Loca’s Little Secrets











Oh no. My computer broke down today. Now I have to work on the computers down stairs in the office. This is bad because the computers downstairs have access to internet and now I can be easily distracted by blogs and emails. Thanks heaps to David!!! who managed to atleast retrieve all the work I had done on my assignments, even though computer was what I will call broken. What a relief that was!!! Apparently I am a nerd who as used linnex (that is probably spelt wrong).

Anyhow now I am blogging I may aswell share my favourite moments from Bob Dylan.

1) Spirit on the Water – I love that song and it was great that he sung it because before the concert David and I were walking around the streets singing lines from Bob Dylan that we knew. Our little Baileys bottles were our microphones. Anyhow one of my favourite lines to sing was ”you do good all day and then you do wrong all night.” From spirit on the water anyone who doesn’t know.

2)Just Like a Woman- One of the few songs from his past that I actually recognised. He totally remixed it, so music was real different but the words still the same. I love that song. “She tastes just like a woman, yes she does, she aches just like a woman, yes she does, she makes love just like a woman, yes she does, but breaks just like a little girl.”  

3) Forget name of song but it is again for modern times. Fav line is “I’m still burning, still yearning.”

4) The band sounded really good and Bob Dylan’s harmonica sounded amazing and on the fashion side of things he looked very cool.

5) David and I ditched our seats for a little while and found a place above the other seats to have a boogie. Shame about the lady that came and told us to go back to our seats.  

6) There was a line from a song that I had not heard that said, “we eat and we drink and we feel and we think and we all wear the same thorny crown. “  

 7) He ended with a song in which the chorus repeated “I believe in you.” I am sure that he was talking about God.

There was a couple I was talking to in the line for drinks and they would have been disappointed with these last two songs I mentioned because they told me how much they hoped Bob Dylan would not sing any crap from his religious years but I thought these songs were beautiful.

8) Reading Steve’s Blog reminded me of another great moment. The introduction of Bob Dylan. Check out Steve’s blog for more info.

9) Going to the Rod Laver Arena for the first time.

One major disappointment- He did not sing “Workin’ Man Blues.” I had thought he would given how much it shines in Modern Times.

You are most welcome Gem..

Also thanks for giving me a good excuse to see Dylan a second time..

If you get a chance when your computer is running again listen to the album Slow Train Coming, I think you will like it.

This post makes me weep. hearing you talk about Bobby this way makes me feel like maybe my life has been worthwhile. By the way this little post is coming from our new Next G wireless broadband that skims across the West Mac Donnell range before dropping into Heavitree gap to our funny little house with a not too terrific reception of 2 bars out of 5 but hey I’m talking to the world. I was gonna do my first blog on this funky hillhopping wireless but I cant figure it out. Stay tuned I’ll get back someday.
