This was that fateful show when the lives of Eorl and CHEER-ACCIDENT converged, at an all-ages show at The Bog Theater in Des Plaines, IL. Eorl, a local mystery and Chicago treasure, is either someone you know, or someone you don’t believe really exists. However, if you happen to be in the latter category, I can assure you that he is upstairs sleeping on our living room chair at the time of this writing.
This show also introduced 13-year-old Maggie Posa (Dylan’s sister) to the masses, as she (finally, after demonstrating a profound case of microphone shyness for the first half hour) eloquently reveals her take on “soulmates.” You can also find her on the booklet inside “Not A Food.”
Oh, and the music? We have a ramped up “Small Word” excerpt, “Inevitable,” “The Butterfly Effect,” and… lastly… you are denied the opportunity to see Dylan do his Peter Emphysema routine for the second month in a row. (So head on over to last month’s archive for that. Or just know that there is where you can find it, in case you want to make sure to not find it.)

And this should be the fourth and final (and most convoluted
and poorly edited) Three Thymmes.

Some Salad, some Desert, then the Sleepytime folks come up to join us for some spliced Eggs. Sorry about the quality of the recording. And not sorry about the quality of the recording… BECAUSE THE ROCK PARTS SOUND TOTALLY BRUTAL!! And Jeff and Todd break the video at one point with their rocking.

This is actually quite an old song that never got properly recorded until now. More than two decades ago, Phil Bonnet came up with the chord progression, Thymme wrote the melody and Scott supplied the words. It was a contender to be included on Enduring The American Dream, but did not quite fit thematically. Thymme made his way down to snowy Bloomington, Indiana so that Carmen could lend her always-beautiful vocals to this modern rendition. Definitely worth the trip… and she got to sing with Phil’s spirit, which was very much present via Jeff’s fingertips.
