Lizzy grumbled at me earlier that I hadn't been on the site for a while. Purely by concidence I'd been working & listenng to LC at the same time. But I think that I can heal il I'm a fool but...and so on. She hadn't listened to Death of A Ladies Man. Its written on the wall of this hotel you go ...

What can one say when its probably all been said before, except a genuine and heartfelt birthday greeting from myself and thankyou for what you didn't know that you did for me.

Sadly I won't be. But I can't complain I've been abroad every two months for the past year and will go to Prague in October and France for Xmas. Did you attend any of the Fillmore concerts Lizzy? If so which ones etc.

Hello again. Seems like a long time. To digress I would love to go to Barcelona next week...but anyway, anyone got any unreleased East Fillmore concerts that they'd like to trade? gjpopeuk@hotmail.com

A couple of weeks ago I bought Bob Dylan the Promos from 1966-2002 from ebay for a perfectly reasonable price. Why did I buy it (other than the video of Series of Dreams which is just so wonderful) because Sony or whoever haven't got the sense to issue it them selves so I put money into the bootlegg...

The last time we discussed this, which Tom refers to, I said I thought it was the song version of Beautiful Losers. So, if you read that you'll know what the song is about.

In The Sunday Times(UK) Roland White compares the soap opera Eastenders and how miserable it is to 'Leonard Cohen reading the news from Iraq'.

Had a look at the site, as soon as I saw him described as the Norah Jones for 2004 aargh.

From memory the article was just about Cohen's day at the monastery. Nothing we don't know about I think. I was just pointing out to completists (in a very longwinded way) that there may be a book published by the Sunday Times that has Cohen's day in the life at the monastery. And thanks a lot reall...

On the last page of The Sunday Times (UK) magazine there is a regular feature a day in the life of. (The other week it was Engelbert Humperdink who comes from my home town and I heard him perform before he made it at our local working men's club - now why did it have to be him when there were so man...

I don't know where I went wrong but two of my children buy The Sun regularly (for those of you who don't know the pits of the gutter press) and my son tells me that Dylan has asked if he can be a judge on Pop Idol in Britain! He read this in the paper.

YEH the Iceland one is amazing. It should be issued just as it stood in the concert not edited at all. I get moved at live concerts but rarely recordings but I did at that one, just as if I'd been there.
Goodnight friends

It had to be Songs of Love and Hate. tho' it could have been any of them except the newest as something significant has happened to me with each album. I'm just waiting.

Well a lot of times with the drawings and poems he sends us. I cannot imagine Bob Dylan doing the same. Plus I think once in the chat room. And I once asked something and Jarkko wrote to me 'Leonard says...'

Remember as well that there are two creation stories in Genesis. One really quite monotheistic the other very much influenced by Babylonian ideas when the Jews were in Exile in 600BC. Take that, and some bizarre organising of chapters and verses as well as translation then there the fun begins.
