DYLAN AT THE PHILOSPHER´S  STONE

"THE great book of 2022....utterly extraordinary....not only one of the great books of the year, but of the past decade...It is unexpected in every way...a magnificent book of music criticism disguised as a memoir and a set of off-the-cuff fantasies and confidences...That's its genius. It is not framed as a work of music criticism; it is a lifelong performer's attempt to get deeply into a pop song panorama and a lifelong consumer of other singers' takes as a member of their audiences. He is talking to the reader in a way that is unique and immediate and familiar to us. He is saying things that are fresh--even wild and radical--on every other page of the book...The book has gobsmacked me...In these pieces of unique music criticism, he's doing something with his voice few of us ever imagined he would do...If the Swedes want to go ahead and give him still another Nobel Prize for Literature, I for one, will applaud vigorously. Let any possible objector read this book first."

CARLY PEARCE

I will tell you that the Live album is coming out, [current No. 1 single] “What He Didn’t Do” is near the end of its life, so you’re going to get music sooner than you think. I think that a lot of people are going to assume that because I’m not going through a divorce and I’m quite happy that I’m going to be coming out with some fluffy love song, but that’s not what Carly Pearce does, so stay tuned. It’s literally the most proud I’ve ever been of a track. I’m really excited, I think it’s going to be unexpected in several different ways.

BRILLIANT BALLET BRINGS BLISS

As a distraction from all that we talked all the way home of the ´bendiness´ of the ballet dancers, the lightness of the leaps and how the lithe dancing of the adult members suddenly became delightful carefree skipping of the young dancers.

CONFERENCIA: Charla Desnudando las palabras:- Spanish Language Version

Solo quiero añadir que desde mi punto de vista la poesía nace desde la realidad, de la vida misma, a ras de suelo. Porque la vida misma, es toda poesía. Como diría el poeta y cantor Horacio Guarany: “si se calla el cantor (el o la poeta), calla la vida, porque la vida misma es toda un canto….”
