I was just in Minneapolis helping my sister prepare our mother’s house for the real estate market, which is booming up there now. On my last night, I finally had time to see old friends for a couple of brews before leaving in the morning. So I get in the rental car and the first song that comes on is called ‘Last Night’ and the lyrics, repeated over and over, were ‘Last night before the morning.’
Later that evening as I’m leaving Tracy’s, our old hangout in Minneapolis’s Seward neighborhood, a street person steps in front of me with a Sharpie and asks me to sign his vest. All right, I say. I take the Sharpie and reach over to write my name on the collar, where there’s only one name. It’s mine and below it was that day’s date, 5/23/16. So I just underlined ‘Rob’ gave him a dollar, and headed home the last night before the morning.
For some unknown reason, a high percentage of psychic messages come to me through music. It may be because I am an individual whose Mother was the classical pianist and violinist, so I lived from birth in a home that was filled with music. In any case, I long ago recognized that there are messages for me in music, and I pay attention. Love this post, btw, and the comments. 🙂
‘Rob’ was already written on his vest? Wow! What are the odds? And what could it mean? Things like that are mysteriously intriguing. Did you tell him that was your name?
Yeah, it was surprising. But there was no time to discuss it with him. The sky was purple and it was starting to rain. A few miles away, lightening was about to strike the open-air stadium concert where Beyonce was playing and the concert would be halted in mid-song. I got in the car and got away.
“The sky was purple and it was starting to rain”?!
I noticed that there was a picture of the late ‘Purple Rain’ singer Prince on the wall of the bar as well as a Bob Dylan picture
(I think).
‘A Hard Rain is Gonna Fall’?

Nice one, Daz. Good catch! Both Prince and Dylan are from Minnesota – the reason those pics are one the wall, I guess. Also, it was Dylan’s 75th B-day last week and there was a celebration in Duluth where he grew up, and the Current, the radio station I listened to was playing his tunes.
And I believe Trish shares the same birth-date as Prince -June 7th (and with Tom Jones).
I took my youngest son with me to see Bob Dylan play Bluesfest in 2011 and it was lucky that we were up the front of the tent, because he made the roadies turn off all the side screens, so if you couldn’t see him with your own eyes you weren’t going to see him at all.
I took a picture from the audience which you can see at the to of this blog-post of mine linked here – https://brizdazz.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/bob-dylan-and-byron-bay.html
Here’s the song….

Thanks, Daz. I didn’t realize you had commented! Sorry it took so long to approve it.
Weird how that stuff happens!
I am always struck when it’s music.
