- There's no black and white, left and right to me anymore; there's only up and down and down is very close to the ground. And I'm trying to go up without thinking about anything trivial such as politics. They has got nothing to do with it. I'm thinking about the general people and when they get hurt.
- Address to the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (13 December 1963)
- a poem is a naked person . . . some people say that I am a poet
- Liner notes, Bringing It All Back Home (1965)
- Reporter: How many people who labor in the same musical vineyard in which you toil - how many are protest singers? That is, people who use their music, and use the songs to protest the, uh, social state in which we live today: the matter of war, the matter of crime, or whatever it might be.
Bob Dylan: Um...how many?
Reporter: Yes. How many?
Bob Dylan: Uh, I think there's about, uh...136.
Reporter: You say about 136, or you mean exactly 136?
Bob Dylan: Uh, it's either 136 or 142.

- Chaos is a friend of mine.
- Newsweek (9 December 1985)
- I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
- Interview published with the Biograph album set (1985)
- The first two lines, which rhymed 'kiddin' you' and 'didn't you,' just about knocked me out, and later on, when I got to the jugglers and the chrome horse and the princess on the steeple, it all just about got to be too much.
- Discussing the song "Like a Rolling Stone" in Rolling Stone magazine (1988)
- People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around — the music and the ideas.
- The Guardian (13 February 1992)
- That ear - I mean, Jesus, he's got to will that to the Smithsonian.
- In reference to Brian Wilson, Newsweek (1997)
- Because Dickens and Dostoevsky and Woody Guthrie were telling their stories much better than I ever could, I decided to stick to my own mind.
- We may not be able to defeat these swine, but we don't have to join them.
- As quoted in Kingdom of Fear (2003) by Hunter S. Thompson
- Sometimes you say things in songs even if there's a small chance of them being true. And sometimes you say things that have nothing to do with the truth of what you want to say and sometimes you say things that everyone knows to be true. Then again, at the same time, you're thinking that the only truth on earth is that there is no truth on it. Whatever you are saying, you're saying in a ricky-tick way. There's never time to reflect. You stitched and pressed and packed and drove, is what you did.
- Chronicles: Vol. One (2004)
- The road out would be treacherous, and I didn't know where it would lead but I followed it anyway. It was a strange world ahead that would unfold, a thunderhead of a world with jagged lightning edges. Many got it wrong and never did get it right. I went straight into it. It was wide open. One thing for sure, not only was it not run by God, but it wasn't run by the devil either.
- Chronicles: Vol. One (2004)
- I put one on the turntable and when the needle dropped, I was stunned — didn't know whether I was stoned or straight.
- Referring to the first Woody Guthrie record he ever heard, on Chronicles (2004)
- Morality has nothing in common with politics.
- Chronicles: Vol. One (2004)
- I had ambitions to set out and find, like an odyssey or going home somewhere… set out to find… this home that I'd left a while back and couldn't remember exactly where it was, but I was on my way there. And encountering what I encountered on the way was how I envisioned it all. I didn't really have any ambition at all. I was born very far from where I'm supposed to be, and so, I'm on my way home, you know?
- No Direction Home (2005)
- You can't be wise and in love at the same time.
- No Direction Home (2005)
- He's a pinboy. He also wears suspenders. He's a real person. You know him, but not by that name... I saw him come into the room one night and he looked like a camel. He proceeded to put his eyes in his pocket. I asked this guy who he was and he said, "That's Mr. Jones." Then I asked this cat, "Doesn't he do anything but put his eyes in his pocket?" And he told me, "He puts his nose on the ground." It's all there, it's a true story.
- When asked about the meaning of the song "Ballad of a Thin Man" during a 1965 interview.
- I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word.
- Said at a press conference, as seen in the Martin Scorsese documentary No Direction Home
- I don't believe you! You're a liar! … Play it fucking loud!

- I read On the Road in maybe 1959. It changed my life like it changed everyone else's.
- On the influence of Jack Kerouac on him, as quoted Grasping for the Wind : The Search for Meaning in the 20th Century (2001) by John W. Whitehead
- Someone handed me Mexico City Blues in St. Paul [Minnesota] in 1959 and it blew my mind. It was the first poetry that spoke my own language.
