A cut guitar solo from Here Comes the Sun:
Joan Baez on Bob Dylan's writing process:
It reminds me of James Joyce talking about Ulysses: "I've put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant, and that's the only way of insuring one's immortality."
A video compilation of fake bands:
Sun-Ra's Space Is The Place is now on YouTube:

Ruth McKenney — My Sister Eileen
I read this collection of stories by New Yorker writer Ruth McKenney because it included one about the author's experience living with her eponymous sister in the basement of my new home in the Village. My landlord is the daughter of her landlord in the 1930s. Leonard Bernstein later adapted the book into the musical Wonderful Town whose premiere Eileen died on the way to (along with her husband Nathanael West) in a car crash.
