Expecting Rain

Many thanks for the info... Numerous threads have been started and I do believe it could be popular BUT many of the threads began to descend into proselytizing with some insults thrown in for good measure. Inevitably many of the the spirituality discussions broke down into religious discourse. As I recall, none of them became so contentious that they required locking but it was frustrating that good discussions would degenreate into such discourse.

The more I think about it the less I'm convinced of its need. Much of Dylan's work has had deep religious and spiritual implications and this would be true of many artists. I think it would be interesting.

I didn't want to give you false hope but wanted you to know that it wouldn't be our (the moderating team's) decision. Ultimately KE oversees any significant changes to the site. I do know that Spanish Boots was approved and added by KE because it's BD related.

No false hope with me. I'd be interested but honestly, I'm not convinced that it would be helpful or necessary at this time. Interesting perhaps but as you can probably attest, there are moments when Political World gets heated. Having a second area of the forum with such potential may be a nightmare. I'd like to think we could all be adults and discuss ideas and experiences but something tells me that may not be realistic...

Still though, it is intriguing...

Can we have a forum titled "Pittsburgh: Gateway to the Northeast"???

... - and another one titled "Balham: Gateway to the South"? (after the Peter Sellers classic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74aK8w2910c )

I do not really think any more forums are needed here. I have been here over five years and there are still a couple I am yet to visit.

I'm w u oldmanemu. I think the forums we have are able to accommodate most everyone's needs/topics/inquiries for a Bob Dylan site. That's what we need to remember- that the focus here is Bob and his music. Attempts to fit every possible topic in to its own forum here will dilute the purpose for the ER Discussion Board.

But we want EVERYTHING!!

And we want it NOW!!

Is that a problem??

For you yes, for the Mods and the rest of us , No!

Emu.

My post drips with sarcasm and irony.

But you knew that.....right?

That is why I posted what I did. I play the game just as well as you.

Do you mean to say that you were YANKING MY PROVERBIAL CHAIN??

See, jimb - the old man still has a trick or two up his sleeve!

... Oldie is the Master of irony... a wonderfully funny contributor... I love his understated humour.

Thank you.

YES!!

For example, how did he change thickboy's to a :lol. ??

Diabolical.

I'd post this wonderful pic of window-washers at a children's hospital in Pittsburgh.

It could feature all sorts of tips on how to avoid Pittsburgh. I like it!

... I always wanted to visit Pittsburgh after hearing the song about the porn shop on the corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!

It would be really cool if you guys came to Pittsburgh & we could meet.

Unfortunately, I'm busy that day.

What a bad attitude! No Wisconsin handshake for you!
