I did understand you were out of the loop on this.<br /><br />I am fascinated by all the cryptic references to you. Apparently Dylan can't let his slight of you go! But, I ask you, perhaps Dylan was setting you on the course of your life, that is, in denying the date he was making sure you would find your wife and that your children would be born. <br /><br />Aye, he is like the godfather of your children! <br /><br />Of course, this would be more certain if he sent them birthday gifts.Feldenstein Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-46835859995991362432015-02-09T07:01:45.445-08:002015-02-09T07:01:45.445-08:00That was me!

If I had known this might be a possibility I would likely have not slept for days and eaten many, many cookies in anticipation of the possible date. <br /><br />I would also add, Dear Readers of Clerkmanifesto, that if you read and reread Dylan's speech from his MusicCares tribute, you'll find many hidden references to me: "Come gather round people wherever you roam," for example, has the pronoun 'people' in there. That's not just any people, that's me, who Bob Dylan has always meant to apologize to, and did so in song, many songs. Remember this one: "There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend"? Well, I'm in that that train, the guy who wasn't allowed to date his daughter, and the day of reckoning is at hand. I imagine it would have been weird, though. I mean, we would have had to really hit it off to get from out of the shadow of her dad. How could I not have said, in the midst of a dinner date, "So...that "Jokerman" song...." "What's Donovan really like?" G.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08242049267511221959noreply@blogger.com
