GA Russell Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Happy Birthday! It's also Annette Funicello's birthday! Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Hey, just yesterday I was reading a book by another jazz-loving priest (Merton's journal LEARNING TO LOVE, from the rather tumultuous 1966-67 period). Hope you have a great one, Matthew! Quote
Aggie87 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Happy Birthday to someone with fine musical taste!! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Thank God he's out of his Dylan phase. All the best Matthew. Quote
Quincy Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Have a great day. Get yourself something nice. Quote
Matthew Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 Thanks for the good wishes everyone, it was an enjoyable day, with a lot of people singing "Happy Birthday" to me today. And Chuck: I'll never go out of my Dylan Phase Quote
ghost of miles Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 As Mr. Merton writes in LEARNING TO LOVE, "Even Bob Dylan is not perfect." Matthew, did you know Merton had hopes that Dylan would set a poem of his to music? I don't know if he ever actually sent the poem to Dylan or not... He sure liked to play ol' Bob around the hermitage, evidently. Quote
Matthew Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 Yeah, Merton was really into Dylan, which would make sense because Merton was drenched in the Freach poetry that Dylan seemed to be into at that stage in his career. BTW, I've been thinking about Merton a lot lately, and with great sadness for some reason. Like so many priests/nuns during that time, and after for that matter, he seemed to be adrift in a sea with no map to give him directions. Quote
