The cover of Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited album released on 8/30/65

Highway 61 Revisited is one of Bob Dylan’s best albums. I have included posts and an article with information about the cover photo. I had always assumed it was taken inside.

Another example of Trump’s racism

He wouldn’t want to offend the racist portion of his cult.

Because Nikki Haley is a grasping amoral character who is basing much of her campaign on racist tropes. https://t.co/dNQ5ZRtael

Covers: Many Rivers to Cross

“Many Rivers to Cross” (1969) is a great Jimmy Cliff song. I like the slow cover by Nilsson.

We're stronger than we think. May the hope in these lyrics raise your spirit! This is "Many Rivers To Cross"https://t.co/eFGEYGFnI6

76 years ago today, Larry Doby integrated the American League. I've already written about how MLB should commemorate this day across the league. But the day also is personal for me for how it kick-started "Our Team." https://t.co/x9kS5DUHyU

“My first time up, Josh Gibson said ‘We’re going to find out if you can hit fastball.’ I singled.
Next time up, he said, 'We’re going to find out if you can hit curveball.’ I singled.
Third time up, he said, 'We’re going to find out how you do after you’re knocked down.’

As he should be. I just don't get why MLB wouldn't want to celebrate the player who integrated the American League. https://t.co/1D0TRqFYro

I completely missed this. Good for New Jersey for establishing July 5th as Larry Doby Day. Why hasn't Major League Baseball done the same? https://t.co/uE0ILhgr4J

"It was eleven weeks between the time Jackie Robinson and I came into the majors. Eleven weeks. Come on. Whatever happened to him happened to me"
When first Black ballplayer in AL was asked, if Robinson's prior debut in the majors eased the way for his integration.

James Buckley had a boa constrictor in his dorm

I am not an fan of the late James Buckley’s politics but I think having a boa constrictor in his dorm was cool.

James Buckley, who served in top positions in all three branches of government, including one term in the 1970s as an independent-minded U.S. senator, died Aug. 18 at a hospital in Washington. He was 100 and a resident of Bethesda, Md.https://t.co/c3xgAm2btG
