time to think walls You’re a soldier of mercy, you’re cold and you Warlords of sorrow and queens of tomorrow curse Will offer their heads for a prayer “He who cannot be trusted must fall” You can’t find no salvation, you have no expectations Loneliness, tenderness, high society, notoriety Anytime, anyplace, anywhere You fight for the throne and you travel alone Unknown as you slowly sink Mercury, gravity, nobility, humility And there’s no time to think You know you can’t keep her and the water gets deeper Your conscience betrayed you when some That is leading you onto the brink tyrant waylaid you But there’s no time to think Where the lion lies down with the lamb I’d have paid off the traitor and killed him Bullets can harm you and death can disarm you much later But no, you will not be deceived But that’s just the way that I am Stripped of all virtue as you crawl through the dirt Paradise, sacrifice, mortality, reality You can give but you cannot receive But the magician is quicker and his game Is much thicker than blood and blacker than No time to choose when the truth must die ink No time to lose or say goodbye And there’s no time to think No time to prepare for the victim that’s there No time to suffer or blink Equality, liberty, humility, simplicity And no time to think You glance through the mirror and there’s eyes staring clear (No Time To Think) ••• GOOD NIGHT Let this be our point of departure, leaving as of today Call’n street, what you get, you keep, til you’re asked to speak hold your tongue Make this our point of departure never to be seen again, take your bearings, strap on your bag Don’t look behind, we’re on the clock, we are way behind, we’ll be there in time Approaching our point of departure to start anew and again, circling the hill, testing the waters in this unknown terrain It’s quiet out here, no footprints, nor tracks, it’s a virginal wood, it’s a forest of fear It’s where you were born, it’s where you will stay. ••• HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM The Bob Cats Newsletter is inspired by Theme
