Chronicles

Bought books Sunday night.

Had to buy The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America The Book: A citizens guide to democracy inaction. Looks to be really good.

Also bought Chronicles: Volume One, Bob Dylan's new autobiography. The excerpts from it, as well as the interview, that were in the October 4th issue of Newsweek were just great. By the way, Dylan was on the cover. I bought it in the airport on the way to China. Really facinates me that Dylan has turned around and written a memoir. He's always been so reticent to do much in the way of publicity. I've spoken with some fellow die-hard fans who think it's another stitch in the tapestry of Dylan selling out, following closely on the heels of Canadian car commercials, Victoria's Secret adds, and feature films. The verdicts still out for me until after I read it. I'll post a sort of review at some point.
