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......."

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.

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....

"Journalist Aran Tori travels across Britain tracking down the nation's Far Right Extremists. The combination of BREXIT and Donald Trump presidency has empowered the Ultra Nationalist cause, leaving communities more divided than ever. Aran enters the world of White Nationalism with a friendly curiosity and open approach, reflecting on his own beliefs of British identity."

Here are the first batch I've uploaded.Something I never knew, My Aunty Brenda was born in Canada. My Grandfather moved there in the early 1900's "looking for gold" :"goldpanning" Whatever........I will give you more detail when i understand it more myself.

I have been sharing these photos on facebook with Historic Saranac Lake
