One thing you need to understand about Rod Stewart is that half the time he’s singing sincerely about the most beautiful heartbreak you can imagine and the other half of the time he’s making zero sense at all and possibly offending people. There is no in between.

Now that it’s the “Griffin” @msichicago school groups use the main entrance, where right off the bat they’re told they aren’t allowed to use the escalator or downstairs bathroom. I think Mr Griffin hates schools; he sure makes them feel like it.

When I was a kid I listened to the constant sound of ⁦@bobdylan⁩ playing in Shane’s room. This would mean the world to him ❤️ Bob Dylan performs The Pogues' 'A Rainy Night in Soho' live in Phoenix | Hotpress hotpress.com/music/bob-dyla…

Still buzzing this morning; the show last night was incredible. A whole new sound and vibe; they’d clearly rehearsed and crafted this show a lot in the three weeks since the last tour!

Bob Dylan played a song tonight no one seems to be able to identify. Lyrics contained something like “Never can tell which way the axe gonna fall / I may be here forever, I may not be here at all.” First line of that is in most verses. New original!??? Can’t be…. Right?

A letter from Barbra to Bob in the Tulsa archives thanks him for the flowers and says she’d love to do an album with him, adding: “I only record with Jewish guys from Malibu on CBS.” It’s dated Nov 78, around the time he decided he was a born again Christian! #Bobra

True (if not a lowball) and nice to have him on board but the Museum of Science and Industry is about 80% shittier to take a school group to since he plastered his name all over it.

Bob Dylan in Peoria: the cheers for him saying “Gulf of Mexico” got louder, and brought a clear reaction from the stage. My review: boblinks.com/040925r.html#2

This bit of @adamselzer's great review of Bob Dylan's Green Bay show is a really interesting thing to think about. How something(s) remains while everything around changes and how that changes what is, apparently, just the same as it was only a minute ago. boblinks.com/040625r.html#1

Yeah, tariffs MIGHT have prevented the depression. And if I ate 50 bananas monkeys MIGHT have flown out of my butt.

New this Dylan tour: there are some cheers when he sings “Down by the Gulf of Mexico” instead of saying “Gulf of America” like some dipshit. The songs are the same as fall, but they’re not the same now, ya know? My Green Bay review: boblinks.com/040625r.html#1

TIL: all you have to say knocking doors for the WI Supreme Court seat is “Elon Musk is trying to buy this seat.”

Back to Wisconsin to knock on doors for the state Supreme Court race with @ThePattiVshow ! If they’re stacking the deck we’ll just have to move their mountains and mark their cards.
