Notes : Another pretty good day. helldrunken a hot even at 730. glassy. folk in the water early. some very good surfers, especially a woman with blond hair and ochre longboard. we take off on the same wave on the video. she was quite impressive. that night mikel and i went to see dylan at the west side tennis club. haven’t been in tennis stadium since i was a ballboy in the vilas connors final in 79. sell out crowd of 14k. many in crowd were there last time dylan played the west side- exactly 50 years ago – second concert after going electric (newport was the first). dylan was in his old time crooner persona – doing excellently phrased croaky versions of sinatra standards. many a folk were in walkers. mood was tense because of the dallas shootings and tears were shed and fists pumped when he launched into blowing in the wind. some kind of connection with everyone on the social activist spectrum- with purple storm clouds swirling in the sky. a funny moment- some jabroni screams our “ISIS” a fave song from desire but obviously not something you yell in a crowded stadium nowadays…
