Apologies this is undoubtedly the worst photograph I have ever posted of Flickr but I wanted to mark Bobs 70th birthday is some way. PLEASE DON’T FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ON THIS BUT IF ANYONE OUT THERE ADMIRES DYLAN GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
I was introduced to Dylan’s music in late 1965 when I was about 11. We had a student lodging with us then, one day it brought home the single “Like a rolling stone”. It was a revelation and at that age I might not have been able to say why I liked it but I knew intuitively that it was extraordinary, it’s power and depth making the little ditties of the Beatles sound like nursery rhymes. Dylan’s music has been a constant in my life since then. He has been rich source of musical and intellectual nourishment. His stance on the world I find sympathetic; live your own life don’t swallow someone else’s political social or religious ideologies about how to live your own life
From “To Ramona”
I've heard you say many times
That you're better 'n no one
And no one is better 'n you
If you really believe that
You know you have
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
From fixtures and forces and friends
Your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you
Making you feel
That you gotta be just like them.
Dylan has remarkably never allowed anyone even his fans to put him in a box such as “protest singer” He has remained constantly changing and surprising
A critic in the English newspaper The Independent had a piece last week when he gave 70 reasons for celebrating Dylan’s birthday three of these will do for me
1 Because he wrote "Visions of Johanna", the greatest song of all time. Former Poet Laureate Andrew Motion proclaimed it the greatest song lyric ever.
2 Because he made Blonde on Blonde, the greatest album ever recorded.
3 Because he made teenagers interested in poetry again. He offered a route into symbolists like Rimbaud, Verlaine and Baudelaire, and City Lights beats like Kerouac Ginsberg, Corso and Ferlinghetti.
So Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY

Update: Sad to hear the dinosaur is no longer there. It was taken away over the summer of '09.
Bob turns up to most of the ringing session these days and believes he is in charge of proceedings. Despite wearing a ring himself he has clearly not been put off by the experience and gets as close as he can to the action. He particularly enjoys chasing off the released birds - just to show he's the boss.

Tribute to Bob Holland who passed away on July 14th 2019. In front of his favourite aircraft a Gulfstream. In the EBACE static at Geneva.
It was so fun to design a poster for a musician I have always wanted to do a poster for. When I was faced with doing a poster for a legend like Bob Dylan I decided to lean on another legend. This poster for Dylan was my mini tribute not only to Dylan but the iconic poster that Milton Glaser created for the icon decades before. grab the poster here: www.tadcarpenter.com/store/posters/bob-dylan/

Handsome Swedish singer, actor and model Bob Asklöf (1942-2011) was a yé-yé idol in France during the early 1960s. He also worked as an actor for film, stage and TV and in the 1970s he appeared nude in several French erotic films.
Bob Holger Asklöf or Asklof was born in Motala, Sweden in 1942. From a young age on, he was always singing. At 16, he left school and went to live in Stockholm. There he had singing and acting lessons. He was big, blonde and handsome and had an extraordinary voice. With the singing group The Glenners he went on tour. At 19, he was spotted during a gig in Tel Aviv by Juliette Greco, who invited him to come to Paris in December 1962. He became the winner of a contest organized by the record company Pathé-Marconi and the magazine Cinémonde. His first hit in France was Vous souvenez-vous? (Do you remember?, 1963), and he became one of the yé-yé idols. Between 1963 and 1965, he recorded six ep’s and two albums. One of his hits was Bons baisers de Russie, the French version of the title song of the film From Russia with Love (Terence Young, 1963). His version can be heard under the end titles in the French language version of the film. In 1965, he participated at the festival de la Rose d'or d'Antibes (the Golden Rose festival of Antibes) and performed in France, Belgium and Switzerland. Asklöf also sang in English, in German and Swedish. In between, he worked as a model for ads as for Sgigrand Covett clothes in 1964. In 1965 and 1966, he recorded some songs in Sweden and made his film debut there as the young male lead in the Swedish-Danish erotic drama Ett sommaräventyr/Anna, My Darling (Håkan Ersgård, 1965). Back in France, he played small parts in the films La Bande à Bonnot/Bonnot's Gang (Philippe Fourastié, 1968) with Jacques Brel, and the Hollywood production The Sergeant (John Flynn, 1969), which was filmed in France. The Sergeant is an interesting drama starring Rod Steiger and John Philip Law about repressed homosexuality in the army. Asklöf had another part in Tout peut arriver/Don't Be Blue (1969), the first film by director Philippe Labro, and he played the lead as a G.I. in Vietnam in the short film Rosee du Matin (Jean Dasque, 1971), which was shown in the Quinzaine des Realisateurs section at the Cannes Film Festival in 1971. He played a hitman in Comptes à rebours/Countdown (Roger Pigaut, 1971) starring Serge Reggiani, and a killer in the adventure film Boulevard du Rhum/Rum Runners (Robert Enrico, 1971) with Lino Ventura and Brigitte Bardot.
