Q &A with Congressman Thaddeus McCotter ...9:22 am
Rep. Thad McCotter is a Republican congressman representing Michigan’s 11th congressional district (Western Oakland and Western Wayne Counties). He was born in Livonia, Michigan (where he lives today) in 1965, and was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2002. In 2006, McCotter was elected Chairman of the Republican House Policy Committee.
Congressman McCotter has a higher national profile than many members of congress, not being shy to take very public and assertive stands on particular issues, and to defend them in the media opposite the likes of Chris Matthews or (the rather more charming) Dennis Miller.

Arlo Guthrie: Republican ...9:31 pm
When I wrote that Alec Baldwin had come out as a Republican, I was being ironic — merely highlighting his political incoherence in favoring tax breaks for the TV/film industry.
But there’s no punchline with Arlo Guthrie. It is actually true. Ron Radosh is spreading the news, quoting Arlo from today’s Sunday New York Times Magazine. (… continue reading …)

The Stanley Brothers and Rank Strangers To Me ...12:49 pm
Bob Dylan recorded the song Rank Strangers To Me on his 1988 album Down In The Groove, and has performed it live on many occasions. The song was written by Albert Brumley, who is perhaps best known for writing the joyful and much-loved gospel song I’ll Fly Away. Dylan probably heard multiple artists perform Rank Strangers, but there’s no doubt he would have been very familiar with the version recorded by the Stanley Brothers. Currently on YouTube is a beautiful film clip of Ralph and Carter Stanley and musical colleagues doing this very song. Take it away, boys. (… continue reading …)

Bobs & Ends ...10:04 am
At Dreamtime, to honor the fortieth anniversary of the Apollo moon landing, Fred Bals looks back at all the instances in which Bob Dylan has expressed his vehement opposition to space exploration (at least by humans): Touching the Moon. Fred strings it all together very well, and there’s no question this is one of the stranger bees in Bob’s bonnet. But I just have to disagree (… continue reading …)

Strange trip ...5:27 pm
Just a note to say I know things have been sketchy and sporadic on this website lately. I thought I had gotten over a recent very irritating respiratory infection last week, but then relapsed, so my energy has been a bit low. (… continue reading …)

Bob Dylan sings Things Have Changed at AFI Tribute to Michael Douglas ...11:21 am
Bob Dylan and his band performed Things Have Changed at the American Film Institute’s tribute to Michael Douglas on June 11th this year. It was broadcast on TV Land Prime last night. No matter how I twist my rabbit ears, I can’t seem to get that channel, so I was pleased to find it on YouTube this morning. See below. You might subtitle it, “Bob shows the world he can still play guitar.” (… continue reading …)
