Thanks for the memories.; 11/16/16, 9:12 PM

Dylan has a previous commitment on December 10th so he can't be in Sweden. He's playing the Majestic in Madison and then over to Meadehouse for some beers.; 11/16/16, 9:38 PM

My exposure to Rainy Day Woman #13&35 was while stacking boxes in a SF warehouse along side a Gypsy Joker going on trial for shooting a Hells Angel. Memories, memories.

Had a paroled Gypsy Joker working for 20 year old me while assistant manager at gas station. Manager wanted me to call Joker at home and ask about a cash shortage-

uh, no thanks, YOU call him!; 11/16/16, 9:59 PM

It's great... but... it's terrible. That's what makes Dylan Dylan.

Dylan!

I had expected more, really. Possibly even a series, like "Blonde on Blonde, Volumes One through Whatever."

Two of these four are 'All Girl" -- no male performers included. That was kinda expected. Self-descriptive.

There is a fifth title listed: "ElectroSluts 28291", which has the alternate title "Blonde on Blonde Electric Play!" Some people probably bought this expecting more "Blonde on Blonde Acoustic Folk Play" and got all angry.

I would have thought that there would've been some Dylan-obsessed frustrated artist working in Seventies Porn that would've done an 'arty' Dylan-obsessed porn feature titled "Blonde on Blonde," complete with a "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" cover homage that gets naked quickly, but I was disappointed.

Also: entering "Bob Dylan" on the Internet Adult Film Database brings no results. Which is probably a relief.

As a comparison, I entered the name of Neil Young's "On The Beach" album -- another title with porn overtones -- into the Internet Adult Film Database.

It brings back 37 results, but only four -- a tie! -- can legitimately be called "On The Beach": two versions of "On The Beach", followed by "On the Beach 2" and "On The Beach 3". The others just have 'on the beach' as part of a longer title: "Rumpman Sex on the Beach," "Sluts on the Beach", and "Blasts Farts on the Beach." This last one is a real title, at least according to the Site. From Brazil.

Entering "Brazilian Bob Dylan" didn't bring up any impersonators on a quick glance at Google, so there is room, you Brazilian Dylan Impersonators: seize the mantle.

"Brazilian Bob Dylan" DID bring up a series of Bob Dylan paintings: "The Brazil Series". Just to be completist. With Dylan there is always the tendency towards completist.

OMG! I got this old and didn't know that!

I feel so complete now.

It's kinda sad, actually. Now what?; 11/17/16, 12:04 AM