- On the influence of Jack Kerouac, as quoted in Jack Kerouac (2007) by Alison Behnke, p. 100
- It's not a character like in a book or a movie. He's not a bus driver. He doesn't drive a forklift. He's not a serial killer. It's me who's singing that, plain and simple. We shouldn't confuse singers and performers with actors. Actors will say, "My character this, and my character that." Like beating a dead horse. Who cares about the character? Just get up and act. You don't have to explain it to me.
- . Bob Dylan, interview with Bill Flanagan. telegraph.co.uk (13 Apr 2009).
- It's peculiar and unnerving in a way to see so many young people walking around with cellphones and iPods in their ears and so wrapped up in media and video games. It robs them of their self-identity. It's a shame to see them so tuned out to real life. Of course they are free to do that, as if that's got anything to do with freedom. The cost of liberty is high, and young people should understand that before they start spending their life with all those gadgets.
- Rolling Stone #1078 (14 May 2009), p. 45
Song lyricsEdit
Bob Dylan (1962)Edit
Talking New YorkEdit
- You sound like a hillbilly; We want folk singers here.
- A lot of people don't have much food on their table
But they got a lot of forks and knives
And they gotta cut something
'Song to WoodyEdit
- Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song, 'bout a funny ol' world that's a-comin' along
- Seems sick an' it's hungry, it's tired an' it's torn, it looks like it's a-dyin' an' it's hardly been born.
- Here's to Cisco an' Sonny an' Lead Belly too, an' to all the good people that traveled with you.
- here's to the hearts an' the hands of the men, that come with the dust and are gone with the wind.
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963)Edit
Blowin' in the WindEdit
- How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
- Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
- How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
- Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?
- The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
Girl from the North CountryEdit
- So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Masters of WarEdit
- All the money you made will never buy back your soul.
- You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins.
- There is one thing I know though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would not forgive what you do
- And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
A Hard Rain's a-Gonna FallEdit
- I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it.
- I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken.
- I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world.
- I met a white man who walked a black dog.
- But I'll know my song well before I start singin'.
- It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Don't Think Twice, It's All RightEdit
- I once loved a woman, a child I am told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul.
- I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right.
- Goodbye is too good a word, girl
So I'll just say fare thee well.
Talkin' World War III BluesEdit
- I got into the driver's seat and drove down 42nd Street in my Cadillac.
Good car to drive after a war.
- Half of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time,
But all the people can't be all right all the time.
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.
I said that.
The Times They Are A-Changin' (1964)Edit
The Times They Are A-Changin'Edit
- Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown.
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
- Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's naming.'
For the loser now will be later to win
- Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'.
- Come Congressmen, Senators, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'.
Ballad of Hollis BrownEdit
- You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
Your empty pockets tell yuh
That you ain't a-got no friend
- There's seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There's seven new people born
- If there's anyone who knows, is there anyone who cares?
With God On Our SideEdit
- You never ask questions When God's on your side
- You don't count the dead When God's on your side
- But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side
- The words fill my head, and fall to the floor, that if God's on our side, he'll stop the next war.
Restless FarewellEdit
- But if the arrow is straight, And the point is slick, It can pierce through dust no matter how thick.
Boots of Spanish LeatherEdit
- Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
- Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way,
I'm sure your mind is roamin'.
I'm sure your heart is not with me,
But with the country to where you're goin'.
Another Side of Bob Dylan (1964)Edit
All I Really Want To DoEdit
- All I really want to do is, baby, be friends with you.
- I ain't looking for you to feel like me, see like me, or be like me.
Chimes of FreedomEdit
- Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll,
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing.
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds,
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing.
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight,
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight,
An' for each an' ev'ry underdog soldier in the night,
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
- Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail,
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder,
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder
Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind,
Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind,
An' the poet and the painter far behind his rightful time
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
My Back PagesEdit
- Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
- In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instance that I preached
My existence led by confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow.
Motorpsycho NightmareEdit
- I had to say something to strike him very weird so I yelled out "I like Fidel Castro and his beard."
Ballad In Plain DEdit
- All is gone, all is gone, admit it, take flight.
I gagged twice, doubled, tears blinding my sight.
My mind it was mangled, I ran into the night
Leaving all of love's ashes behind me.
The wind knocks my window, the room it is wet.
