Expecting Rain

hahaha... hold on... I'm getting there.... hahaha


okay, the couch unfortunately is not big... imagine that? I'm not making it up either.... my damn couch is some old victorian thing that will only fit one lying down....so that means one's gotta go on top....

I do have ample floor space... so yes to that.

I've allways thinking that i'm a mental... but now i'm not feel so all alone

I've never said that, or anything close to it. And you talk about others twisting words.

A world without drugs would be ideal, but that world is nowhere in sight. People love drugs - mostly alcohol. What I have said is that we if can handle the deadly drug alcohol, we most certainly can handle the far safer drug pot, and people shouldn't be put in jail for it. And I will continue to say it - until the laws change.

The last time I checked, this is a discussion forum. If my posts bother you - don't read them. It is, after all, your boyfriend who sings - "everybody must get stoned". I don't go that far. Lighten up.

Not really, I'm joking... it's supposed to sound mental on purpose.... So you could still be standing alone...

Finally, a thread that entertains.

well, i haven't told it about you, Milkcow, i've told it about almost all the tread

I hope not because I would be seriously offended

You should apply for a government grant to study you findings in depth..... but you might have trouble getting test subjects for the breath in part.

Are you a good grant writer?

I'm sorry for your troubles

You sure like my attention, don't you?

You know, 'my boyfriend', if you want to call Bob that, is a chain smoker of cigarrettes as well. I oppose to that, too. It's just as deadly, and people know it full well. 'My boyfriend' is also concerned these days not to be presented in the media as a user of illicit substances. 'My boyfriend' sings, 'they'll stone ya' - nowhere does it say, do it to yourself. These are his exact words. Of course, that doesn't suit your interpretation.

Oh, and last time I checked, the terms of use said members are guests to this forum. They don't get to make their own rules.

Oh, we could just sandwich him.

Not sure.... hum a few bars and I will see if I know it!!!

what if my antique couch breaks? I'm gonna be pissed at the both of you....

Oh man... I'm sorry... I'm going to be a joke wrecker right now and I didn't mean to be... but I don't get what you mean by hum a few bars... I'm missing it here (crap)....

Oh, no worries, he is a 'zimmermann' by birth. He knows how to build furniture.
If not, well I guess you'll have ways to convince him to buy you a new one. A big new one. We just need to let go of his hands long enough so he can sign the check.

Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35

Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to go home
Then they’ll stone ya when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned



Having proved you wrong numerous times, and getting nowhere, I'm done with this. Enjoy your blindness.

I still don't see where it says, 'stone yourself'. It does not say so. It is the most popular interpretation, you might reasonably claim it is the intended message, but it's obviously deliberately vague.

Is this an argument about whether Bob Dylan approves of smoking weed?

No, it's really about whether the legalization discussion should be conducted here.

I want some of what the compiler of this has been smoking, esp when listening to track #9:

I don't know where "here" is...or "there" for that matter...so I have no opinion. Except pot should surely be legal. What a crime that I can buy a bottle of whiskey on every corner. That stuff kills, is addictive, and makes you puke too
Anyway, back to dylanego's quiet friend.

I don't believe Dylan is two people, I believe he is very slow to allow people to see his real self. There was an interview with an engineer on TOOM (I think) talking about how he finally got to know Dylan a bit and one day they were sitting there talking and Dylan was as normal as can be, and then someone else came in the room and he became Mr. Reclusive Weirdo. It's a defense mechanism, imo.

I like that name.... and I agree.

He was able to communicate and talk just fine when he wanted to get those record deals and gigs during the early 60's. I even remember someone on NDH commending his ability to pick out the right person and to manipulate (might be a harsh choice of words) them into getting what he wanted. I think the whole mumbling, reclusive rock star act is more of a posturing/attitude thing. Remember, Dylan is very good at maintaining his public image.

Besides, every celebrity is somewhat detached from the average Joe, that's no reason to go around diagnosing them. In fact, if we're diagnosing him, I'd put my money on sociopathy over Asperger's.

Or a borderline personality disorder.
Or an histrionic personality disorder
Or anything. It imposible to put a diagnosis by pic.
I can agree with you about the only thing - if he was an absolutely ordinary person, he wouldn't be Bob Dylan.
