Re: What movie did you watch today?

Yo, Roy, have you read Hammett's Red Harvest? Put that on your list if you haven't I've seen this one recommended by numerous posters in the stickied Books thread.

Re: Bob Dylan - 1965 Tour

Yeah, I figured that I'd test the waters with this poll to see if there are enough Bob Dylan fans to do a batch of these.

62-63 Demos
65 Studio
John Wesley Harding Era
Blood On The Tracks Era

But I'll probably just move on to something else.
