THE ASYLUM

[telling tiger 156]

Dang, drac at this hour of the day?

Are you just now getting home?

hey effie......

[EagleFlight34 101]

Hey, I'm living like an old man these days. In bed by 10:30 up by 7:30. I don't know why....

[telling tiger 156]

Uh per chance you are becoming an old man?

[EagleFlight34 101]

If I am becoming an old man, what does that mean for you? Hmmmmm

[telling tiger 156]

It means I have:

A. I have already run laps around you and am about to do it again.

B. Regenesis.

C. You should live this long and have this much fun.

D. How is your parrot?

[EagleFlight34 101]

I didn't know there would be a test. I don't have my number 2 pencil. Oh well, the parrot is fed and it will be first nap time before long.

[telling tiger 156]

Nap? Really,really old.........

[EagleFlight34 101]

Nah....I've got errands to run here in a bit.

[telling tiger 156]

Well, I'm willing to take up the slack in your napping ability.

[EagleFlight34 101]

First chance I've had to really listen to the new Dylan album. Good, good stuff.

[telling tiger 156]

I've always liked Dylan.

[EagleFlight34 101]

Thanks! I see what you tried to do there, but I've been reading anyway. Ha ha

I actually like Dylan Thomas as well.

[telling tiger 156]

"Tin Angel". umhum

[telling tiger 156]

Quake in fear at the sight of the man's pencil and pad. A story song. Well written, needless to say.

[EagleFlight34 101]

Have you heard that song yet? Right now it is my favorite on the album. The Tempest is in the same vein.

[EagleFlight34 101]

His style on this one is all over the map. Something for every fan of his.

[telling tiger 156]

You have to pony up the cash, at this point copyright snatches from every vid source, it'll get out there soon though. "Tempest" is great just drawn to "Tin Angel" a style that he just all but owns. Fear the dadgum pencil, badarse.

[telling tiger 156]

There is a somewhat tolerable cover of "Tin Angel" though, just a good way to hear the song, not a keeper. The guy interpets the song rather than trying to copy Dylan and that is always a good thing. At his position and age, to put out product like that even to this day, is just freaking ridiculous.Amazing.

and for those not wanting to buy yet, there are a few reviews that let you sample from iTunes for free, but it ends soon.

I haven't bought much lately, but that one I didn't have any question about getting. Ive had if for a few weeks, but just haven't been able to listen to it much.

[EagleFlight34 101]

I was surprised to see him lend a song to that soundtrack, to be honest. It was a damn fine choice of a song, too.

[telling tiger 156]

The man just needs to stop. Ridiculous. At some point , it looks like he would get tired of just showing off, you know?

[EagleFlight34 101]

Hahaha, hell....would you?

[telling tiger 156]

Ask eff, I'm tired of answering direct questions, lol.....

Well hell no, but my goodness man, the well that will not run dry. "TA" is just nuts. Shades of a Guthrie or two in there, time and place, story, commonality. Ridiculous.

[EagleFlight34 101]

It is kind of a throwback to the "Tangled Up in Blue" style. No one can do it better. I include Guthrie in that simply because of the complexity of what Dylan has done for years and years in his songs of that style. I don't say that lightly. He owes a lot to Guthrie, just as all writers do, but Dylan wasted no time early in his career in blazing his own path.

[EagleFlight34 101]

There's a new book about Alan Lomax and his trek across the south. It looks interesting with lots of stories and amazing pictures.
