I even have a hard time reading Dr. Seuss books


The Cat in the Hat 
By Dr. Seuss 
The sun did not shine. 
It was too wet to play. 
So we sat in the house 
All that cold, cold, wet day. 
I sat there with Sally. 
We sat there, we two. 
And I said, “How I wish 
We had something to do!” 
Too wet to go out 
And too cold to play ball. 
So we sat in the house.  
We did nothing at all.  
So all we could do was to  
Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! 
And we did not like it. 
Not one little bit.  




I'm from Brooklyn...there are no boring days.

These books are for ...sissies.



Al Capone would not read this junk..why would I?

Don't talk about my hero Al Capone that way...
Al Capone never was convicted for any Murder, so that makes you a lying scum bucket.

Dr. Seuss sucks!

Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
Said you'd been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you that’s threatening me

Can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
I dread to think what the future'll bring
When we’re living in gangster times

"Joni Mitchell accuses Bob Dylan of plagiarism"


Addressing her claim that Dylan is a “plagiarist”, Mitchell explains:
“It’s not like I outed him. He stole all of his lines out of a Japanese
hoodlum’s novel. There was a lawsuit impending, but it got dropped. He
told me ‘I haven’t written a song in years.’ I said, ‘What’re you
talking about? Who’s writing them, then?’ He came down to craft.”

Joyce Carol Oates, who is often mentioned as a Nobel contender, called
the committee’s choice “inspired,” but suggested that the surviving
Beatles might be more deserving. “Arguably, their music is as
significant, or more significant, than Bob Dylan’s work,” she said in an
email.

Of course the responce "the committe" would give is..."But Paul McCartney is not Jewish!"


Let me tell you a little story
about a 18 year old boy
who wanted a career of
an artist...
He decided to attend the 
prestigious Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. 
In October 1907 he withdrew his inheritance 
money from the bank and went to live 
and study in Vienna.

He took the two day entrance exam for 
the academy's school of painting. 
Confident and self assured, he awaited the result, 
quite sure he would get in. 
But failure struck him like a bolt of lightning. 
His test drawings were judged unsatisfactory and he was not admitted.
He was badly shaken by this rejection.
 He went back to the academy to get an explanation and
 was told his drawings showed a lack of talent for artistic painting, 
notably a lack of appreciation of the human form. 
He was told, however, that he had some ability for the field of architecture. 

He applied again a year later..
 he was rejected twice by the 
"admission committee judges" of Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts.

 He later wrote a book which he wrote:, 
"That gentleman [the rector] assured me that the drawings I had submitted incontrovertibly showed my unfitness for painting." 

That book became a national best seller... Mein Kampf.

And he said afterwards..."I bet they regret rejecting me now!"


Don't get Paul McCartney angry. 


Otherwise, you're gonna get what you ask for...

Paul McCartney is probably screaming right now..."WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PROBLEM WITH THOSE FUCKING PEOPLE??"


Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize 'Committee', said today that President Obama
 “really ought to consider” returning his Nobel Peace Prize Medal immediately, including the “really nice” case it came in. 


And Obama is probably saying right now..."That's it, they are asking for it. I'M GOING TO WIPE OUT THE WHOLE FUCKING 'COMMITTE'!!!"


 ...and the 18 year old boy says, "I told you guys, you got to kill them ALL!!!" "I was doing you guys a favor!" 


And Bob Dylan sez "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke"

If Bob Dylan got it, I think Leonard Cohen should get it too.

I figured he was replying from somewhere exotic, like sci.physics or maybe

The bar where Leonard Cohen acknowledged my existence has closed down. 
Either that or it's going through massive renovation.

It's right there at the corner of St. Lawrence Blvd and Marie Anne.

In either 1990 or 1991, the first really nice and warm day of spring, I 
was up walking that way, and waiting for the light, I glance into the bar, 
which had garage door type windows, which were open in the warm day.  And 
there I spy Leonard Cohen.  And he nods back.

I realized later it had to be a defense mechanism.  I might have gone over 
and said "Are you Leonard Cohen?" and so on, but since he noticed me 
noticing him, he acknowledged it and I didn't bother him.  But a quarter 
centruy later, I still have a good story to tell.

In a Los Angeles Times Interview Bob Dylan admitted to plagiarizing a
great  percentage of his songs including “Blowin’ In The Wind”, “The
Times They Are A Changin’” “Hard  Rain’s Gonna Fall”  “Knockin On
Heaven’s Door” and more

“Well you have to understand that I’m not a melodist. My songs are
either based on old Protestant hymns or Carter Family songs or
variations of the blues form. What happens is, I’ll take a song and
simply by CouponDropDown”>start playing it in my head. That’s the way I
meditate”. “I wrote ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ in 10 minutes, just put words
to an old spiritual, probably something I learned from Carter Family
records. That’s the folk music tradition – you use what has been handed
down. ‘The Times They Are A-Changing’ is probably from an old Scottish
folk Song.”….”I’ll be playing Bob Nolan’s ‘Tumbling Tumbleweeds,’ for
instance, in my head constantly — while I’m driving a car or talking to
a person or sitting around or whatever. People will think they are
talking to me and I’m talking back, but I’m not. I’m listening to the
song in my head. At a certain point, some of the words will change and
I’ll start writing a song.”…….Bob Dylan
