Over 46 years of seeing more Bob Dylan shows than he’s played! If last night’s brilliant closing show was the last, so be it. What a ride.

This clip of my late Dad came up in my timeline as we remember Ernie Wise who passed on this day in 1999. My memory is arriving home from school to find our kitchen wrecked and the Stripper music on repeat at vol 11!

It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris
There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm.
And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight

It’s been some year. Have a happy, healthy and fulfilled 2025. It seems apt to quote Bob Dylan:
“You should always take the best from the past, leave the worst back there and go forward into the future.”

So the people who voted for Brexit and said “suck it up” to those who wanted a 2nd confirmation referendum, don’t like the result of last summer’s GE and want another one. Riddle me that.

Isn’t it strange that the petition for a General Election after 4 months gathering algorithmic attention on the other place ignores the 6 million plus who signed to Revoke A50 and rejoin the EU.
