It is the collaboration between photographer Barry Feinstein & Dylan. Stories of Dylan & Feinstein taking Dylan's famous managers Rolls Royce cross country, attending Holy Roller revivals and such . . . got it on sale. <BR/><BR/>Trail note: Companion piece to the BBC Laura Garcia Lorca interview was interviews with a band of young travelling minstrels criss-crossing England singing traditional songs, sleeping in the woods and living off the land and the kindness of strangers. As for me, depending on the kindness of strangers . . . or not.<BR/>On another note Monte Hellman's 1971 classic film <BR/>" Two-Lane Blacktop " with James Taylor, Dennis Wilson, Warren Oates and along for the ride, Laurie Bird,has been reissued in a deluxe DVD package by The Criterion Collection. Too bad we didn't have TR back then to add to the soundtrack. Another one for us blacktop junkies . . . and it don't get no better than an Ol' 55. Tom Waits in the supplements. Adiós.

I agree with ST in commending your actions in doing the Right Thing.<BR/> It is one thing if these items were gifted by Dylan to a trusted and worthy "Keeper of the Flame" as it were.

She spoke in an intelligent, sensitive and poignant fashion explaining her objection to the planned exhuming of the mass grave where her uncle is believed to be buried. She showed understanding of the feelings of the other families involved but cited her fear that his skull might end up being broadcast all across YouTube. <BR/>His words run all through her and that is where he is, not in that grave of a darker history near Granada . . .<BR/><BR/>-ST In the Valley of the San Joaquin surrounded by Tulare and Delta fog with thoughts of two Chinese sisters of mercy. Mei Lei and Mei Quon who work, sleep and eat in a single room working 14 hours a day with never a day off. Somewhere in Oregon. They with innocent hearts and guilty hands. Mine . . . both are guilty. They came a long way from Beijiing to bring me some comfort . . .Saddle Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15640646036914910941noreply@blogger.com
