So are you, Spaw. :-)

What a thrill it was to be in the studio during that show, and to watch Rick display those Dylanesque picking styles! It's too bad the listeners didn't get to hear the kibitzing that went on between Rick and Peter while the songs were being played off the Dylan CD's. Utterly hilarious stuff. At one point they were both blithering on in Indo-Pakistani accents as if they were two East Indian journalists conducting the public on a filmed tour through Bob's parents' house in Hibbing, Minnesota. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Did you people know that Rick Fielding loves doing impressions of old time film actors and suchlike? His mind is a repository of millions of bits of "pointless and useless knowledge". I can relate to this, cos that's the way my mind is too...

Turns out we both liked the same comic books too, way back then in the 60's...Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, and Classics Illustrated. Wak!

Matt - Right sizzlin' on!!!

Peter - Man, I regret not putting in an hour or two going over Dylan memorabilia...gotta do it some time.

What I want to do is play "I Pity The Poor Immigrant" on Rick's radio show, live, after explaining its hidden spiritual meanings. Mmmmmm....that would be fun.

Okay, gotta go now. Someone's breathing down my neck.

Yeah.