The words to say I'm sorry, I haven't found yet.
I think of her often and hope whoever she's met
Will be fully aware of how precious she is.
Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me,
"How good, how good does it feel to be free?"
And I answer them most mysteriously,
"Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?"
It Ain't Me BabeEdit
- Go away from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed,
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're looking for someone,
Who's never weak but always strong,
To protect you and defend you,
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're looking for, babe.
Bringing It All Back Home (1965)Edit
Subterranean Homesick BluesEdit
- Complete lyrics here
- Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trenchcoat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
- You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
- Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
- Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters
- Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
- The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles
She Belongs to MeEdit
- She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back.
- She could take the dark out the nighttime and paint the daytime black.
- You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees, but you will wind up peeking through her keyhole down upon your knees.
Maggie's FarmEdit
- Well, I try my best
To be just like I am
But everybody wants you
To be just like them
- I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
Love Minus Zero/No LimitEdit
- There's no success like failure, and failure's no success at all.
- She knows too much to argue or to judge.
- In the dime stores and bus stations,
People talk of situations,
Read books repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.
Outlaw BluesEdit
- Don't ask me nothin' about nothin'. I just might tell you the truth.
Mr. Tambourine ManEdit
- The ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
- Oh, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free.
- It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
- And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme...
- Take me disappearing, through the smoke rings of my mind, down the foggy ruins of time...
- With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.
- Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me.
In the jingle-jangle morning, I'll come following you.
- Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
Gates of EdenEdit
- All and all can only fall with a crushing but meaningless blow.
- And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden.
- Of war and peace the truth just twist, its curfew gull it glides.
It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)Edit
- Money doesn't talk, it swears.
Obscenity, who really cares? Propaganda all is phony.
- Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool's gold mouthpiece the hollow horn
Plays wasted words, proves to warn
That he not busy being born is busy dying.
- An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
It's only people's games that you got to dodge
- Even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked.
- It is not he or she or them or it that you belong to.
- Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their marks.
Make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark.
It's easy to see without looking too far that not much is really sacred.
- While others say don't hate nothing at all except hatred
- Advertising signs that con you into thinking you are the one
That can do what's never been done,
That can win what's never been won
Meanwhile, life outside goes on all around you
- And if my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine.
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only.
- Although the masters make the rules for the wise men and the fools, I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.
- You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothin' to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice unclear
Startles your sleeping ear to hear
That somebody thinks they really found you.
- Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The hand made blade, the child's balloon,
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying.
- While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society's pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he's in
- But I mean no harm nor put fault
On anyone that lives in a vault
But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him
- It's life and life only.
It's All Over Now, Baby BlueEdit
- Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, crying like a fire in the sun.
- Your lover who just walked out the door, has taken all his blankets from your floor.
- Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
- The vagabond who's rapping at your door,
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Highway 61 Revisited (1965)Edit
Positively 4th StreetEdit
- You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend. When I was down, you just stood there grinning.
- Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact with one that tries to hide what he don't know to begin with.
- I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes. You'd know what a drag it is to see you.
Like a Rolling StoneEdit
- How does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?
- Once upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you.
People call, say beware doll, you're bound to fall, you thought they were all, kiddin you.
- You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
- You never turned around to see the frowns, on the jugglers and the clowns when they all did, tricks for you.
- Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people, they're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
- Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse.
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose.
You're invisible now. You've got no secrets to conceal.
Tombstone BluesEdit
- The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
- Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
You will not die, it's not poison
- The geometry of innocence flesh on the bone
Causes Galileo's math book to get thrown
At Delilah who sits worthlessly alone
But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter
- And the National Bank at a profit sells road maps for the soul
To the old folks home and the college
It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To CryEdit
- And if I don't make it, you know my baby will.
- Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
Ballad of a Thin ManEdit
- And you say, Oh my God, am I here all alone?
- You've been with the professors and they've all liked your looks. With great lawyers you've discussed lepers and crooks.
- You go watch the geek, who immediately walks up to you when he hears you speak, and says, how does it feel to be such a freak?, and you say, impossible as he hands you a bone.
- And something is happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you Mr. Jones?
- Here's your throat back, thanks for the loan.
- You put your eyes in your pockets and your nose on the ground.
- They already expect you to just give a check to tax-deductible charity organization.
