okay WTF is with the medical profession and Dylan, my dentist flipped when she saw I liked Dylan.

....When you see a MN license plate and get the same warm fuzzy feeling you get when you see the state license plate from the same state as a close relative that lives far away

you own 500 bootlegs of his 1966 tour but you haven't listened for years to Blonde On Blonde, Highway 61 and Bringing It All Back Home, the only recordings a sane person would have listened to, from the same years span.

(it's a quotation from a Nick Hornby book....It's not *sic*, I'm quoting it by heart)

I am very friendly with my family doctor; he sees my parents and my son too and is almost like a very good friend you see once in a while. He is about my age and I asked him if he liked Dylan and we were talking about him and he got all excited about Bob and he said he heard the CD Modern Times was great and I told him it was. I was going to get it for him, but the store was closed. I like him and he said he wanted it; end of story. I wasn't looking or praying for a better diagnosis or anything; I just needed refills!!! He loves dogs too so we trade dog stories and 70s stories. He tells me he can me in The Haight in the 70s as a flower child, but I was just in Arizona wishing I was in LA or San Francisco. He tells me about his family also; our relationship has evolved into a sort of friendship; that's all. Love, Joanna XOXXO

.. you don't happen to have a Doctor name of Dr. Jones, eh Geoff?
- Do your office visits go something like this? .. 8)


'Ballad Of A Big Dirty-Bearded Doctor'

You walk into the room
With your stetho' in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, “Who is that man?”
You try so hard
But you don’t understand
Just what you’ll say
When you get home

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Doctor Jones?

You raise up your head
And you ask, “Is this where it is?”
And the nurse points to you and says
“It’s his”
And you say, “What’s mine?”
And the Doctor says, “Where what is?”
And you say, “Oh my God
Am I here all alone?”

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Doctor Jones?

You hand in your scalpel
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, “How does it feel
To be such a freak?”
And you say, “Impossible”
As he hands you a bone

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Doctor Jones?

You have many contacts
Among the Medivacs
To get you facts
For Heart Attacks and Palpitations
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations

You’ve been with the professors
And they’ve all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You’ve been through all of
F. Spock Fitzgerald’s books
You’re very well read
It’s well known

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Doctor Jones?

Well, the Pill Swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, “Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan”

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Doctor Jones?

Now you see this one-eyed surgeon
Shouting the word “NOW”
And you say, “For what reason?”
And he says, “How?”
And you say, “What does this mean?”
And he screams back, “You’re a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home”

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Doctor Jones?

Well, you walk into the waiting room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you makin' rounds
You should be made
To wear earphones

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Doctor Jones?

You spend your entire Christmas break listening to NET boots (along with a daily spin of Christmas In the Heart) and you find yourself lamenting that two weeks is still not enough time...

My girlfriend is jealous of Dylan, such as many other couples of us ER members. I’m listening to Bob Dylan, I gotta turn up the sound, she’s always yelling turn it down. So whenever she's around, I'm playing only tunes from Nashville Skyline, because she hasn't noticed yet this is actually Bob singing :D And I don't even really like NS, but who else could listen to?


Maybe Neil Young :)

Try Self-Portrait and Dylan 1973....she probably won't realize those albums are Dylan, either! :D

You wake up and you have pictures and books of Dylan propped up on your nightstand, your bookcases, and your dresser. That was priceless Tragos! I loved that and it is so true! Thank you! :D Love, Joanna XOXOX

I'm getting ready to move. I have a woman helping me get my current house ready to sell. I CAN'T BELIEVE how many
Dylan books I have...and Mags with him on the cover...on shelves in the beedroom upstairs, the living room downstairs and the porch. Just when I thought there were no more, I found more in my bathroom vanity...she said to me...wow, you never know where Bob can show up in this house :shock: :lol:

A couple of nights ago I played The Boxer out of Self Portrait. My girlfriend said she could hear Bob singing in the back. I told her it's a duet of Dylan and a singer called Blind Boy Grunt.
