1. Has anyone noticed that about 80% of B. Dylan's poetic lyrics make no sense whatsoever? He's definitely on the list of songwriters who should never sing their own songs, along with Kris Kristofferson, Ewan MacColl Willie Nelson etc.

2. Many, many years ago I was at a small cafe in Minnesota when tableside jukeboxes were still around. One of the selections was The Rising of the Moon by Peter Paul and Mary. I loved PP&M, and Rising is one of my very favorite rousing Irish songs. I played it a second time because I couldn't belive it was as bad as I thought the first time. Rising is NOT a lullabye. That ended the love affair with PP&M on the spot. Now I merely like them.