Highway 61 RevisitedEdit
- Oh God said to Abraham, Kill me a son.
Abe says, Man, you must be puttin' me on.
God say, No. Abe say, What?
God say, You can do what you want Abe, but
the next time you see me comin' you better run.
Well Abe says, Where do you want this killin' done?
God says, Out on Highway 61.
Just Like Tom Thumb's BluesEdit
- Up on Housing Project Hill, it's either fortune or fame. You must pick one or the other, though neither of them are to be what they claim.
Desolation RowEdit
- Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(About the time the door knob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can't read too good
Don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row
- Now at midnight all the agents, and the superhuman crew, come out and round up everyone, that knows more then they do.
- And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot fighting in the captain's tower while calypso singers laugh at them and fishermen hold flowers...
Blonde on Blonde (1966)Edit
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35Edit
- But I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned!
- They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck"
Pledging My TimeEdit
- Somebody got lucky, but it was an accident.
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues AgainEdit
- Oh Mama, can this really be the end? To be stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again?
- And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice.
- The one was Texas medicine. the other was just railroad gin. And, like a fool, I mixed them and it strangled up my mind and now people just get uglier and I have no sense of time.
- Your debutante knows what you need, but I know what you want.
- You see, you're just like me. I hope you're satisfied.
Visions of JohannaEdit
- Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet.
- We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it.
- And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it.
- He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
- Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial.
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But, Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues
you can tell by the way she smiles
- The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face.
- Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him.
- Louise she's all right she's just near'
She's delicate and seems like veneer'
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear'
That Johanna's not here
- But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel.
One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later)Edit
- I couldn't see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
- I couldn't see when it started snowin'
Your voice was all that I heard
I Want YouEdit
- She is good to me
There's nothing she doesn't see
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter...
I want you
Just Like A WomanEdit
- Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
- She takes just like a woman, yes she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
Absolutely Sweet MarieEdit
- But to live outside the law, you must be honest.
Sad-Eyed Lady of the LowlandsEdit
- Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Should I leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
- With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
Nashville Skyline (1969)Edit
I Threw It All AwayEdit
- I once held her in my arms,
She said she would always stay,
But I was cruel, I treated her like a fool,
I threw it all away.
I threw it all away.
Lay Lady LayEdit
- Lay, lady, lay. Lay across my big, brass bed.
- Whatever colors you have in your mind. I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine.
- His clothes are dirty, but his hands are clean, and you're the best thing that he's ever seen.
- You can have your cake and eat it, too.
- Stay, lady, stay. Stay while the night is still ahead.
Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With YouEdit
- Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there too,
Throw my troubles out the door, I don't need them anymore,
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Self Portrait (1970)Edit
Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)Edit
- Ev'rybody's in despair,
Ev'ry girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna jump for joy.
- Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
- I like to do just like the rest,
I like my sugar sweet, but guarding fumes and making haste,
it ain't my cup of meat.
- A cat's meow and a cow's moo,
I can recite 'em all,
just tell me where it hurts you, honey,
and I'll tell you who to call.
Planet Waves (1974)Edit
Forever YoungEdit
- May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung. May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young.
- May your hands always be busy. May your feet always be swift. May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung. May you stay forever young.
- I paid the price of solitude but at least I'm out of debt.
- I hate myself for loving you.
Blood on the Tracks (1975)Edit
Tangled Up In BlueEdit
- Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
I was layin' in bed
Wond'rin'if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red.
- Tangled up in blue...
- Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through...
- I helped her out of a jam, I guess, but I used a little too much force...
- And every one of them words rang true and glowed like burnin' coal. Pourin' off of every page, like it was written in my soul from me to you...
- The only thing I knew how to do was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew...
- All the people we used to know, they're an illusion to me now...
- Don't know how it all got started, I don't know what they do with their lives...

- I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver
And I'm reading James Joyce

Quotes about DylanEdit
- What I wanted to do with Bobby was just to get him to sound in the studio as natural, just as he was in person, and have that extraordinary personality come thru. … After all, he's not a great harmonica player, and he's not a great guitar player, and he's not a great singer. He just happens to be an original. And I just wanted to have that originality come thru.
