Dylan and Dylan

Time for a cheerful write. You find what you can to create a smile.

I am jealous of my two year old grand-niece.

First,

  I am still uncomfortable with my niece having a child,

    and I don't care if she is thirty.

It is the principle of the matter.

Now,

 to top it off both of them went to see Bob Dylan.

I have missed seeing one of his shows,

 for various reasons,

   since I was seventeen.

I missed the one in West Germany.

  He had Joan Baez, and Carlos Santana opening.

Then,

  it was the time he toured with Tom Petty.

     I had to flipping work!

Various venues,

  and it never has worked.

Jealousy besides,

  you have to love the connection.

"Dylan your first concert was Dylan."

this is so great...my old girlfriend from Germany has seen dylan about every time he has been there.

probably saw this concert too..

i am going to ask her.

also...the title made me think Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas...and that lyric of paul simon's...

"when you say Dylan, he thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas, whoever he was, the man ain't got no culture...but it's alright ma, everybody must get stoned"

cool write., nostalgia brought to mind---

The concert would have been in June of 1984 in Koln. I don't know how to put the umlaut in there. I had went to see Yes a few days earlier. Friends of mine left the show during Baez. Wasn't it a Simon and Garfunkel line? I used to have an original print of "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme." Played it over and over again when I was five.

I have wrote something for each of my nieces. How can I not write for the next generation. Nephew on the other hand....
and that goes for the next generation also.

All kids are cute. Even the bratty ones. :D

Unfortunately, she is on the opposite coast. Still, I am the uncle. I get to encourage certain behaviors.
