Back in May, it was reported that Bob Dylan joined a Beatles tour in England, and went essentially unnoticed, to see John Lennon’s boyhood home.

But that wasn’t the first time Bob Dylan visited the hometown of the Beatles. Here he is in Liverpool in 1966, only a couple of months before his motorcycle crash.

Clare, in Clare and the Reasons, is Clare Muldaur, daughter of Maria and Geoff. Here she sings in defense of Pluto, the little put-upon planet that scientists say may not actually rate being called a planet. Listening to the French version, “Pluton,” on her MySpace page, with its dreamy use of a theramin sound, I get a sense that this was intended to be the missing final part of Holst’s suite The Planets, which was composed before Pluto had been discovered.
I’m taking some time off with the family to recharge, so if you submit a comment it may take a while for it to appear. Thanks!
Speaking of 60’s fashions (see previous post), blog reader Lía Pamina, a lady of Spain and self-described 60’s retro girl, has a couple of delightful new recordings, singing the Beatles songs “Tomorrow Never Knows” and “You Like Me Too Much.” They’re produced by Robbie Leff, of the 60’s garage band The Crabs. Bravo, Lía!
Carol and I are into the season 2 DVD’s of “Mad Men,” and one of the discs has a nifty mini-documentary that surveys 60’s fashions.
