@spendius,
What time is it there, spendi. It's far too early to go riding herd on pints of warm beer in this part of the world.
@edgarblythe,
My last post was at about 10 minutes before noon.

Bob Dylan. That's over 25 years ago so where he is now is anybody's guess.

@edgarblythe,
Sorry Edgar. More reasons NOT to like Dylan.
@tsarstepan,
I don't try to guide your taste in music and writing. I post what I like and it is your option to reject or like. No skin off my nose either way. Dylan's best songs are in my opinion among the finest there is. So it goes.
Dylan's songs are some of the most recorded in history. That has no bearing on my opinion of the man. On the other hand, Van Dyke Parks' album Song Cycle seems almost universally rejected. Yet, I like it as much as most of my favorite albums.
@edgarblythe,
Wasn't criticizing your taste in music Edgar. For
most of the time, no one ever seems to comment on each others quotes unless they agree with their liking of said quoted quip. I just whistled into the one way wind that not everyone (myself) is a fan of the iconic singer/songwriter. Just a statement of fact rather then a critique of your choice of lyrics.

- Originally titled "Anywhere the Bluebird Goes", the melody was written by Sam H. Stept as an updated version of the nineteenth-century English folk song "Long, Long Ago". Lew Brown and Charles Tobias wrote the lyrics and the song debuted in the 1939 Broadway musical Yokel Boy. After the United States entered the war in December 1941, Brown and Tobias modified the lyrics to their current form, with the chorus ending with "...'till I come marching home".

“My nose is Gargantuan! You little Pig-snout, you tiny Monkey-Nostrils, you virtually invisible Pekinese-Puss, don't you realize that a nose like mine is both scepter and orb, a monument to me superiority? A great nose is the banner of a great man, a generous heart, a towering spirit, an expansive soul--such as I unmistakably am, and such as you dare not to dream of being, with your bilious weasel's eyes and no nose to keep them apart! With your face as lacking in all distinction--as lacking, I say, in interest, as lacking in pride, in imagination, in honesty, in lyricism--in a word, as lacking in nose as that other offensively bland expanse at the opposite end of your cringing spine--which I now remove from my sight by stringent application of my boot!”
― Edmond Rostand, Cyrano De Bergerac
“Be still sad heart and cease repining, behind the clouds the sun is shining; thy fate is the common fate of all; into each life some rain must fall-some days must be dark and dreary.”

“The continent is too large to describe. It is a veritable ocean, a separate planet, a varied, immensely rich cosmos. Only with the greatest simplification, for the sake of convenience, can we say 'Africa'. In reality, except as a geographical appellation, Africa does not exist.”
