Just watched the 1932 horror film 'Doctor X' and one of the characters says 'The human mind will only stand so much'. Bob Dylan seems to love the early horror films, so could this be where he got the lyric for Things have changed? (albeit with will 'changed' to can)

Bob Dylan only has three songs longer than this new Miley track and only one of them is better

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Wait is that true of Tunnel of Love? Brilliant Disguise, Two Faces, One Step Up... they all seem pretty aware. I'm not a huge Springsteen fan but this is my favorite album of his largely because of that honesty

I've said elsewhere that if you just read Leonard Cohen's lyrics on the page you might believe he's a better lyricist than Dylan or Joni Mitchell, but that's not how lyrics work. (He may be a better poet, that's different)

This is more an observation about time and not weird in the same way as Tennessee Williams listening to the Ramones, I'll grant you

A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit
To satisfy, insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not forget
In new book Chicago blogger & witch
Shows you how cheese can be magic

For the entire first line I thought this was about Trump sending the National Guard to Chicago

I get that folks are disappointed with Judge’s lack of power in the postseason, but I really respect that he’s going with the pitches he gets, playing small ball, and getting on base. The fault lies with the hitters behind him, not with Judge.

Well, not so little. And she could be moody, though admittedly not murderous.