Bob Asklöf’s acting career in France took a surprising direction during the 1970s. In 1973 the former teen idol played the leading part in Les tentations de Marianne/Marianne’s Temptations (Francis Leroi, 1973). At IMDb, Timothy Tangs notes: “Marianne’s Temptations is that rare bird - a Marxist sexploitation movie. Originally part of a Godard-like post-68 revolutionary film collective, cash-strapped Francis Leroi decided to exploit the current French vogue for arty skinflicks to fund the struggle. Casting a papal niece in the lead, the film made a fortune, and paved the way for Emmanuelle.“ Asklöf also had a role in Anna Karina's first attempt at writing and directing a film, Vivre ensemble/Living together (Anna Karina, 1973). Asklöf was now much in demand for the sexploitation wave that splashed the European cinema and starred in soft core sex films like Quand les filles se déchaînent/Hot and Naked (Guy Maria, 1974), Les filles expertes/Expert Girls (Guy Maria, 1974) and Dora... la frénésie du plaisir/Dora ... the frenzy of pleasure (Willy Rozier, 1976) in which he was often shown full frontal nude. His nom de plume in these films was Bob Holger. He kept appearing in small parts in mainstream films like the comedy C'est pas parce qu'on a rien à dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule.../It is not because we have nothing to say that we must keep our mouth shut ... (Jacques Besnard, 1975) with Bernard Blier. He also had a part in an episode of the popular TV series Les enquêtes du commissaire Maigret/The Investigations of Inspector Maigret (Jean Kerchbron, 1977) featuring Jean Richard as Maigret. Asklöf appeared as a Nazi officer in Train spécial pour SS/Helltrain (Alain Payet, 1977). IMDb resumes the story as “The SS puts a slutty nightclub singer in charge of a train car full of prostitutes whose "services" are reserved solely for Adolf Hitler.” This kind of Nazisploitation films were a bizarre and nasty subgenre of the soft core sex films of the 1970s. Big Willy and The Samurai at The Gentlemen’s blog to Midnite Cinema explain the subgenre: “These films typically showcase tons of skin (male and female) and sex, gruesome tortures, bloody violence, and humiliation. They are alternately set in brothels, prison camps, or a combination of the two.” Asklöf also worked with director Serge Korber films like Pornotissimo (1977). Korber mixed mainstream with adult films - credited as John Thomas. One of Asklöf’s better sex films was Goodbye Emmanuelle (François Letterier, 1977) starring Sylvia Kristel. This third Emmanuelle episode tried to deal realistically with real-life, and potentially depressing issues like jealousy and abuse of women. A reviewer at IMDb writes that in a way, Goodbye Emmanuelle marked the end of the free love era of the 1960s and 1970s. It also marked the end of Asklöf’s sex film career. In 1977 he returned to Sweden, where he appeared in only one more film. He played ‘Gorilla’ in the thriller Flygnivå 450/Flight Level 450 (Torbjörn Axelman, 1980) with Thomas Hellberg. It was not a success. He also did some stage work, including a play about Edith Piaf, in which he interpreted her lover, boxer Marcel Cerdan. In the 1980s, he left the acting profession to devote himself to his passion for painting and he had several exhibitions in Sweden. He also wrote poems and stories, which were never published. After a long illness, Bob Asklöf died of cancer in 2011 in Bromma, Stockholm, Sweden.

