From an ad for the watchtower “Enjoy a sweeping panoramic view of the Grand Canyon from the historic Desert View Watchtower. Architect Mary Colter created the tower, built in the early 1930s, as an homage to the watchtowers built by the Ancestral Puebloan people who once inhabited the Four Corners area. The murals inside were painted by a local Hopi artist.”

Do more like this, Paul. I once put together, with help from another Dylan fan, a 90-minute show of Dylan tunes showing his changes over time. We closed it with 'All along the watchtower.' It was a big hit for the 40 or so people at the Cafe were we ran it.

Nice take on the music and the commentary is right there, whether Bob (Dylan) would like it or not. Authors don't control what their writing means now, anyway. How can we get more fierce music like this out to the people? I play drums, but they're kind of "inarticulate" without a radical band to back up. Need a keyboard like you, Mr. Paul!

On another tack, I just finished "Tyranny of the Minority" (pretty good) and look forward to reading your critique. Thanks for drawing attention to the book.

And a special thanks for the photo of the watchtower/south rim of the Grand Canyon!

All these years I thought the line "Plowmen dig my earth," was, "Come and taste my herb."

Can’t make out most of your wording. It’s a great song and appropriate tho.

It's a mystery to me why some can hear these things great and others can't. Has to do with different set-ups. On my PC it's clear.
