Hazy blue clouds over bluish mountains in the distance. Ski runs visible on mountainside. Indistinct brown scrub land in middle distance. Evergreens to left and bare trees to right in foreground. Blues and sepia tones for late winter.

Both gifted songwriters with deep catalogs. Dylan has about 45 year head start on Swift, but her switch from country to pop is similar to Dylan’s leap from folk to rock.

Am 3/4 finished with this book and it is really amazing at revealing #Dylan ‘s songwriting process, while also illuminating the significance of his artistic achievement over the last 30 yrs of his career.

A dark blue river runs away to the right around a bend full of bare cottonwoods to left. The far bank contains another fainter tangle of trees. The sky is clear, pale blue. A cloud hangs low on the horizon in center, obscured by the trees on either bank.

#watercolor sketch of a bend in the Yellowstone River, at Buffalo Mirage, Sportsman’s Park from a visit this warm afternoon in Montana. I struggle with putting the river in motion. Need more practice.

A narrow channel of water flows through the center of the frozen river. A stand of bare cottonwoods in center background. Sandstone bluffs rise in the distance under blue cloudy skies.

Winter scene of farmland in foreground, bluffs in late day shadow in background, unsettled skies. A few trees in between in a row as a windbreak.

I loved this book though it was a challenge. Wallace’s “A Supposedly Fun Thing …” was so brilliant, I knew it’d be worth a deep dive. Tennis, addiction, killer entertainments, and a Hamlet connection.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
