My Problem With Bob Dylan
Some thing(s) have been percolating, in the arena of being annoyed/confused or just disappointed, by many of Mr. Dylan's ways ever since I first heard listened to him as a 12 year-old in the basement of my suburban home. I finally get around -- 59 years later? -- to unpacking them and having a...

All You Need Is (More Than) Love
Some reflections on The Beatles' song/purported-advice 58 years after. Does it hold up? Was it ever true? Nope. Well, what then? What is needed, and how do you get it? I prefer the words of Procol Harum: "For the answer lies in learning, and in teaching we are taught. There's nothing hidden...
