    Has His Highness, King Zimmerman died?

    Why wasn't I informed?

    Well, Dylan is reputed to have said it of Smokey Robinson, but .....

    a) You can hardly nominate yourself

    b) Just because someone says it doesn't make it true

    c) Dylan doesn't always mean what he says (winky, smiley thing)

    d) Many other 'notable' figures have described others as 'America's greatest living poet'

    Dylan is undoubtedly the King. I said that.

    Classic floorfiller, Henry.

    And don't be shocked

    Did anyone ever go to 'Phil's Go Go Snack Bar' in Spray Street Woolwich. A sign was uncovered there in the late 80's (obviousy from a far earlier time) over a small shop but no one I have met has ever heard of the Go Go snack bar.
