I’m not a big fan of Bob Dylan. But, I do like this video.
I know what some of you are going to say. And I want to say that tomorrow night’s Open Thread post is already queued. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’ll find out tomorrow night. But, tonight, Thursday Night Open Thread.
What’s on your mind?
All that I was going to say was that Dylan made a lot of people copy his cue-card-tossing schtick afterwards.
But, here we go for a Thursday night:

Liberals are horrible, horrible harassers. I mean that in both senses of the word. Their technique sucks.
Dropping trou??
Do they think that works???

FrankJ recently asked what was the deal with Gorka. My reply? There’s something about five-letter names:
Trump
Pence
Kelly
Perry
Gorka
Figure it out, genius.
I’m no FrankJ.
I think that {-1} was mine, by accident. Mayhaps that {+1}, too.
Not a big fan of Dylan either – really don’t like his voice. I like his songs better when recorded by others.
However, seeing him live is an experience. He’s one of those performers you can’t take you eyes off of. He has a real presence.
Agreed.
Compare “Blowin’ In the Wind” by him to the version by Peter, Paul & Mary.
What a difference!
He could write ’em. .. Just don’t let me hear him sing them.
Well, for what it’s worth, here’s my favorite Dillon song……………

I don’t care for his voice much, but I do appreciate good music and it does fit to what he’s doing. I bought his mono box set on vinyl. I was not disappointed. I can see why he was such an influence on other artists. I’d probably have a greater appreciation though had I heard it when it was new. None the less, he is good.
One thing that irks me though is when people compare Black Sabbath to Led Zeppelin. They were doing two different styles.
Nikolai Lobachevsky, one of the pioneers of non-Euclidean geometry (in the case of Lobachevskian geometry, more than one parallel line in the same plane can be constructed through a point not on the first line), was born December 1, 1792, in Nizhny-Novgorod, Russia. Here’s Tom Lehrer, himself a mathematician, singing a song that he wrote about Lobachevsky:
