“The [immigration reform] bill, which would give millions of undocumented residents a path toward eventual citizenship, now goes to the full Senate, where it actually looks as though it’s going to pass. Any further progress would require cooperation from the House of Representatives, the circle of hell where the damned are condemned to spend eternity voting to repeal the health care reform law.” - Gail Collins

All I’ve Got Is What I Want - Bob Dylan, May 9, 1965

In honor of Zimmy’s 72nd birthday, here’s the most random Dylan thing I’ve got on my hard drive (and believe me there are some random things in there). From what I understand, this is Bob fooling around on piano backstage at the Royal Albert Hall during the famed “Don’t Look Back” UK tour of 1965. Not quite a song, but kind of lovely nonetheless — another stolen moment for our eavesdropping pleasure. I imagine that the title is just a made up thing, but it has a nice Morrissey-esque ring to it, doesn’t it? Whatever! Happy birthday, Bob, you’re the best.

Left: A 1958 Braille letter from a Watertown, Massachusetts 13 year old boy to President Eisenhower, who was running for re-election. It reads:

Dear Ike,

I decided to write you a little speech which might help you to win the election.

Vote for me. I will help you out. I will lower the prices and also your tax bill. I also will help the negroes, so that they may go to school.

Good Luck in November.

““Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.””
