Excellent entry items into the contest Mark. I really enjoyed your poem and I totally agree… The born in the USA album with Bruce Springsteen is outstanding.

I liked that a lot of the songs weren’t necessarily about drinking but included lines about drinking. It’s good to hear the lyrics because there’s some nice poetry in there sometimes.

I've just reached Dylan's Christian phase in my listening. Steve sent me a copy of Infidels a long time ago and I'm looking forward to it, but I'm trying to stay in rough chronological order. I enjoyed your poems. I hope this week goes more smoothly for you at work. Cheers Mark!

Like a lot of fans, I was not thrilled with the born again records. I do love Slow Train Coming, but I only found a few songs on the other two albums that I liked. Infidels was refreshing after that trio. So far, this week as been much calmer at work! Thanks, Scott!

Nick Cave said Slow Train Coming is his favorite Dylan record, because the Christianity is so mean spirited and sinister. I can see where he is coming from.

Hi Mark! Those neighbors of yours! Yikes! Applebee's is a place I haven't been in a while. Food looks good. Your work must be very stressful. How awful about that physical assault.

I wonder what Colton would think of that guy. 🤠

Hi Mark - Infidels is a really great record. London Calling is in my top five records of all time. I half expected a tornado after that storm video. Lovers' Spat - very interesting.

WTF! Where do you live, Mark?!?! 😂 “Give me a hug, give me a hug… find it in your heart.” 😂 Breaking out the big guns today: Infidels & London Calling. Spanish Bombs … what a melody. Many thanks for the shout out pal! My videos seem to flip flop between irreverent nonsense and po faced preaching. I need to find the sweet spot or as I like to call it the Mark Morris Zone (MMZ). I’m not a fan of Sucker Punch at all (like a 2 hour music video), but like your daughter, I’m sure my daughter would love it too. Wasn’t a fan of the CGI, but I maybe didn’t give it my full attention on first watch. I’ll get it lined up for our next movie night. Oh, didn’t know you worked with trauma experienced young people, Mark. I was doing the same for the last 2 years. Just finished working for the charity in August. A tough, rewarding and under appreciated line of work … you have my respect. Have a good week my friend! Jack
@MarkMorris-1962 4 күн бұрын
Sucker Punch definitely isn't for everyone. I probably wouldn't have given it much attention except that Lily loves it so much. That trauma work is heart wrenching. I've done it for 22 years now. It can be incredibly rewarding, but there are days when you feel helpless and hopeless. I admire anyone who does it and gives it their all. Some days, I have a hard time hitting the MMZ, myself, Jack!