- John Hammond (Dylan's first producer), Pop Chronicles, [Show 31 - Ballad in Plain D: An introduction to the Bob Dylan era. Part 1, interview recorded 10.4.1968.
- Bob Dylan took a lot of air out of the room when it came to songwriters. Everybody had a tough row to hoe distinguishing themselves once Bob invented our job.
- Dylan is free now to work on his own terms. It would be foolish to predict what he will do next. But hopefully he will remain a mediator, using the language of pop to transcend it. If the gap between past and present continues to widen, such mediation may be crucial. In a communications crisis, the true prophets are the translators.
- Ellen Willis, in "Dylan" in Representative Men : Cult Heroes of Our Time (1970) edited by Theodore L. Gross
- The minute you try to grab hold of Dylan, he's no longer where he was. He's like a flame: If you try to hold him in your hand you'll surely get burned. Dylan's life of change and constant disappearances and constant transformations makes you yearn to hold him, and to nail him down. And that's why his fan base is so obsessive, so desirous of finding the truth and the absolutes and the answers to him — things that Dylan will never provide and will only frustrate. … Dylan is difficult and mysterious and evasive and frustrating, and it only makes you identify with him all the more as he skirts identity.
- Todd Haynes, about his choice of 6 people to portray Dylan in his film I'm Not There, in "Footnote fetishism & "I'm Not There" by Jim Emerson" at The Sun-Times (9 October 2007)
- "The stage is the only place where I'm happy." But this has its own sadnesses, like so much love. He is the one person who has to be at a Dylan concert and the one person who can't go to a Dylan concert.
- Christopher Ricks, Dylan's Visions of Sin (2003), concluding words, p. 490

Spartanburg, S.C. - A controversial call in the bottom of the fourth inning proved to be the difference in the game as top-seeded FGCU (36-22) defeated the sixth-seeded Stetson softball team (26-21) 3-0 in the winner's bracket final of the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships. The Hatters will play the winner of Kennesaw State/Lipscomb at 5:30 pm in the loser's bracket final, needing a victory to keep the season alive and advance to a re-match with FGCU.
With the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the fourth, FGCU right fielder Mariah Fernandez sent a fly ball into left center field where Stetson sophomore center fielder Chrissy Morello (Ormond Beach, Fla.) made a diving catch. However, as she raised her glove to prove the catch the ball slipped from her glove and the out was disallowed. All three runners scored as Fernandez ended up on second base with a double.
A-Sun Pitcher of the Year Shelby Morgan made that break stand up for the Eagles, tossing a four-hit shutout. For the Hatters, sophomore pitcher Meredith Owen (Jackson, Miss.) and senior first baseman Carolyn Boyd (Germantown, Tenn.) had two hits apiece for all the team's offense.
Owen was tagged with a tough loss for five inning of six-hit ball with four walks and two strikeouts. She entered in relief with two on and nobody out in the bottom of the second and kept FGCU from scoring in that inning or the next one.
Live Stats for Stetson's evening game will be available at GoHatters.com; free video is available at ASun.TV.

It ain't easy being Justified's Boyd Crowder. But creating the character? That's a heckuva good time, both for actor Walton Goggins and exec producer Graham Yost. "He's changed a lot over the seasons," Goggins tells TV Guide Magazine. "That's been so rewarding for me as an actor. And he's got a lot more changes to go."
Goggins and Yost discuss Boyd's arc, as well as what makes the clogging, molasses-mouthed criminal a fan favorite - going back to the pilot when Yost and the writers resurrected the originally fatally shot Boyd after seeing a test audience's reaction to the character - in the Season 4 Blu-ray featurette, "Becoming Boyd." Check out this exclusive clip, which features star Timothy Olyphant, whose hiatus beard and hair are something to behold, chiming in to sing Goggins' praises:
DVD and Blu-ray sets of Justified Season 4 hit shelves Tuesday, Dec. 17, just in time to catch up before the Season 5 premiere Tuesday, Jan. 7 on FX (10/9c).

text: I tried to find a similar thread, so if anyone does feel free to merge/move this but found an interesting article today that I completely agree with. It ranks Howie as the 6th best goalie. I considered him a top 10 goalie in the NHL and I agree with the 5 they placed in front of him. Where would you put Howard?

