I will try to repost the general drift of what I said yesterday. I was trying to get some pro-Moody convo going on. (Was that hip enough?) I said I agree with you on being burnt out. It is a shortcoming of mine to adore Justin so much. I know it is wrong to consider people instead of actions on a case-by-case basis, but I will continue to try to do better. That said, I agree with you that #30 was nice, but I have forever, being not that intellectual or poetic, thought of Dylan's lyrics much like I think of tweets from a certain president, not to mention any names. The word is random.

I said I liked Justin's refusal to play along with pretense, it is always refreshingly honest.

8) I again liked his philosophy of guitar ownership, it was somewhat minimalist and reminded me of Hank Reardon, since we oft talk of Atlas Shrugged here. Hank owned only a few objects of high value, contrasted to Chuck Berry who would replace a guitar with the detachment that some people replace teeth.

15) I like how he said he wanted to help Julie and Mike shine for multiple reasons. Not only did I use that word to encourage others back when I had students in my life, I adore it when great people surround themselves with great people, rather than using inferiors to make themselves look better (Why I am the quintessential bride's maid.), and I like the adage, "When you help your neighbor's boat to shore, lo and behold, your boat comes to shore also."

22) I liked the kudos to the backup vocalists in "What the world needs now ..." I adored them, they seemed so simply satisfied. They were a treat to watch. I wasn't expecting I would like the performance, expecting pretense like "This Is the Moment," but the voice and the message were like Wow! (Am I hip enough?)

23) I look forward to a new album, but even more to the new tours mentioned in other responses.

28) To disprove all false inductions that because great minds run in the same direction a bad mind can't run in the same direction as a great mind on occasion, I thought the very same thing when I read the question: COLD!

30) The morning before I read the Q&A, I was walking in Asheville Outlets. It sits on the site that used to be the Biltmore Square Mall, where I thrice worked. It used to have skylights and palm trees. Now, it's an open-air mall. As I was walking, I saw Dillard's, one of the few remaining stores. It threw me back to a different place and time. Nothing was there. The mood was all gone. I thought of what Justin said about places like Stone Henge being special and special places that haunt me. This was not one of them - a total disconnect from history.

39) Hahahahaha.

It is green on my monitor.

That was a cool article. I don't recall catching it before. At first, I thought it was going to be too guitar-techy, but I was totally into it. Lots of funny stuff, like the Gibson guys who make guitars look old. Now, I know the real story of the Gibson 335. I'd heard pieces of it before, but this puts them all together.

Thanks for posting.

You know I don't check baggage, you little trickster.

Frankly, I can't stand the content on Facebook. Sure, I love everybody, but if I read all their little sweet nothings, the day is over and nothing's done.

Hahahahahaha. I bought a "good car" back in January, and I'm still trying to get it on the road.

I wonder what the Justin is up to these days.

I wouldn't tire of a Vevo channel that live-streamed Justin 24-7 - except I'd never get anything done. Then again, all I need is the air that I breathe ...
