Recommended Posts

Ive been around for you

Ive been up and down for you

But I just cant get any relief

You got me stealin your love away

cause you never give it

Peeling the years away

And we cant relive it

I make you laugh

And you make me cry

I believe its time for me to fly

"Reo SPEEDWAGON"

Ok well maybe just for a little while............ I received a call last evening to fly to California next week to work on the new Dylan Video. He just finished up the European tour last night in Lisbon, Portugal, and will have a few weeks off before the US tour begins in Aug. My brother will be the key grip for the shoot and so I'd be dragging sandbags and light trusses through the desert heat nothing monumental ,but a great chance for a once in a lifetime experience to meet Dylan. Maybe have a cup of coffee at the canteen truck and discuss looking into justice's beautiful face and to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. :biglaugh:

Short notice so chances of getting a flight at a reasonable rate are pretty much nil, and I'd have to move some work around to do it but still, worth consideration all in all. I have no idea about the video and content only that it is a desert shoot, I'm guessing for a new CD. I think they are filming close to where my sister dove is resting if I get there I may stop there as well. The shoots are typically long days 12-14 hours so we'll see. Then again I may just expire in the desert heat, not that that would bother too many I suppose :biglaugh:

Don't even say that about expiring. It would bother me a lot.

If you go to sis dove's resting place, throw a lot of love there for me. sniff.

and Dylan that's really awesome. I hope to hear about your experience.

I will Exie I probably would lay some flowers from all her GreaseSpot friends there. If I get there and see Bob I'll tell him Exie says HI as well. Hey by the way the US tour starts in NY

Dylan how cool is that!

Ooops missed the last part , well one of the things he does is run the camera dolly on the track for the shoot, but he does lighting and set work as well sometimes . They generally do comercial work but occasionally do video stuff as well. I'm hoping that Dylan will be about and not hanging out in some limo. Now Tim McGraw hung out withthe crew and ate breakfast with them at the truck ,very nice to work with as opposed to Elton John who sat in the limo and threw a fit.

Thanks Exie me too as well. I'll say again I don't doubt your story or Kris's either for that matter that was not the issue I'm sorry if you felt I was. My concern is /was with peoples rights , there are manytings in tis whole deal that will never be fair I know that. But I have seen the result when people have their right to due process negated it is not a road that I wish to see us go down. It was dylan that provided the momentum to get Rubin Carter free from those years spentin prison for a crime many conclude he never did despite eye witness testimony.

Now the other

I'll send you my phone number. Please ask Bob to call me and sing "To Make you feel my love."

I don't know that's a tall order maybe some backstage tickets to the show in NJ I bet he'll sing it there.

WD - I travel a lot internationally - It is my experience that it is worth the $50 (USD) or so for a travel agent fee. They have always been able to get better ticket prices for me than Orbitz or Travelocity etc. If you are traveling on short notice the savings tend to be even better from an agent.

Gee, this is a first hand account, I don't really think we can take WD's word at this, Bob Dylan??...there is no proof he's actually telling the truth?

No one has any reason to believe this until it is upheld in a court of law apparently--or so the logic goes

anyway-if you do see Bob WD ---Ask him to stop mumbling

What evidence do you have that Elton threw a fit? Isn't that just hearsay? :D

None, but the story is funny in some ways sad in others, don't know if you remember the Visa commercials where you saw people shopping and at the end of the commercial at the checkout a close up on a hand with a card in it and it would be some famous persons card. That was the concept for this shoot, all he had to do was walk through this store and throw a few things in a cart and show his card at the checkout. I think part of the problem was he was irritated to begin with or seemed so that he had to do two things in one day, this shoot and he also had a rehersal for a concert the next night. Anyway he was not pleased that he had to push a shopping cart. His comment "They want me to act like a f*c*ing homeless" mabe the food in the Limo was better than the caters ........

Some more Elton do and don'ts ( three pages)

I donno...

Aww Mike I'll be in and gone before anyone knows it .......I'll just bed down with the seagull's

. Thanks, travel agents seem to be like dinosaurs these days, I remember when you had to go to one to get a plane ticket.

You might be making this up just to hurt Dylan. I do not believe you, I think your thoughts might be fuzzy. I am not calling you a liar, its just there is no proof of anything you say, so I choose to think it is not an accurate post.

I might but then again ,I'm not asking anyone to believe me,nor will I be upset if no one does. In short here it is...... it is undocumented. I'm ok with that.

When I read the title to your thread I was realling hoping.....

You were going to cult camp to get some help...

:biglaugh: Your a funny lady Miss Dot

Well the new song is Dreaming of You the first from a new CD at least that is the working title . Bob is famous for changing titles on songs though so who knows.

The video features Harry Dean Stanton here as the ultimate Dylan bootlegger way out in the middle of nowhere producing all this bootleg stuff. He starts off with these old suitcases full of stuff that he takes in to this shack in the desert. They packed this shack with tons of Dylan memorabilia from years of his career, (very cool stuff) and tape playback decks and he is dreaming of him as he makes all this bootleg stuff. No tickets, all I got was a working set of lyrics from the production shoot.

I'd pay good money to see Gillian and David. Awesome writer and picker.

.

By The Mark is one of the most powerful songs I've EVER heard. Done here with Ricky Scaggs.

Hey dove, I've been wondering for quite some time if Dylan got those kick azz lyrics he sang about what the fathers did to their daughters from TWI. I think it was in his Christain stuff.

Would you ask him for me?

Tell him that I think Stern is one nasty s.o.b. too, will you?

(edited for spelling)
