I have to dash off now for my Tuesday circuit of three pubs
in four hours, but first I thought I would say that I have
been listening to my local choir's CD of Christmas Carols
whilst reading Dylan's lyrics and Salt 12 which Candice
kindly sent me (thank you very much) and I must say that
I found more genuine scraps of poetry in the Dylan than
in the whole of the enormous Salt, but I dont think Dylan
is good enough for the Nobel as a lyricist cos he is a
songwriter and the music and the words combine in mysterious
ways, and it is a pity he ruined his CD by singing in
that dreadful voice which only Americans like and I
am off to the pub...
