BOB DYLAN INSTANT SONG GENERATOR

I originally saw this idea in the now-defunct Spy Magazine A very clever satirical publication that also featured some serious investigative journalism and creative pranks. Itwas a great read but too smart for it's time and never was a profitable venture petering out by the end of the 90s.
The idea was originally by Andy Aaron (i think) and after listening to quite a few Dylan tracks myself I decided to eloborate on the idea.
The concept is to take a line from part 1 and pick and choose in any order another line from both Part 2 & 3. Then see if they make more sense than the original.
Fun hey?

And now I stand here lookin'	at your yellow railroad	In the ruins of your balcony	Absolutly Sweet Marie	Blonde on Blonde 1966
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,	My warehouse eyes,	my Arabian drums	Sad eyed lady of the lowlands	Blonde on blonde 1966

Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley	With his pointed shoes and his bells,	Speaking to some French girl,	To be stuck inside of Mobile	Blonde on blonde 1966
I walked by a Guernsey cow	Who directed me down	To the Bowery slums	With the Memphis blues again.	Bringing it all back home 1965
He sits in your room, his tomb,	with a fist full of tacks	Preoccupied with his vengeance	Can you please crawl out your window?	Biograph 1985

While one who sings	with his tongue on fire	Gargles in the rat race choir	It's alright, Ma, I'm only bleeding	Bringing it all back home 1965
When all of your advisers	heave their plastic at your feet	to convince you of your pain	Queen Jane Approximately	Highway 61 Revisited 1965
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah	But what do you care?	Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister.	Jokerman	Infidels 1983
Crimson flames tied through my ears	Rollin' high and mighty traps	Pounced with fire on flaming roads	My Back pages	Another side of Bob Dylan 1964
The cloak and dagger dangles,	Madams light the candles.	In ceremonies of the horsemen,	Love minus zero/ no limit	Bringing it all back home 1965

Arty people I know and respect Part Four

Two men responsible for Red Bubbles global success)

Ed Redman
Red Bubble original whose output is staggering but few
would ever realize it.
One of the driving forces creatively for the art site Redbubble.com Ed has crammed a lot in his lifetime.
Ed originally from Britain was visiting Australia and only days before he was meant to leave was in a major car accident that nearly left him a cripple for life.
This turned out to be a blessing and through this delay managed to meet his partner and become a founding member of the Red Bubble team.
Here is still known as the Minister of Tshirts and he must know what he’s doing because he has two best sellers himself.
It’s because of Ed that the Clothing design community on Red Bubble is so strong.
Before Ed had his accident he did have some success in the fashion industry with Wolf Rayett a reference to a celestial body which he also has a passion.

Besides his creative work developing and marketing Red Bubble Ed is also passionate about film, vinyl records, animation, Holga cameras and developed film as well as animation , astronomy ,alternative universes and supporting anyone who’s got an idea with a trace of originality.
I think I’ll just create a list of links to show how talented and underrated an artist this clever man really is.

Arty people I know and respect Part Three

CATHIE TRANENT
Cathie Tranent, South Australian resident (which we won’t hold against her) and my official proofreader, though she has never ever accepted the job neither has she accepted any payment.
I trust her for her knowledge and I also know if I’m heading in the right direction when she comments on the work as a whole that she is correcting.
That was always my plan, critical correction and assessment at the same time.
She did reveal once to me she did it because she got to read my work first, I believe she does it because she’s one of the nicest people on the planet.
Besides her scholarly skills Mrs Tranent is also a rather good (bloody) photographer with a penchant for Tee Shirt design and has shown her worth in an international contest
DEMO STORE CONTEST UNITED KINGDOM 2009

The MECHANIC (left) has also won a photography prize in 2008 in SA, very sharp readers will also recognise it as a collaborated work from the MONK ROCK SERIES.

Cathie's work has also been showcased on popular T Shirt sites around the web

Cathie's photography work also gives her a chance to mix passions with her love of blues music

I have collaborated with Cathie on many things, usually her fixing up my atrocious grammar and spelling but she did a wonderful photoshop image of my son and I (left) as well as a few tshirt designs on my writing.
I also wrote a story for one of CT's photos, something I rarely do.

This collaboration done more as a parody on some fine graphics done by CT has been picked to be part of an exhibition (maybe) in The HAGUE

Over the past couple of years we also managed to interview each other
and helped develop the GAME OF KINGS PROJECT.
All up Mrs Tranent is a talented lady with an natural love of old guitars and panda bears and I strongly suggest you follow the links and explore a bit further into the world that is Cathie Tranent art.