Take 30: Mila Kunis beautiful, talented and genuine
It used to be when Sean Penn or some other Grumpy Gus was nominated for an Oscar, I would put their wretched dispositions out of mind and think only of their talent. Personal qualities, or lack thereof, didn't matter.
But now I root for the nice people, of which there seem to be an abundance these days.
Jennifer Lawrence, the 22-year-old sweetheart who just won the Academy Award for best actress, is a good example. When she tripped on the steps on her way to claim her Oscar, she laughed at herself.
Afterward, she joked with reporters and the other people backstage in a completely natural way.
Sometimes modern social media plays a role in revealing the qualities of certain celebrities. Ryan Gosling became an Internet sensation a couple of summers ago after he intervened on a busy New York City street as two men fought over a painting.
A young woman was taking a video of the fight when Gosling, carrying a bag of groceries to his apartment, stepped in, flung his groceries to the ground, and stopped the fight.
At first, nobody knew who he was -- least of all the woman who was filming the action. But everyone soon recognized Gosling, who was dressed in a tank top on the hot afternoon. Using his strength to hold the guys apart, he made the peace.
The video, which can still be seen online (Google Ryan Gosling breaks up a fight), has been viewed by millions.
Another video that's gone viral in the last couple of weeks features actress Mila Kunis putting a nervous young British interviewer at ease. She was in London, promoting her current movie, "Oz the Great and Powerful," in which she plays one of the witches.
Kunis, who became a star in 1998 after joining the cast of "That '70s Show," solidified her reputation as a nice person in my eyes in November 2011 when she agreed to accompany Sgt. Scott Moore to a U.S. Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, N.C.
Not only did she say yes to Moore's invitation -- after a bit of goading by Justin Timberlake, her "Friends with Benefits" co-star, during a promotional tour for the film -- she was a good sport at the ball. Pleasant and engaging, she stayed for several hours, dancing with Marines, posing for pictures and signing autographs.
I've been a Kunis fan from the moment I read how she joined the cast of "That '70s Show." The producer wanted an actress who was at least 18 years old, and when he asked Kunis if she was 18, she replied, "I will be."
Never mind that she was only 14 at the time. "I didn't say when I would turn 18," she said with a smile.
Kunis, 29, whose real name is Milena Markovna Kunis, moved to Los Angeles with her family from Ukraine when she was 7. She didn't speak a word of English, but within two years had launched her acting career. At 10, she was starring in TV commercials, and within a year was appearing on soap operas.
At 15, she took over as the voice of Meg on Seth MacFarlane's "Family Guy," a role she still does, even though she's become a big star. It helped her land the part of Mark Wahlberg's girlfriend in "Ted," MacFarlane's megahit of a year ago.
Kunis is a rare beauty who has one green eye and one brown eye. She also has one of the best, most natural laughs you'll ever hear. It's as good as Cameron Diaz's, which is saying something.
With genuinely likable celebrities like Mila Kunis, who needs to waste any time on the Lindsay Lohans of the world?

TENNERTON - For the first time since being state runner-up in 1995, the Buckhannon-Upshur girls soccer team is heading back to the state tournament after defeating Washington 3-2 Thursday night.
"I really wanted it for this group of seniors," Buckhannon-Upshur coach Tom Hasbrouck said. "They have accomplished a lot over their careers, but had never taken this step. I'm very proud of this team, and I felt we played very well tonight against a very strong team."
Washington delivered the first blow in the contest when speedster Devyn Hosby scored on a through ball from Kayleigh Pierce just eight minutes into the contest.

Buckhannon-Upshur's Lindsey Beets battles Washington's Sophia Bouchoc during Class AAA, Region II championship action in Tennerton. The Lady Bucs advanced to the state tournament with a 3-2 victory.
B-U answered at the 24th minute when Emily Godwin scored off a short pass from Hannah Stankus.
Stankus put the Lady Bucs up 2-1 seven minutes later, finishing off a combination from Brooklyn Waddell. Stankus stole the ball and after it was lost into a sea of defenders in the box, Waddell toe-poked it free to the opportunistic Stankus.
With the score still standing at 2-1 early in the second half, Washington's Erin Buchanan provided the equalizer at the 51st minute, finding the net with a short tally off a Washington free kick.