This is Bob's second Christmas with us. He is enchanted with Santa, the Frosty on the tree and the story of "The Night Before Christmas". I fear this Santa's days are numbered. No matter where I put him, Bob finds him.
messy standard poodle #2, bob. we got bob because when gary was a puppy we quickly realized that he needed a puppy, or a friend, or a distraction in general. so in comes bob. he's a sweet, but neurotic dog. he carries this webkin poodle around like he's a mama cat. if ever a dog should be on anxiety medicine it's bob. i think we cursed him with the name bob, because he's the dog version of Bill Murray in What About Bob and i'm Richard Dreyfuss ... it's all about the baby steps for both of us.

British-born, American Comedian Bob Hope (1903-2003) started his career that spanned nearly 80 years, onstage as a dancer and comedian. He made his film debut in Paramount follies (1938) singing 'Thanks for the Memory', which became his signature song. With Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour, he appeared in the highly successful Road to ... comedies (1940-1952), and in many other films until the early 1970s. During World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars he spent much time entertaining the troops in the field. For these activities, he received five honorary Academy Awards.
Leslie Townes 'Bob' Hope was born in 1903 in Eltham, a district in southeast London (now part of the Royal Borough of Greenwich), Great Britain. He was the fifth of seven sons of William Henry Hope, a stonemason, and Avis née Townes, a light opera singer who later worked as a cleaner. In 1907, his family moved to Cleveland in the US state of Ohio. In 1915, Hope won a Charlie Chaplin impersonation contest. After high school, he took dance lessons with King Rastus Brown and Johnny Root. He turned out to be a natural. Hope had a brief career as a boxer in 1919, fighting under the name Packy East. The following year, Hope became a US citizen. After deciding on a show business career at eighteen, he gave dance performances with his then-girlfriend Mildred Rosequist in Cleveland and the surrounding areas. Then he performed with a pal named Lloyd Durbin. Hal Erickson at AllMovie: "Comedian Fatty Arbuckle, headlining a touring revue, caught Hope and Durbin's comedy/dancing act and helped the boys get better bookings. Following the accidental death of Durbin, Hope found another partner, George Byrne, with whom he developed a blackface act. After several career reversals, Hope and Byrne were about to pack it in when they were hired to emcee Marshall Walker's Whiz Bang review in New Castle, PA. As the more loquacious member of the team, Hope went out on-stage as a single and got excellent response for his seemingly ad-libbed wisecracks." A short time later, he found his way to theatres in New York. In 1927, he made his debut on Broadway in the musical 'The Sidewalks of New York'. With material from legendary gagster Al Boasberg, Hope appeared as a single in 'The Antics of 1931', which led to a better theatrical gig with 'Ballyhoo of 1932' in which he was encouraged to ad-lib to his heart's content. He was praised for his comedic timing, specialiding in one-liners and rapid-fire delivery of jokes that were often self-deprecating. Hope broke through in 1933 as the joking Huckleberry Haines, the second lead in the Jerome Kern musical, 'Roberta'. During this show, he met the singer Dolores Reade, whom he married in 1934. That year, Hope signed a contract with Educational Pictures of New York for six short films. The first was a comedy, Going Spanish (Al Christie, 1934). He was not happy with it, and told newspaper gossip columnist Walter Winchell, "When they catch [bank robber] Dillinger, they're going to make him sit through it twice." Although Educational Pictures dropped his contract, he soon signed with Warner Brothers, making films during the day and performing in Broadway shows in the evenings.
