It’s a hot and humid holiday. This of course, would make for a slow blogging day.
Robert Allen Zimmerman was born on this day in 1941.
He would later call himself Bob Dylan after the poet Dylan Thomas, who along with Woody Guthrie, was a great influence on him. More here about his life and career.
“The Hurricane”, a song about the story of Reuben “Hurricane” Carter. Performance in 1975

Like a Rolling Stone” is another favourite. I like the lyrics; they remind us how bad luck can happen to anyone and thus, how arrogance toward the unfortunate and the marginalized is a bad idea. This video is of Dylan’s performance at the Newport Folk Festival of 1965.

Today we celebrate the birth of a great poet, song and dance man and artist without peer, Robert Allen Zimmermann. We also celebrate Victoria Day and la jour Patriotes. We also acknowledge the return of Sister Sage to the blogsphere. It’s common to have a 2 for 1, 3 for 1 is rare, but rarer still is a 4 for 1. Let’s celebrate all four!!