For over 12 minutes, the game remained tied, setting the stage for the game-winner.
Brooklyn Waddell delivered the historic goal, drilling home a rocket off the post as she finished off an effective cross from freshman Taylor Starkey. Obtaining a 3-2 lead, B-U held off the Lady Patriots down the stretch for the Class AAA, Region II title.
For Hasbrouck, it will be his sixth trip the state tournament. The coach had a seventh group in 1987 that went undefeated, but the first official tourney wasn't until 1988. He took the Buckhannon-Upshur boys team to the semifinals in 1988 and 1992, before winning three consecutive state titles in 1993, 1994 and 1995.
"That seems like a lifetime ago," Hasbrouck conceded. "It's just as exciting with the girls. A lot different, but absolutely just as exciting."
Buckhannon-Upshur put on the bulk of the pressure throughout the evening, outshooting the Lady Patriots 10-7 in the contest.
The Lady Bucs earned 10 of the evening's corner kicks. B-U goalkeeper Kelsey Hinzman collected five saves, while Washington goalie Kylie Nelson had seven.
Buckhannon-Upshur improves to 22-1 on the season. The senior class has now accumulated 73 wins over their four seasons of wearing the Blue and White.
The Lady Bucs play next Friday at 10 a.m. in the first Class AAA semifinal in Beckley.

July 21, 2005
The writers and producers of "The Aviator," "ER," "Monk" and "Scrubs" were honored for their positive portrayals of people with mental health problems at the Voice Awards last night. In addition, actors Brooke Shields and Maurice Benard and Spanish language television network Univision were honored by the federal government for their activities on behalf of mental health awareness, and writer/producer Neal Baer received a special Career Achievement Award at the gala awards ceremony hosted by Mariette Hartley and Kathleen Sullivan.
Sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Voice Awards recognized film, TV and radio writers and producers who have created positive, accurate and dignified portrayals of people with mental health problems. The event was held at the Skirball Cultural Center's Ahmanson Ballroom in Los Angeles California.
Writers and producers from more than 50 productions were nominated for Voice Awards. From this group, writers and producers of the following productions were named as Voice Award winners: "The Aviator," "ER," "Huff," "Larry King Live," "Monk," "People Say I'm Crazy," "Scrubs," "Stateside," "Strong Medicine," and "There's No Such Thing As Crazy."
Neal Baer, executive producer of "Law & Order: SVU" and former executive producer of "ER," was also presented with a special award for his work in bringing mental health issues into the mainstream. Baer co-created the character of Maggie Lockhart (Sally Field), a woman who faces and ultimately recovers from schizophrenia, on NBC's "ER", and as executive producer of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" has created several characters with mental health problems.
Shields recently wrote a book about her experiences with postpartum depression. Emmy Award winner Benard, who has bipolar disorder, is best known for his portrayal of Sonny Corinthos on "General Hospital". Univision devoted extensive coverage to mental health awareness through its "Salud es Vida.¡Entérate!" (Health Is Life.Inform Yourself!) initiative. Sullivan and Hartley, both of whom were diagnosed with bipolar disorder, are outspoken advocates for mental health awareness. Sullivan is also a member of SAMHSA's National Advisory Council.
SAMHSA Administrator Charles G. Curie and SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services Director A. Kathryn Power participated in the event.
"The entertainment industry is a powerful vehicle for helping shape public opinion," said Curie. "Positive portrayals show the nation that people with mental health problems do live, learn, work and fully participate in the American community."
In addition to the entertainment awards, the Voice Awards recognized mental health advocates across the country for their efforts to expand public understanding that mental health problems exist in every community and affect almost every family in the United States.
"Stigma is one of the major barriers to mental health care in America," said Power. "The Voice Awards also recognize the people who are working to counter stigma and ensure that help is available to those in need of care."
Entertainment professionals who created original television, film and radio productions with an initial public release between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2004 were eligible for nomination. Their productions were reviewed by a panel of judges that included mental health advocates and professionals, as well as representatives from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the communications and entertainment fields, and people who have personally experienced mental illnesses.
