At least I hope you do. I’m moving all regular operations over to my other website, The Cinch Review. It will now include a category I’m calling Dylanosophy (about halfway down the home page); to be different, and because it probably better describes the best of whatever it is I do in that regard (i.e. better than the term Dylanology). I’m doing this because (a) it’s long past time to put all my internet scribblings in one place and (b) my motivation to comment on everything happening in the Dylan universe is just not strong enough to justify this venue any more. Too often I would be repeating myself, which I don’t like to do — it’s all in the archives somewhere, and I don’t have any plans to take down the archives (although I’ll probably move a few items over to the new spot). I’d like to do Dylan-related things only when I have something to say, rather than trying to keep up-to-date for no other reason than keeping up-to-date.

I’m enormously and sincerely grateful for all the eyeballs and support I’ve received here, and I hope whatever bizarre mix of things I continue to launch into the ether will meet your fancy in one way or another.

(There’s a quirky, long and potentially amusing Dylan thing I’ve been working on which should be up within a few days.)

Naturally, I’d be very happy if any fellow bloggers who’ve linked to this site would consider adding (or substituting) The Cinch Review link in the ol’ blogroll. (I’m generally happy to reciprocate for all except genuine Nazis or 9/11 Truthers.)

Goodbye is too good a word, so I’ll just say … bookmark this!
