Somebody showed us a clipping with a personal ad, a young woman looking for 'a man with the mind of Leonard Cohen and the body of Iggy Pop'. We wrote a polite letter suggesting we meet sometime, both signed it and placed my telephone number under it. The girl answered. Unfortunately, her only interest was in leading profound conversations." ON BOB DYLAN "Dylan and I were having coffee in Paris a few years ago. He was doing Hallelujah in concert and asked me how long it took to write. I said, 'Oh, the best part of two years.' He said, 'Two years?' Kinda shocked. And then we started talking about a song of his called I And I. I said, 'How long did you take to write that?' He said, 'Oh, best part of 15 minutes.' I almost fell off my chair. And the thing is I lied. Actually, it took me closer to five years. Of course he lied, too. It probably took him 10 minutes." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2008/06/14/bmcohenbox114. xml **************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's Best 2008.

I guess I won't be able to see it, because for the next two weeks football conquers all.

MIME is a device invented by French computer scientists that allows behavior insufferably obnoxious to the rest of us to be perceived by the French who, for some reason, find it profound and entertaining.

Maybe some David Gregory hours, too, during the "guesting" run, then likely passing it on to him. No chance it would be Matthews (unless he wants a few guest spots for the heck of it), and even Mitchell would be just a transitional host (if she's about ready for being off the road)...Gregory sounds right -- he was likely taking the "Hardball" spot if Matthews runs against Spector for Senate in '10 (which is thought very possible at this point)...(if they decide to go distaff, look for Mitchell to transition to Norah O'Donnell -- but Gregory seems more likely...)
