Raptor dead? No, not at all...except from the neck up.

Hi there, 42! How are the old pipes doing?

I know a good Dylan show when I see and hear it, and that was a very good one. The one last year was simply okay. But he did play guitar a lot last year, so Raptor would have been in ecstasy if he'd seen that show. We would have had to carry him home strapped to the roof rack because he would have been too aroused to get him inside the car, if you know what I mean. :-) Raptor is a rude nimrod who deliberately farts loudly in subways and buses and is proud of himself for getting the extra attention thereby. His dog is embarrassed to be seen in public with him.

For more of this sort of lowbrow entertainment (and I'm not referring to Dylan), come to the house concert at Raptor's place on Sunday, featuring a western Canadian bluegrass group known as the D-Rangers! That's a pun, folks. Be there or be impaired!

p.s. I know this is hard to believe, but Raptor lives in a tiny little country place called Utopia. I kid you not.
