The Otter Looks Askance At The '70's Vibe That Got Into His iTunes
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at 3:15PM | by Otter Random playlist while I go through some paperwork related to mom’s succession, which has some interesting surprises. Not sure what ‘70’s vibe got into my iTunes randomizer, but it scooped out my marrow and left me a little undone.

Dylan

Yeah. That’s him. Fifty years on, Bob Dylan gets the Medal of Freedom, which he can add to his Victoria’s Secret endorsement.
The ironies are layered so thickly that they could only have been increased by a Republican administration offering the honor.
Whatever, though.
Thanks, Mr. Zimmerman, for the incredible ride. The nation’s musical conscience gets a nod from the White House. But half our progress in the last forty years could be traced to the man, his guitar, and his pen.
And given the fact that you seem to get better and better in your song-craft, it’s kind of bizarre that you exist at all: only the angels have that sort of quality. Whatever anointing resides on the Jews and their prophets resides on you.
But your live show still kind of sucks.

Limerence Journal: May 30
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at 6:27AM | by Otter She wakes me every morning, does Limerence. She’s not like a lover: more like one of those obscure magical perpetually chaste maidens in the medieval Welsh and Provençal King Arthur romances, constantly narrating my day, redirecting me, retelling and interpreting the past, foretelling the future, weaving dreams about a terrible and dreadful present that I can’t control.
The knights who draw these chicks for their companions invariably are strong silent milquetoasts who do her bidding without question and accept her judgments without argument. I try to raise the bar a bit.
How we feel tells us something powerful about who we are. What we do with that is our choice.

Sherlock and Dr. Pinky
