I have to read Bob Dylan's work to appreciate it. I'd also rather read Leonard Cohen's work.<br /><br />Though I haven't brought this notion all the way to the surface and thought it out, I suspect it's because I don't like Cohen's music very much. Dylan's is better, but much of it just isn't memorable.

BTW, Vienna didn't have a subway until after WW2, though discussion of a subway had been going on for decades before that,though a number of cities had subways by 1900- Boston included.<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_U-BahnRichardJohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490819511630683969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-21840171628184489572019-07-13T17:16:57.594-04:002019-07-13T17:16:57.594-04:00Good point.

That there were unseen things was always known, but perhaps the advent of things like the newly expanded Paris sewer system led to thinking of these unseen things less in terms of spirits and more in terms of mechanisms.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-87744352160958913722019-07-13T14:09:16.128-04:002019-07-13T14:09:16.128-04:00There are large areas of the mind, or brain if you...There are large areas of the mind, or brain if you will, that are purposeful but not available to conscious view, and perhaps subject only to the most indirect and partial control. I don't have any problem thinking of those processes as subconscious or unconscious. Some are as primitive as reflexes, but others are complex though visible only in their effects.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.com
