ME: pack a bag, we’re flying to kansas

MY WAYWARD SON: what kind of bag

Waiting for Godot (to quit clogging the passing lane)

Finally!

You are now, currently, getting it.

Full list of Townes VZ's favorite albums, from a 1987 magazine interview:

Townes Van Zandt called this one of his favorite albums ever

I’ve been making album art homages for my daughter’s room. She loves Sesame Street and the Muppets, so I’ve been trying to pair sesame characters with essential albums. Here is my Big Bird/Bob Dylan homage cover! #sesamestreet #bobdylan #mashup

God I hope not (but there probably are)

I am admittedly charmed by the medical sleuths in the comments using hospital details to determine that the last one is fake (as opposed to just, it looks nothing like them and this never happened). Hey, whatever gets you there!

I gotta stop checking this stupid page

Doing a quick search trying to figure out a joke about this led me to discover an incredible new addition to my songs about Bob Dylan playlist

Shake that ass to the floor, do that Bob Dylan
This my scene, bitches screaming like I'm Bob Dylan

"I'd like to see him become a big star" — Bob Dylan.

Brian Wilson: THAT LUCKY OLD SUN with Ray Padgett | Jokermen Get more from Jokermen on Patreon

Went back on Jokermen to discuss Brian Wilson's best solo album (that's right I said it)

Don’t scare me like that

The new Crooked Fingers is excellent, extending a 33-year unblemished streak of excellence from indie rock hero Eric Bachmann, dating back to “Web in Front.” Genuinely one of the most reliable people in my life.

I love this Tight Connection attempt

He might actually wear this jacket in real life but it would be three sizes too big

Why is he cutting the ribbon at the Kelly Clarkson Hospital?

Slop Bob’s been busy since I last checked in. (He’s also died like three more times.)

Legislation to make restaurants disclose what they mean by 'home fries.'

The Dylan-Petty Rehearsal Tapes Bob and Tom jam on The Beatles, Merle Haggard, and more

I love rehearsal tapes, and here’s one of my favorites. Dylan and Petty and the Heartbreakers ripping through a bunch of tubes they’d never play live (including Beatles and Drifters covers Bob sings the hell out of)

congrats to Lucy on the winning bid. New Britain is in DADGAD and so is Death Metal Band, best wishes to you all

In an Uber currently playing “Santa Baby.” I swear Christmas season starts earlier and earlier every year.

Here AI Am to Worship? Thousands are listening to AI-generated Christian music, and they may not even know it.

Love that there is a Christian drag artist who goes by Flamy Grant

Alright which of you sickos is gonna be pulling up the floorboards looking for Silvio lyric drafts?
