Weekend Pictures & Birthday Present
Comments (13)Thanks all. I had fun picking them out today. It was just DH and I, the kids were spending the day at my mom's. They're not always the greatest of company when going to a daylily garden. I think I'm going to love everything we got today. They are soaking and will be going into pots in the morning to stay until fall. I received Caledonian Beauty last year in a trade. I had never seen it before. Just told that it was very pretty and I would like it. I do like it and I like that it's a later blooming daylily for me. I hope it continues to be that way. I need more lates. Michelle...See MoreBob Dylan - Nobel Prize for Literature.
Comments (22)I disagree with Martin. My take on Dylan's work is very personal. Frieda wrote "song lyrics can be poetry." I concur with this. A poet is often one who captures the zeitgeist of a culture, of an age. Dylan is my generation and spoke for me and for so many others against injustices in American society. Out of this counterculture movement (of which Dylan was the eloquent spokesperson) flourished the woman's movement, the Civil Rights movement, and protests against a wasteful and senseless war in VietNam. I worked in the Civil Rights Movement in the south, had male friends who were fleeing to Canada to avoid the draft, lived within one hour of the Kent State shootings, and recall vividly the Kennedy-Kruschev confrontation in Cuba. I am an unashamed child of the Sixties. America is still dealing with the aftermath of the VietNam war re veterans and PTSD. How much of Dylan's lyrics have you listened closely to? "Master of War"? "Oxford Town."? "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall"? Do you know what events these lyrics refer to? Dylan spoke out in his youth brilliantly and courageously for peace, in an age of great turmoil in my country....See MoreWeekend Music (FNM): Dark, Darkness, Shadows, Fade, Nighttime. Part II
Comments (37)I was sending emails to one of the originators of the music threads here to give her suggestions for new topics, and she told me to just post the topics myself. For a while, we alternated starting these threads, and then she decided not to post here anymore, which left me as pretty much the main person initiating the threads. She had kept a list or topics, including proposed ones, and emailed that to me when she decided to stop participating. EltonJohnDenver also started quite a few, and then she seemed to stop posting here as well, although I have no idea why. As I said earlier, this all started on Hot Topics, and the threads were always started early Friday evening by whoever happened to have an idea for a new theme. There were a lot of disparate people posting on that forum before it got banned (for contentiousness), and a larger percentage of them were men, compared to KT. I started posting FNM earlier in the day so that people would have more time to post videos while it was still Friday, but since the threads usually lasted through Saturday and Sunday, I started calling it Weekend Music instead but kept the acronym for archival purposes. A couple of times I did not post anything on Friday, and some people seemed disappointed, and so I decided to keep it up. I don't in any way own this topic, and so anyone is free to take it over. Carol, no one has posted those songs before, although I had thought that someone had posted the Kinks song, as it was one that I had also thought up - but neglected to post. I guess I will start Part III now - I did not expect this to get this far....See MoreWeekend Music (FNM): Cities Part II
