NOBEL PRIZE CEREMONY STOCKHOLM (PATTI SMITH / DYLAN) ~

It seems Patti Smith went over to Sweden (for Dylan?)

and flubbed a line in “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” —

quite the choice to sing at a Nobel ceremony.

It’s priceless, the photograph, covering her face with her hands in shame.

We forgive her.

In fact, we love her.

The Woodcutter Talks by Bob Arnold

Stone Hut by Bob Arnold

"Once again, my friends, this is your best book! Exquisite in design, fat enough to be a feast, pretty enough to just wade around in, but deep enough to dive into and stay with, all I can say is WOW, you guys really did it – it’s the first of its kind, a scrapbook novel that is also a how-to and a mystery -- how did he do it, and how does he make rocks balance like Thor? — Gerald Hausman" ~
