The original story concerning the Claudia Cardinale picture was that she objected to its inclusion without her permission, and her lawyers insisted that Columbia Records remove it. However, in "Bob Dylan par Jerry Schatzberg" edited by Luc Bellier and Olivier Lorquin (Galleries Luc Bellier & Dina Vierny, France, 2006), Jerry tells the story of the design change, refuting the long-held belief that it was done at Claudia's request: "For the inside cover of Blonde On Blonde, Dylan wanted a self-portrait of me that I had in my studio... He also wanted a photo of Claudia Cardinale that I had taken and that he saw in my studio to feature on the sleeve. After we'd done the first printing his agents - probably without informing her - refused to let her portrait to be used in that way. I supposed they didn't want her being used to promote someone else. Anyway, the photo disappeared from the later printings and I think the original cover is now a collector's item..." Claudia has since been reported as saying she never knew anything at the time about her photo being used for the sleeve!

Whaal sheeit, I think I've got a few collector's items in my garage.
After the burglary, I noticed I have an unopened copy of the Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon and at least a couple of those Blondie things.

A burglary? You got booglarized? How alarming!! At least you didn't die (unlike Locker).
Uh, yes, I took a long nap this aft, dreaming of St. Aufgonastan of Tuolumne, the patron saint of boulderers.
Not attending MERCED ART HOP on Main and other streets tonight...watching the end of the Hobbit at John's. This morning's events were quite enough art for one day.
Play it loud!
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
You can almost think that you're seein' double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece (a purty little girl from Greece)
She promised that she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece
Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wastin' time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece
Sailin' round the world in a dirty gondola
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
I left Rome and landed in Brussels
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
When I paint my masterpiece
--Old Bobby the Gondolier

Give CC a hand.
Strike up the "band."
Gotta hand it to you, Bruce.
A realm of no insight and one hand sounds.
Everyone's Lost in Shanghai Limbo.
Push away the walls.
And cut taxes to the bone.
No Easter bunnies here.

*^I'm a akimbo too!*
A kitchen accident :
While, styl in' in the 6x6 -it's plenty perfect, big.
Big enough for a 'round gnome ta cook in.
till ya add da' wife and fur frugger - black (___tch)
she has that Velcro thing that whooped dawg's get.
They kling , cling , ckling - to the women chosen,
never very often after rescue, if given the choice,do they cotton
to a man the way they do to a Mother/wife.
So I'm cutting , the wife is washing at the sink (behind me on yer left)
She turns to pass me (there's just enough room) to get to the fridge
that is the corner of the room ( the 'fridge door opens the wrong way )
overlooking the hole in the center of the house where the stairs come up.
Simple raised-ranch/split thing 'dedrooms', not big bed rooms,
old hat 50s style.
So the wife and dog try to move as one behind me
but that dog, she's a low slung (B) dog,
And gets it wrong ,
Perfectly ' back goosing' me behind the knees,
I fall forward the knife in my right hand slams the counter
Some how ?
Broken little finger
!!!
Big " F" bombs scaring those that dwell here in. . . .

ADouble Dose 'uL dew yah
I'm sure I'd have more to say, ~ then didn't ,
but I'd split the post ,
My bad
. . MAGNITUDE OF INJURY RE-BOOTED, INJURY OF MAGNITUDE **
the some thymes allspice molasses dilangerous room in the joint !
STUBBED BUSTEED CRACKED phooked little finger #argh!
As per left and right wings?
My tight rock hard shoulders that have supported a broken neck while performing swing dyno's for years, deserve their over-do retirement. ( not yet )
Both the joints are held in place by a mix,
a spaghetti of sinew, grit, muscles and scare tissue,
Wholly Phooked; one has been rebuilt twice, the other only once.
I was not impressed with the last surgical procedure. The results were only so so.
The doc said things like :
The humane body was not built to climb rocks , as I've told recently
" oh , it hurts when you do that? ~ don't Do that !"
( I'm reapeating myself)

Again

While I feel his Disdain , I pity his pain and find this hard to post when considering his most
relentless pain. ( that said Sorry Dwain)
I've tripped, stumbled , Fell over the dawg, In my yout' id'a jumped lightly to the other foot. A pinky, the last sad finger to finally ficklly flip me off.
There will be no real climbing. No time to tape a S. O. o. L. ('poop' Out of Luck) Small finger, pointless, it would not help. Ive had this sort of grip afffecting, injury before. It's a terribly offensive joke, broke - broken & free to die, but not doing what I want and love. So the way is safe for another climbing season. They, the climbing seasons, have become short. Try, but spring is wet, mud in the freshest sense is a real pain to deal with. So there it is from late March I watch, wait for a week of dry weather. Then I buy a wire brush at the dollar store, and put a kit of expendable old-ish, gear with some things that would queer any partner not educated in the vicious removal tactics needed.
I drag that pile up hill then up a short 60 feet of stone, to a secret hole that heads counterintuitively further back into the depths of the hillside cliff. I've done that, Then last I reach out to one or two ageing swillers.. Both daily drinkers who only climb if I gather them up for a Friday-night / Saturday planned gig. We had it set and 'cause the fishing in the pond at the toe of the cliff can be early season good, not great. It was to start late evening after family responsibilities had been met.
Four times through till Sunday, so far (with a fifth that I don't count) We have try's at this overnight. Some times Missing soft or toilet, men have bailed at 3am!
So not this year Again. No other co-rotting bumps were contacted for options or support. only bought the brush, the gears secure. I hate that April to the 15th of June is all the opportunity that I have to devote for a season that I used to streach through ice season. As the urge is still strong only parts of the body just plain quit getting better. Tape a stupid pinky to try to climb 5.8?
Fart noise, and we know from the magic of The genetic mutants, "Never Trust A Fart"
( Donini quote, but there's ol' Fred Becky to think of, what did he do when he busted a pinky in his 50s?

Happy Easter Earth Beings
Easter comes
And Easter goes
Welcome like the melting snows
But like the days
And winds that blow
Where they go no one will know

PARKERSBURG – Trump is fast forwarding on his promise to bring back jobs, with the proposal of a new Magnavox VCR manufacturing facility in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
“We’re going to take our VCR jobs back from China,” Trump said. “The state of West Virginia will once again have a rich VCR industry.”
This is good news for former VCR assembly worker Carl B. Kindrewind. “I used to make a good living at Magnavox in the 1980’s,” Carl said, “but when the plant closed I was out of work. I’m glad the president is going to restore that way of life for us.”
Trump said that jobs in 8mm camcorder production and audio cassettes would soon follow, all in state-of-the-art factories.
“I know, some of you may have heard about the new digital age, how everything’s digital,” Trump said, “so that’s why, along with VCR’s, I’m going to bring back laser disc manufacturing. This is lasers folks – it’s like something straight out of the future, believe me.”
My Walkman thanks you, Dr. T.

Laser Discs? - Yeah, people still attempt to steal 'em. That Wizard of OZ edition is a real collector's item I tell ya.
I bet these folks were not the rightful owner of that milk crate either.

The apples turned out just perfect.Twenty minutes of that and here ya go, apple nirvana.
Currant preserves, apples sliced in discs, (no extra sugar) plus a good handful of raisins and a cup of water and topped with honey-roasted peanut butter.
I'm glad you don't have to watch me eat this glop.
