In 2003 I rented a moving truck in Toronto. I was going to drive to NYC to pick up my stuff that was in storage there since the Dot Bomb, before 9/11. At the border they refused me and my empty rental truck. I even called my ex-wife for copies of our divorce papers. Unfortunately she was producing a Bob Dylan music video in Raleigh so the papers weren't handy. So me and the 2 girls I was with turned around, and got stopped by the Canadian border, again, with a fucking empty truck - then we drove back to Toronto, got an 8-ball or two of coke and partied all weekend anyway, just not in NYC.

Ironically I had no problems when I went the next time, with my brother and his friend, a little later.

Even more ironically, my shit was in expensive Brooklyn storage from pre-9/11 2001 to 2003 summer (don't trust Russian movers) and after I'd finally gotten all the toxic 9/11 dust off my stuff - I moved back to NYC in January 2004. This time I stored it in Canada until 2010.

Fucking borders, fucking storage, fucking Dylan, and fucking girls.

Fucking ex-wives.

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez and it's Easter time too

That sounds like a story! Especially involving Juarez. (And ketamine? Or other drugs?)

I think it was about heroin. It is easily his best song for me:

Just like Tom Thumb's Blues

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Ah.

With me it was ketamine and happy times, not blues. And just before Juarez became the war zone.

I've never liked Dylan (sounds like a stereotype of himself), though I do generally like the idea of him and like some of his songs, covered by others, or with others. All Along The Watchtower is my simple fave.

Never did find out which Dylan video my ex produced to watch it.

Recently I discovered a folder of songs I'd forgotten about. I added them to a Wistful playlist for a down friend. Included were a couple tracks that surprisingly I couldn't find on YouTube. One was this specific version of Bob Dylan's 'Mama, You've Been On My Mind'.mp3). In this case I despise all the other versions and covers available on YouTube. I don't even recall when/where I came across that file, but it was on my Wistful playlist on my phone from ~2003-2011 or so. (Another lost old song in that playlist was on YouTube.)

Similarly, I don't like "Long Black Veil", except for the one and only version by Dave Matthews and Emmylou Harris, neither of which I'm a fan of (though I am a huge fan of Daniel Lanois). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA3RKUHhN5A I like this version so much, a couple decades ago I wrote a screenplay treatment expanding on the standard's story (never shared). I'm just not into country or western - but I do really like Old West Ghost Town music.

Even though it has become a cliche, there is nothing like Hendrix' Watchtower. The first time I heard it induced a fugue state in me and a friend said something like, There, there, it happens to everybody.

Chuckle out loud.

At the time Dylan "got religion"—around 1980—the joke was that he was baptized in Pat Boone's swimming pool.

It's actually good, in small quantities - like most lounge core.

Everything we believe about the JFK event is false. Wanna really open yer eyes? http://mileswmathis.com/barindex2.pdf

I recommend this instead, 99% of JFK stuff doesn't touch this: https://tube.4aem.com/videos/watch/7b5ce00b-37bb-4cd0-b9cf-4174afd6d799

"The JFK Israel link - Johnny Gat" (12:43)

Very nice! Thanks!

I think it's oversimplifying it a bit. I think it's an accumulation of factors for a perfect storm. Remove any one or two of the parts, or maybe even dozens and it still would have happened.

More than that, they needed to instill fear and understanding of the hierarchy of power from the very top to the very bottom of all people everywhere, applicable to the smart and stupid and those in the know and those ignorant.

Much like 9/11 and Corona just don't add up, as intended.

That three-letter agency put out so much contradictory information that we may never know exactly what happened.

Heck yeah Dylan. This is an epic swan song.

We're gonna kill you with hatred, without any respect We'll mock you and shock you and we'll put it in your face We've already got someone here to take your place

Zapruder's film I seen night before Seen it thirty-three times, maybe more
