What I learned from Bob Dylan today (Downashore)

What I learned from Bob Dylan today

...is that seagulls and other shore birds have oily tears that help keep the salt from the ocean out of their eyes. True that. Bob pointed out this obscure fact while signing off today on his XM Radio show, Theme Time Radio, the second straight week he has done birds as his theme. It followed Prince's When Doves Cry, and came just before his final quote, from William Blake. "No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings." The beach, though not birds, figures prominently in one of Dylan's most beautiful songs, Sara, whose lyrics are here. Dylan hasn't done a beach theme, though he's done summer and weather and the catch-all, danger, but it seems like something he'll get around to eventually.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots:

This is the beginning of my Internet Life. I have reitred from the grind. I am reading blogs on many topics, and commenting too. I think that you have to put some attention on a blog to bring it above the dry and boring verbage that is common, and you have definitely accomplished that. I am approaching this from all sides, sonce I recently started my own website with its own blog. In the text boxes I have entered my email address and my website URL. It seems to be customary to include these so I hope that its ok with you. TheVeryBest2You 13 4

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.
