#music Thank heaven I'm not being pressed to pick my favorite Bob Dylan album.Highway 61 and Blood on the Tracks would be in the top five, but after that? Yikes! Here's the entire "Tracks" album.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKcNyMBw818&list=PLWYs5zVlt6JAwL0-nN2_xOQp_2gNwQJaF

#bookstodon @bookstodon If you're looking for some interesting social history, read Ron Brownstein's "Rock Me on the Water." His thesis is that Los Angeles hit its peak influence on American culture in 1974. Music, TV, Film and Politics are the four areas he focuses on, with interviews of those who were there. Good book.https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Water-1974-Transformed-Television/dp/006289921X

Random Quote

Knowledge is indivisible. When people grow wise in one direction, they are sure to make it easier for themselves to grow wise in other directions as well. On the other hand, when they split up knowledge, concentrate on their own field, and scorn and ignore other fields, they grow less wise — even in their own field.

— Isaac Asimov
