Enjoyed everything. Funny how the protest songs are swinging back around.

Greg, Thanks for the earlier NYC versions from Blood on the Tracks. Last year, I shared this essay on the 50th anniversary of the album. Hope you enjoy. https://peteschoice.substack.com/p/blood-on-the-tracks

Blood On The Tracks - one of my all time favorite albums. I hadn't heard those versions - thanks!

Tangled Up In Blue is one of my favorite Dylan songs. This was an interesting variation.

Very good selection of cartoons.

Excellent cartoons - can't decide which is fav- certainly needed the laugh to counter my outrage and disgust at the republiscums lies and most unprofessional hostility towards Jack Smith today--- had to walk away but the dems did some good push back (especially fond of Swalwells ! ) thanks for the medicine! ( I can't figure out how to get the tunes to play- it just says " error code 15 " ?- maybe I need to have youtube acct ?)

Greg--Beautiful, the three alternate versions included from Bob's "More Blood, More Tracks". In the comments below the "Idiot Wind" link, someone wisely wrote, "It paralyzes to the point of immobility". True for all three.

Excellent, thank you. One correction: Bob Dylan's home town is not Minneapolis; he's from Hibbing, an Iron Range town 200 miles north of the big city.

certainly aware of Hibbing, re-phrased it a better clearer now, thanks

Speaking of music, the words to this absolutely protest ICE! I’m sorry it’s not the best video of Buffalo Springfield’s For What it’s Worth, but it sure speaks to all the protesters today!

Chrissie Hynde did a most poignant version of You’re A Big Girl Now.

Whenever I feel myself starting to get numb to the circumstances of the day, I put it back in heavy rotation.

Great cartoons today! What a demented village fool/idiot, a global and particularly American embarrassment! Your SS sustains my laugh-track & I’m grateful for the tasty ‘toon, tune, cultural selections, & increasingly counting on them in this scary, imploding world. Priceless & please keep it up! 👍 🤎🐾🐦‍⬛🩷
