Ok, bear with me. This is the first time I'm trying to to post a link. The article is definitely worth reading for us old folks who remember...

Rock On! by fuzzyman 8-03-02

Once upon a time you dressed so fine. You threw the bums a dime in your prime... Warnce ippoawn a tahm noo drissed so fahn. Yoo trew tuh booms a dahm een noor prahm... Didn't you? Needent Noo? People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall." You thought they were all... kiddin' you. Papal cull, sane, "Bear doell, noo're bond tofu-all." Yee-noo foght nay hurr gall... kickin' nou. This Bob Dylan concert is so much better with the subtitles.

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

Oh, a good NPR story I heard yesterday about the original Newport concert where he went electric.

I was born a couple of months later. Coincidence? Or another sign of the End Times?

Great strip, fuzzyman!!! : D
Needen't Noo? Has to be kept as one of the great in-jokes, ranking right up there with a Cowboy 2 moment, Tobor's cornholing escapades and fuck's ramblings.

“It is only with the heart that one sees rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” - The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1945)

This weekend on NPR, Linda Thompson called Bob Dylan a great singer and said Mariah Carey has a great voice but can't sing to save her life.

---
What others say about boorite!

She could so. If, say, saving her life involved mimicking the territorial cry of a Harpy eagle.
Hey, she has this amazing five octave range. So what if three of them sound like nails on a chalkboard?

---
"You'll burn for this. Burn in jail!"

I love hearing musically illiterate philistines babbling about Mariah Carey's greatness. Back when she was still fairly new on the scene, I heard a professional radio announcer (contradiction?) state with a straight face that she had a ten octave range. That's two octaves more than your average piano. I had heard her high, screechy, decalcifying-you-whole-spinal-column notes, but I never heard her get all Tom Waits on us...

Who said she could go Waitsy? There is another possibility, which you can test using the method shown in the following comic:

Until 1917, President Wilson had kept the United States out of World War I, until ... Mr. President! We just intercepted a telegram Germany sent to Mexico. This could be important. What does it say? "Now ninny dyes mustard manna falls lye implore turf a river pant? Announcer Nerf Endust N'awlins sandy mint!" That's it! I want us to declare war on Germany. And that's the story of the Zimmerman Telegram. Gabe, I know you're a big Dylan fan, but it was a different Zimmerman. I have to give you a C-.

And thanks to Mr. Dylan, you get to read the phrase, "mithril erection dome"!
