BRAIN FOOD:

“Winston Watson, this 90’s drummer, who drummed for Bob Dylan for a number of years, was a young guy with a young kid. So his daughter was, 6 or 7, and she loved Bob and called him ‘Uncle Bob’ and she would come on the road sometimes. And she would go up to Dylan and tell him long rambling stories about school and stuff and he would just hang out and listen and seemed like he had fun.

And there was this one time where everyone is getting ready to go on stage and Marcella - Winston’s daughter - is missing. And Winston’s wife’s there and everyone is looking and then they get the crew involved and everyone is frantically looking backstage trying to find this missing little girl. Eventually, Winston goes and knocks on Dylan’s dressing room door and one of his assitant’s opens it and there’s Marcella in the middle of some long story from school, that’s she’s been telling Dylan who is listening very intently and motions Winston away with: “I wanna hear the end of the story.”

And so, a few minutes later, they finally are getting ready to go onstage. And right before they walk out in front of the curtain, Bob Dylan grabs Winston by the shoulder and says: “We gotta do somethin’ about that girl.” Winston assumes he means his daughter and starts to apologise: “Look, I’m sorry, I’ll try to keep her separate so she doesn’t corner you like that again.”

And Bob goes: “No, no no.”

It turns out Marcella had been telling Bob Dylan this story about a mean little girl in art class who had thrown paint on her cowboy boots. And Bob had asked her: “Why do you have paint on those boots?” and she told him about this bully and so Bob Dylan had stopped Winston about the bully: “We gotta do somethin’ about that girl.”

APPENDIX:

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A.O.B.
