| @[greendreamer:3764] Great comment, and highly accurate. The 'Beamer' was one of a kind. A jazz jock in the mid-fifties, at WOR replacing Symphony Sid, before heeding west as part of the line-up at legendary 'Color Radio' KFWB, Los Angeles. Grace and Peace from the Father. | |
| Courtney Barnett – Avant Gardener Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I wonder if my friend has been inculcated into believing she is more than all that… I'm expecting greatness. My friend is trustworthy and knows music. All kinds, and not the same music I like, so there's no mutual admiration society thing. If he says she's got legs… that is, talent, and the ability (stamina) to be a career artist, well that makes it hard for me to dismiss her without listening. How big of me, right? Before listening to anything I first looked here, deciding to read before listening lest I be stricken, like my friend, into this nearly mystical awakening. But so far, after a trod through the thick for their thickness only lyrics (...or we could say pretentious and be done with it). I am not impressed, nor repelled, just… eh, curious. Wondering what she does with this, how she makes it work, if she makes it work. |

| Bob Dylan – Things Have Changed Lyrics | 11 years ago |

"I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range" may refer to a spiritual reality of those who trust in Jesus for the gift of eternal life. Having believed that Christ died for our sins and was raised for our justification, God marks and seals you. At the flood, Noah and family were placed in an ark, and the ark was sealed with pitch. Spiritually a believer is placed (and hid) into the Body of Christ, and His Zoe (spiritual life) is put into you, as it was when God breathed real, imperishable life into Adam, the first created man, made from dust. Locked in tight being sealed. Out of range, and harm's way, being hidden IN Christ until such time the Son returns in glory. Bob is a believer in the finished and sufficient work of Christ. Now if only those who practice a religion, that of Christianity, would simply trust in Jesus, rather than trying to be Jesus, with all of their striving, boasting and inevitable finger pointing, which puts so many off, what a wonderful world it might be. It won't happen, though, that's why He's gonna have to come back and kick ass against the very same type that nailed Him to a Cross. They had their heads jammed so far up their Law Book they didn't recognize the Gift, Jesus right in there midst, being loving, merciful, wonderful. Or it could mean, as someone mentioned Thoreau, that he changed while the world -- and stupid sitcoms -- remained the same. |

Wow! F. Scott indeed! Should have scrolled down before posting this above... 18 min ago Rated 0 Thinning hair? I'd like to believe it's an homage to Nick Carraway. Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby sees Nick turning 30. "Before me stretched the portentous menacing road of a new decade... Thirty--the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair." Nice to know there's someone out there I'm tracking with. |

Thinning hair? I'd like to believe it's an homage to Nick Carraway. Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby sees Nick turning 30. "Before me stretched the portentous menacing road of a new decade... Thirty--the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair." And as Steve Allen once said, "of course I might be right." Regardless, to me, the song seems a correction on the Woody Allen comment about God playing hide and seek in the universe: Man also does his share of hiding. "Who Are You" |