Due to the success of his satirical radio monologues, Paramount gave Bob Hope a role in the film The Big Broadcast of 1938 (Mitchell Leisen, 1938) starring W.C. Fields, which was an instant success. In this film, he sang 'Thanks for the Memory', which would become his anthem. With The Cat and the Canary (Elliott Nugent, 1939), he solidified his screen persona as the would-be great lover opposite Paulette Godard and "brave coward" who hides his insecurities with constant wisecracking. In 1940, Bob Hope was teamed with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour for Road to Singapore (Victor Schertzinger, 1940). It lead to long queues for cinemas. It was followed by Road to Zanzibar (Victor Schertzinger, 1941), ... Morocco (David Butler, 1942), ... Utopia (Hal Walker, 1946), ... Rio (Norman Z. MacLeod, 1947), ... Bali (Hal Walker, 1948) and ... Hong Kong (Norman Panama, 1952). The series featured everything from in-jokes about Bob and Bing's private lives to talking camels. Dorothy Lamour sometimes arrived for filming prepared with her lines, only to be baffled by completely rewritten scripts or ad-lib dialogue between Hope and Crosby. Opposite Lamour, Hope also had a hit with My favorite Brunette (Elliott Nugent, 1947). Hope performed for the first time for US soldiers in 1941. He continued to entertain soldiers throughout the rest of World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and even as late as 1991 during the Gulf War. During his performances for these soldiers, he was very involved and almost always wore army clothes as a sign of support and admiration for his audience. In cinema, Hope played other comic roles in Caught in the Draft (David Butler, 1941), Let's Face It (Sidney Lanfield, 1943) with Betty Hutton, the Western spoof The Paleface (Norman Z. McLeod, 1948) with Jane Russell, the musical Fancy Pants (George Marshall, 1950) with Lucille Ball, and My Favorite Spy (George Marshall, 1951) with Hedy Lamarr.
In 1944, Bob Hope's radio programme was the highest-rated in the US and in 1950 he made his debut on television. He started hosting regular TV specials in 1954 and hosted the Academy Awards nineteen times from 1939 through 1977. Hal Erickson: "With his film box-office receipts flagging in the early '50s (audiences didn't quite buy the idea of a 50-year-old man playing a 30-ish girl chaser), Hope took the advice of writer/directors Norman Panama and Melvin Frank and attempted a dramatic film role as Eddie Foy Sr. in The Seven Little Foys (Melville Shavelson, 1955). He succeeded in both pulling off the character and in packing a relatively maudlin script with humanity and humor. Hope's last "straight" film part was as New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker in Beau James (Melville Shavelson, 1957), in which he again acquitted himself quite nicely." Hope played lead roles in more than 50 films and appeared in supporting roles in 15 others. His last film was Spies Like US (John Landis, 1985), a spoof of the "road" pictures with Crosby and Hope. The film features a cameo by Hope as his golf-playing self. The comedian amassed a fortune, which he invested in real estate. Forbes magazine once estimated his wealth at more than $500 million. Hope received many awards including five honorary Oscars for his outstanding humanitarian achievements in 1940, 1944, 1952, 1959 and 1965. However, the Academy Award for "Best Actor" was never awarded to him. Hope retired from public life in 1998 and celebrated his centenary on 29 May 2003, He spent the day at his home in Toluca Lake, where he had lived since 1937. Even at that age, his sense of humour did not let him down when he said "I'm so old they abolished my blood type". He died of pneumonia two months later. Hope was briefly married to vaudeville partner Grace Louise Troxell, from 1933 to 1934. His lifelong partner was Dolores Reade who had been one of Hope's co-stars on Broadway in Roberta. The couple adopted four children: Linda (in 1939), Tony (1940), Kelly (1946), and Eleanora, known as Nora (1946). Biographer Richard Zoglin, quoted at Wikipedia: "Bob and Dolores always claimed that they married in February 1934 in Erie, Pennsylvania. But at that time, he was secretly married to his vaudeville partner Louise Troxell, after three years together on and off. I found divorce papers for Bob and Louise dated November 1934, so either Bob Hope was a bigamist, or he lied about marrying Dolores in February of that year. He had actually married Louise in January 1933 in Erie when they were traveling on the vaudeville circuit. When he claimed he had married Dolores in Erie he was miles away in New York, on Broadway. More intriguing, there is no record anywhere of his marriage to Dolores, if it happened. And there are no wedding photos, either. But he never forgot Louise and quietly sent her money in her later years."
