Stack up the bricks, pour the cement

I have seen Bob Dylan over 10 times.The last time was 7 years ago in  Blackpool  [here] are some of my photos of that.

I dont think JFK was that "good":
 He just looks good now compared with what came after him.....
 He also created a template copied by  Obama:Bill Clinton ; Blair .Keir Starmer  et al...
 Shiny neoliberals  that people people eventually saw through and,in anger,  gave themselves  to Thrump:Boris:Cummings:& that cunt Farage......  -the 'anti-JFK's'
( "the party behind the grassy knoll.".)
That said, the image of JFK's death is still potent.Probably more potent now than then?
So JFK is a  dream merchant.business .....and no bad thing for that,
I can still remember exactly what i was doing when I first heard him shot. The Granada TV man said said something like.......
"shoot him if you can, see if you can shoot the invisible man......."
"Murder Most Foul": Lyrics

I notice ,this weekend, British TV is littered with ads for over-the counter sleeping tablet 'Nightol'
 I look forward to a couple of weeks when Ant&Dec begin  promoting  Benzodiazepines

Ken & Stan

Stan The Man was in the same class as me at Clare Hall Halifax 1963-1968
A wonderful bloke.
He died a few weeks back & me & Ken attended his funeral on Thursday.
A very professional  & kind service. They even hired horses,plumes, people in black hats & jompers to carry his coffin to the service
'funeral  ended , as Family & Friends walked out the Crem, Stan's  favourite tune played LOUD!. "Dont Eat The Yellow Snow"
Bravo Stanley.You Won.

Me,Phil & Stan.

just like tom thumb blues

So a boring week !
It's just felt like a 'rehersal' but for what? I dont know......
Last week ,while visiting Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield, I tripped in the multi-story car park next to the Market.Breaking my fall. i grazed my thumb.
No big deal ,but the cut was on the joint . Over the last week it became infected & swollen. Hypochondria spread like a coronia virus.....  Hence the photos ⓒ Cathy Zimnoch
The week's good news is, I stumbled upon  a book in Hebden Bridge Library .
It is  the finest prose  I have read in many a long year.....
.Set in the Basque Region of Spain. It's about a serial killer, but it is much more than that.
 [More Federico García Lorca than Raymond Chandler.]
Written by Dolores Redondo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolores_Redondo  it reads like the finest  poetry.Reminding  me of the style of  Anne Micheals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugitive_Pieces 
 Beautiful stuff...unique. Myth,magic, folklore, withcraft, psychogeography, and much much more...... please steal & read it!
They have also made a movie of it.'Not seen ,probably crap, but hey! This is it's trailer....
