I must be feeling particularly pugnacious today. First, Jason offends my
very manhood by saying I'm a 'section man' for including Shakespeare in a
shortlist of TWO, count 'em, two writers that I love....
Fuck, Scottie..... Both St. Sigmund and the deplorable Jung found
inspiration in Shakespeare....
Am I out of my mind for loving the man who penned the most immortal four
words ever said from a stage in English: "Reason not the need!"
To my mind

Right on! Give me excess of it.... For in surfeiting the appetite might die....

Oops.... I could quibble about McCartney, but I won't.... When I was young
and foolish, I found YESTERDAY profound.... Then I discovered Dylan....
Where to begin?
Sometimes, I think he's Shakespeare re-incarnated. So many mighty
masterpieces! Crimson Flames.... Tambourine Man.... I don't expect it can
ever get any better....
Tangled up in Blue....
Visions of Johanna...
Blowing in the Wind....
Mr. Jones....
One Too Many Mornings....
You're a Big Girl Now....
(I'm jealous of Tim, who's going to a Bob Dylan/Paul Simon concert tonight
at Madison Square Gardens! Everybody in the world ought to live in New York
City!)
Cheers,
