Issue Date: February 11, 2005 CHRONICLES, VOLUME ONE By Bob Dylan Simon & Schuster, 293 pages, $24 Dylan, he was a-changin’ Reviewed by MATT STOULIL Bob Dylan paints landscapes with words, which he proves again in the pages of his recent autobiography. His lyrical oeuvre speaks for itself, and the way he crafted his chapters for Chronicles, Volume One is similar to his songwriting style -- full of imagery, open windows and fluidity. He lets us in from the stage door to get a glimpse behind the scenes of his eventful existence: from his youth in Minnesota, to showing up in New York with his suitcase and guitar, on to recording in Nashville and New Orleans. But he does not give the store away; there are two subsequent volumes in the making. The book has garnered much attention from many critics, and Dylan even made a rare appearance on “60 Minutes” with Ed Bradley Dec. 5. His book is nominated for a National Book Critics Circle award.

INTERVIEW: Grammys reflect hip-hop culture, political divide LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Friday night's MusiCares charity dinner in Hollywood honoring Brian Wilson is the big liftoff for the Recording Academy's Grammy Awards weekend, which climaxes with the televised awards show Sunday night at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Academy president Neil Portnow talked about this year's Grammy honors and the organization's efforts in advocacy and education with the Hollywood Reporter. http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/story...0&w=RTR&coview=

You should talk

Looks like he was active all the way up to the end... BTW, you can listen to a cut of his work off an album with Stanley Turrentine, via ITunes, courtesty of Salon's Thomas Bartlett's new column at Salon.com ttp://www.salon.com/ent/audiofile/

Pretty sophisticated rock - I liked the third cut The Great Decay the best. Their bio says: By turns wildly dissonant (“Some Red Handed Slight of Hand,” “A Gentleman Caller”) and beautifully restrained (“Driftwood: A Fairy Tale,” “The Recluse”), the organ and cello lines, thundering rhythms and disjointed guitars mesh in a symbiotic relationship with Kasher’s narrative—replete with recurring themes and a resolution that ultimately leaves the players and listeners both sated and spent-- that seems fairly appropriate. Make yourself at home, Mr V, and thanx again for the post :scratchin:

Gotta link to their website or their music samples so we can check it out? :strumma:

Thursday, February 10, 2005 SF Activist Says Prostitutes Perfect For ‘Ho-Land’ Security SAN FRANCISCO (Wireless Flash) – If George W. Bush really wants to protect America, he should create a “Department for ‘Ho-Land’ Security.” That’s the advice of San Francisco-based sex worker advocate Carol Leigh, who says cities can cut down on crime and terrorism by having prostitutes patrol the streets. Leigh figures the presence of prostitutes can deter burglaries, drug dealing and other crimes that thrive on isolated streets. It’s not a new idea. Leigh says law enforcement officials throughout history have used prostitutes as lookouts and informants. In fact, today’s cops regularly pressure prostitutes into reporting crimes – but Leigh says it’s a form of blackmail. http://www.flashnews.com/news/wfn1050210J14271.html
