I thought all was well until last Sunday nite while watching 60 minutes there he was  'pussface' himself  Dan Rather as obnoxious as ever, I thought we were rid of these bores,  Rather, Brokaw and Jennings( well poor Peter died so we can't speak poorly of him) and that little vonce Ted Koppel. In England they have readers of the news who do not impose their personalities on the viewers. Imagine this pompous, posturing ass Tom Brokaw making 12 million a year to read the news....?????????????????????

WICKED MESSENGER  by MIKE MARQUSEE     SEVEN STORIES PRESS

'Wicked Messenger' is the revised and expanded edition of the earlier 'CHIMES of FREEDOM by the same author ( The New Press  publisher) and includes a chapter on Dylans autobiography Chronicles Vol 1  and his 2003 film  ' Masked and Anonymous.      "Just because you like my stuff, doesn't mean I owe you anything " Bob Dylan 1970. It's hard to explain  and analyze anything Dylan says or does as he is unexplainable and all attempts fall short although  Marqusee comes really close in both these books. The new 'Wicked Messenger' is a treat for all Dylan fans. Published in paperback it is readable and comes as close as anything I have read so far on Dylan. The singer-songwriter is so far ahead of the curve that it will take years maybe decades to catch up with him. It is no wonder that even Harold Bloom said in 1999 that the two most important people that have made their mark on American culture in the 20th century are Charlie Chaplin and Bob Dylan. Now that's saying a mouthful, and from a man who gives nothing away for nothing. Marqusee keeps us interested page after page. Dylan is far beyond explanation, he is a shyster, prankster, liar, charlatan,genius, speed skater,smart-ass, hot air salesman, shaman,dybbuk, conjuror, delusionist and magician. He is capable of lightness, heaviness, high-jinks, horse-play and drama at the highest and most theatrical level. Marqusee gets it.

 Feng Shui..........................                                                                      

On Friday Nov 18, I entered a local furniture store looking for a simple stool for a drafting table. I was greeted by a nice lady who asked if she could help. I told her I was looking for a stool for a drafting table. She put her finger alongside her nose, looked up at the ceiling and asked me for a floor-plan of the room. I told her it was not necessary, all I needed was a stool. The reason, she said for the floor plan was that this store will NOT sell anything that is not approached from a ' Feng Shui' point of view. I told her I was not familiar with any Feng's besides Wing Hop Feng Chicken Works in Chinatown and the The Tung Feng Iron Mill in East Chicago, Indiana.She was not familiar with either of these Feng's but she continued on and on about her Feng Shui method of placement. Now I ask you dear reader, how do you tolerate this brand of B.S. I personally have had enough of these pseudo assholes. Please e-mail your opinion.

and thank you for your responses /
