I received an email asking me what this item has to do with Dylan, and whether I am assuming that all Dylan fans are liberal Democrats. My answer is that I often link to Steve Earle news, even if there is no Dylan connection. My site is not limited to material for liberal Democrats, and there are Dylanists in many other countries with many other parties. And I hope to find many interesting non-Dylan links to show you in the future.

The Wall Street Journal has an article behind its subscription wall called "Houses of Worship - Lambs With Chops" (tip from Joe Pop and Anton). Here is the last paragraph: As Mr. Joseph notes, Emmylou Harris, Bono, Al Green, Bob Dylan and even Alice Cooper -- once known for his on-stage guillotine -- have a positive spiritual influence. Mr. Cooper, as it happens, was a drinking partner of Mr. Lennon's, and his passionate warnings about the existence of the devil indicate that, sooner or later, many a rocky road leads to the 700 Club, or environs. For Messrs. Landis and Joseph, sooner is the goal.

Lost, Stolen, or Strayed:
OnÊ Tues, Aug. 8, a one-of-a kind 5 string banjo in a green cloth case was removed from the back of folksinger Pete Seeger's vehicleÊ either as he stopped briefly in Poughkeepsie, NY or in the small town of Rosendale where he was attending a political rally. This banjo was built by Seeger as a prototype which was later produced and sold by the Vega company. It has the following words written around the head of the instrument: "This Machine Surrounds Hatred and Forces it to Surrender". Any information leading to the return of this banjo would be deeply appreciated, to say the least! A cash reward is also being offered. Please check your local pawnshops, check e-bay, and in general keep your ears to the ground for any clues. Owner and fans heartsick! Thanks in advance for your help. : ( Sarah [Underhill] pmnsfs@hvi.net (from rec.music.folk)
