  Hoi hoi @Visions,
  What a lovely write!
  And – assuming that you took the inspiration off the photo – what a lovely prompt.
  
  I was taken back a bit when I saw the litter on the pavement. Let’s hope that that is remedied now.
  
  If you’re a serious fan of Bob’s, you may be interested in other stuff than his music.
  Paintings, train wagon, his record collection. I may be able to help you there.
  If so, please send a PM or mail.
  Not his own music, I must add.
  
  I think your post is a very valuable one.
  If you’re American:
  Thank you.
  In all other cases:
  Keep them coming please.
  Kind regards, Gus

  Dear K,
  
  Wonderful vibe. This piece had me thinking about each generation creating their own progressive ideas that will right the wrongs of the current one so to speak. But the 60’s…that generation was seriously like no other before, or after. Terrific write. H🌷

    I wasn’t alive yet in the 60’s, but damn, the youth had such piss & vinegar against the establishment. There was no choice but for the government to stop, look & listen. Thanks for the generous comment.

  Once again you succeeded and writing and Article as powerful as meaningful on an important chapter of music history, Artists, and especially musicians were most often the ones to kick off change of social and political rules and customs. The Beatles and their generation initiated a real big innovation.
  This is an outstanding article my friend!

  I believe I read this on WC. It’s just as good the second time reading it. Your photo cements the character of the poem. A snapshot in time I wish I could have experienced. Dylan was a poet with a guitar. Excellent writing.

Zak's yellow xanthoma was vile.Urine tears, slowly run quietly producing ooze.No money left.Keeping Jesus in his grips,Father Edwards divine cock bastardizing anally.

  Inspirational to be sure. This write was a movie short where I could envision the hero if the piece roaming from one stanza to the next recognizing the differentiation of God and truth vs ai and evil. Great write. H🌷

  Sigh…where to start? I agree with Naaj up there. 👆 Those lines are definitely carved in granite. There’s a loss of humanity occurring on so many levels today. AI is replacing human labor, taking human paychecks and means of living. But AI does what man tells it. It’s not out there knocking on doors and handing out resumes. It’s the greed of man dehumanizing their fellows that’s doing the damage. The fact that we have a deranged overstuffed cheese puff feeding frenzy to his blind acolytes speaks volumes for the state of man’s moral compass right now. Every decision they’re making is destructive…to the earth (our host) and to its guests (us and wildlife). Yeah, I got rolling but this one took me to so many places. Keep carving those lines, my friend, and I’m sure I’ll keep ranting

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Like I told Naaj, I love those lines as well. I agree with you as I tend to do, I saw a story today where Chat GPT is causing people to commit crimes and hurt others and themselves. It needs to be regulated at the very least, but that ain’t happening with the Cheeto in power. These tech bros are accessories to the most corrupt regime after all. Man’s moral compass is damn near broken. lol. Always enjoy your commentary, even though I get you riled up. Appreciate you.

  What I love about this is the double reflection. The reflection of the writer and the reflection of lights on the freeway. They blend beautifully into something very deep and human
