| -Short Attention Span Theater- |
| And now for something completely different... |

| A Public Service Announcement. I just responded to someone in an email re: the M.E. and for the 1000th time quoted some song lyrics to make my point. After thinking about it for, oh, maybe 10 seconds, I thought I’d pass them along to you Rantburgers. So, here are the lyrics of my all-time favorite Dylan song. I find they accurately describe 90% (or more) of the behaviors and motives I see. They have become, more or less, a personal anthem. The words are Dylan’s. The flawed punctuation is mine - dating from about 1970 - I’ve never seen an official printed copy so I had to make do after listening to it about a thousand times. Enjoy, and pass them along to the situationally-challenged. |

| #11 please note - i dont peshawar stuff like this. Folks, you are witnessing the evolution of the English language right smack dab before your eyes. Think about going up to someone and saying "peshawar" while they are rambling on about nothing. |

| #9 Flame war? Wha? The point of the post is that the lyrics are spot-on regards human behavior - almost 40 years on. It was posted in the Short Attention Span Theater (i.e. of momentary interest, semi-frivolous). It was a mere public service. You stepped on your dick. I was kind. Your skin is far too thin. Tsk, tsk to you and Anonymous for your inability to appreciate Mr Dylan's efforts (the donut) and, instead, pretend to be Blog Studs (the hole) posting about me. There's only ONE Blog Stud in Rantburg, boys, and that's Sheesh. And I thought the art you've put on your website was pretty good stuff, too... |

| #8 PD whoever the hell you are... Thanks phor the correction. My misspellings aren't cutting and sophisticated like yours. Your comments on anonymity are rather amusing, but I guess you "Don't think twice..." If you want to continue a flame war you can respond to the e-mail address at my site and stop wasting the Rantburgers time. I apologize for doing the same and won't repeat the mistake... set up a hotmail account PD. |

| #7 Ms Omi - Deep. As in over your head, apparently. BTW, it's situationally. 2 l's. Thanx for your input. Anonymous - It's a joy to have the brave troll Anon with us, again. Don't worry, the link wasn't meant for your edification. Your posts bring to mind a statement from The Deteriorata, also a piece too far, in your case. To wit: "Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet." That's you, *dude* - to borrow one of Aris' idioms. |

| #6 PD, once again, provides the kind of vital information that keeps me coming back to Rantburg. Now I won't be able to sleep until I find out what his favorite color is. |

| #3 There's a "Bob Dylan" web page with the lyrics. http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/itsalright.html Offical? Idano, but it has this: Copyright © 1965; renewed 1993 Special Rider Music and the Colombia logo. |
