I have a copy natch. When it comes to detail it hardly touches the books and magazines.

Dylan learned all he needed/ wanted to kickstart his career in about twelve months, than he was off on his own. And like I said, good luck to him.

Folk songs are evasive--the truth about life, and life is more or less a lie, but then again that's exactly the way we want it to be. We wouldn't be comfortable with it any other way. A folk song has over a thousand faces and you must meet them all if you want to play this stuff. A folk song might vary in meaning and it might not appear the same from one moment to the next. It depends on who's playing and who's listening.

Bob Dylan Chronicles Vol 1.

This is pretentious and meaningless crap.

The Byrds Tambourine Man is gruesome. Check out a 1981 tour four verse version sometime. You'll get a better idea what Larkin meant.

Okay I will. My opinion is, others recorded better versions of many Dylan songs because of all the things Bob is, one is that he is not very musical. He doesn't make nice-sounding music. His value is in his lyrics.

Yeah definately a tranny.

Whatever turns you on.

I have a beard. The tranny suspects are the shavers especially if they regularly miss turning up in the pub.

I can do a lot better than the dog lover bit if the mods keep allowing you to project your obsessions. I don't think they would be up for granting you a monopoly. I can do pissing matches way out of your league. You're so trite and wanting in originality.

Be my guest fool.

Just got back from the Prince concert, wow.

Mathos, darling, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for that Dorothy, obviously you enjoyed the same, trust you didn't miss Spendi too much Question

That tranny bit got him going love....Now you know which button to press if he gets out of hand again. :wink:

Would you say a man wearing long johns was really experimenting for slipping on ladies tights?

0 Replies

Nah, he just seemed a bit hung-up on women's attire (and issues) in general but it obviously struck a chord.

Anyway, nowt wrong with being a tranny (and I have seen bearded ones) and I'm probably doing them a disservice by suggesting that spendy might be one.

Smile

Oh yeah, big dogs, much more imaginative.

Rolling Eyes

I do like them actually but what exactly are you getting at spendius? Lets hear it. I'm sure it's thrilling.

Hey the Independent and The Guardian both had concert reviews. Favourable.

Did y'all have a nice time in the metrollops?

Had a brill time McT.

Spent a lot of time and money just travelling about though. The journey from Gatwick to Greenwich was a trek.

Unfortunately I had a panic attack on the flight on the way there which was very embarrassing. I'm scared of flying but I thought I was doing pretty well until we were about to land and then the plane suddenly shot upwards again (there was still another plane on the runway), then I started hyper-ventilating. The flight back was ok though.

Not really. Quite obvious.

I was simply providing you with a demo that when you assert that someone is this or that you are effectively granting them permission to have an assert back. If not then you are claiming to have your fat, sticky lips up close to a one-way megaphone mouthpiece, which doubles as a late-night plaything, a gob-off in the manner of a parakeet that hasn't had a shag in a long while.

Possibly, and one might think it likely, that other victims in your miliex have habituated you to being allowed these fascist privileges due to their respectable upbringing and the awe your resplendent person inspires in them.

I was simply trying, in my own way, to let you know that I am not a respectable person and whatever awe you inspire in me is woefully insufficient for inhibiting my trying out a sort of tit-for-tat response when I have the whole world of human debauchery to choose from in which trying on a set of frilly lingerie, open crotchers for comfort, could only possibly cause a wry smile or, performed with a bushy beard, a guffaw or two.

"fat sticky lips" he he. Good one.

Coincidentally as I was flicking around the TV stations this evening during the Caroline Quentin police prog there was a video of Prince showing and my word, pop music has really moved on since Alma Cogan and Doris Day. He was working with some very foxy ladies indeed.

But he's only little, with about the attraction of Wayne Sleep.

I heard a Doris Day track today when I was in a shop. She had a lovely voice.

0 Replies

So did Alma Cogan. But as McTag suggests they were rather demure ladies. What a shock then when Doris sang "Move over darling, make love to me!" For a young boy, as I was, it was all too much!

I recently saw Alma Cogan's life story on TV. I hadn't realized she'd worked with the Beatles.

As I have never had any cause to think that Mr Sleep had any attractions I was wondering Mac if you might describe the most interesting and pleasant one so that I might appraise it with a view to including it in my repetoire should it happen to meet with my approval.

That's amazing. You should write to the Guinness Book of Records. They specialise in writing about unusual people.

You could be famous overnight and then you would be on easy street.

Tara, I'm not sure she actually worked with the Beatles (although it is said that she had a non-working relationship with John for a time). She did record some Beatles songs on her final EMI album before they kicked her out, and it was suggested (later denied) that Lennon and McArtney attended some of the sessions. But I am not sure that they actually worked with her.

One year after recording that album she died. Another one lost too soon - but nothing to do with drugs!

Just pulling DP's pigtails, describing her idol as "having all the attraction of Wayne Sleep"

She didn't rise to the bait.

Actually he's a good mover, as many shorties are, but in a slinky sleazy bisexual not-properly-shaved kind of way. He doesn't look the sort of chap you would care to introduce to your female relatives.

La DD (born Doris van Kappelhoff) was a singer of the first quality. She is not widely known for that now, mainly as a fine comedy actress, then as a professional virgin, but she was a big-band singer before that, and a very fine recording artist.

I believe her autobiography is very racy, but I haven't read it.

Good morning, McTag, chilly but sunny down in Devon, how's it with you?

0 Replies

Morning there Clazza

Sunny, cool, quite nice. Alles in Ordnung.

I was crippled for weeks with achilles tendon pain, but it seems to be okay now. I no longer have to walk like a castrated duck. Wonderful what idleness and sloth can do....er, rest and recuperation.
