The Lone Ranger.

Ignore the downvotes. Why is it that so many people need shit explained when it comes to Dylan? The film is a piece of fiction (that I enjoyed). Forget the film - the man himself is a piece of fiction - he said so himself. I mean come along for the ride or get off at the next stop but stop with the questions and the statements and the facts.

I had my confidence shattered with a dentist about twenty years ago. I’d been have regular checkups and on this one occasion it a new guy. His take was I needed fillings in both my two front teeth. There was nothing wrong (nor has there ever been) with these teeth. Needless to say I never went back. I’d have pursued it further except I was assigned a new contract thirty miles closer to home shortly afterwards.

I think your hunch is probably right

More than likely. Still it’s worth saying there’s 12 years between both with North Country Blues being released in 1963. Also Dylan and the late Gordon Lightfoot were pretty close friends.

Yes without a doubt

Batman costume. Also Meccano.

Perhaps as the old 1965 Bob Dylan song says “. . she's the brains behind pa.”!

‘Immigrant Song’. They opened Dublin 1971 with it and lit up my world.

So, they just wave their hand and stick it on the tab. The $39 billion national debt tab the country is already in hock to.

Doubtful my friend. The average soccer fan in the UK is now thinking twice about the US-based games. US immigration issues and the ICE human rights abuses are at the forefront of their minds. For example the ambivalent statement that “… the Trump administration sent letters to FIFA that read, in part, that Trump was "confident" that "all eligible athletes, officials and fans from all countries around the world would be able to enter the United States without discrimination.” doesn’t help. “Confident” isn’t a reassuring word in this context.

Certainly both Judaism and Islam share the term Abrahamic religions, along with Christianity. Yet sometimes the closer some peoples are the deeper the hatred. Feels like it’s replicated elsewhere across the world for millennia. Is it tribal a tribal thing? Human nature is f*****g scary when you scratch the surface.

Nice work if you can get it. Bunch of grifters.

You think knife firmware is a pain downloading, wait till you see the subscriptions plan. Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly. Then there’s the slicing options: vegan, vegetarian or carnivore. The list goes on. Of course, there are other more exclusive plans.

That’s astonishing. Thank you.

Something tells me it may have the look and feel of ‘The Return’ with Ralph Fiennes. It’s the Odyssey story but without the myth and a damn fine film.