Program partners of the Voice Awards include: the American Psychiatric Foundation, the American Psychological Association, the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors and the Mental Health Media Partnership
The Voice Awards are part of SAMHSA's Elimination of Barriers Initiative (EBI), a collaborative pilot effort between SAMHSA and eight state mental health authorities in California, Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. The state EBI initiatives work in partnership with mental health consumers, family members, advocates, providers, and a range of national and state mental health organizations. For more information about the Voice Awards or the EBI visit http://www.allmentalhealth.samhsa.gov/voiceawards.

There's just something about a nice big pick-up right?
The view of the road, the street presence, the feeling you get sitting behind the wheel. Yeah, I know — in this day of hybrids and fuel economy it's become sort of taboo to talk about trucks unless you're towing or hauling something.
Even with the advances in engine technology that allows for better gas mileage, the idea of "big trucks" and "going green" will probably never jell. Still, even though you might not have a need for one, most can still appreciate a truck when behind the wheel or as a passenger. There's just a feeling you get when in one that you never get in a small car or even a crossover.
Sure, depending on your ideas about "going green," you might deny it publicly. But a nice big truck can be very appealing. It's an appeal that Dodge has gone to great lengths to build on with the new 2010 Ram Heavy Duty with everything from the truck's styling to its performance capabilities, which is why it's pulled in so many awards including Motor Trend magazine's coveted Truck of the Year honors this year.
The new Ram Heavy Duty features many of the same exterior styling cues as the new Ram, which was redesigned in 2008. But to accommodate cooling requirements for the available 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel engine available, the new 2010 Ram Heavy Duty grille opening is larger than the light-duty grille.
You know that big rig look of the Ram, which has always been one of the truck's draws in rural areas as well as the city? Well, with the Ram's more aggressive styling cues, that look's a whole lot bigger on the Heavy Duty.
Available in a regular cab, crew cab or mega cab, the truck can be pretty intimidating on the road. Love the look of the dually on the 3500.
One of the most impressive features of the 2010 Ram Heavy Duty, however, is the truck's all-new refined interior, which you quickly come to appreciate as a driver or passenger the minute you settle in for the ride.
Interior appointments include soft-feel door bolsters and armrests and one-piece molded door panels. Seats now have improved power lumbar and lateral support. Other available features include two-tone upholstery with full-width contrasting stitching on the instrument panel; premium seating with heat and ventilation; heated rear seats, heated steering wheel; automatic temperature control; two-tone upholstery; memory seats, radio and mirrors; and navigation.
It also features adjustable pedals and numerous infotainment options including Sirius TV for the backseat, Uconnect Multimedia with a 30-gigabyte hard drive and an available first-in-segment 10-speaker surround-sound system.
Right, sounds like the type of features you'd expect in a luxury sedan more so than a truck.

Two deaths in the past week brought back some memories.
One you probably read about. The other, probably not.
Pascqual Perez was a pitcher for a number of teams, but his best years were with the Atlanta Braves in the 1980s. He made the All-Star team for them in 1983.
Perez was murdered in the Dominican Republic earlier this week, a tragic end for a man whose promising career was hindered by drug issues.
Brad Armstrong was a pro wrestler who performed for a number of prominent promotions, including the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling, which aired on TBS.
Armstrong was a tremendous performer, the son of legendary grappler "Bullet" Bob Armstrong. Brad died earlier this week at the age of 51.
These two men probably never met, but they were linked by the fact that their performances often aired on Ted Turner's TBS, which took regional names and exposed them to a national audience.
On Saturday, when I was flipping through the channels looking for a college football game, I came across an airing of "The King of Queens."
TBS sure has changed.
Now, the network is like any other national network. It has its own sitcoms. It has baseball championship series. It has Conan O'Brien.
But when I was growing up in the 1980s and '90s, TBS - the Turner Broadcasting Network (Ted was/is, modest, no?) - was known for three things.
* Atlanta Braves baseball.
* Professional wrestling.
* "Andy Griffith" re-runs.
I never watched much "Andy Griffith." But I would watch any baseball game growing up, and ended up becoming familiar with the Braves. In the pre-Greg Maddux, John Glavine years, the Braves were a bad team that were only on nationally because their billionaire owner needed programming for his network.
And until the mid-'80s, a big part of the Braves was the pitching of Perez. He spent four seasons in Atlanta, winning 29 games between 1984 and '85. I'll confess that most of my knowledge about Perez at the time was sketchy because I was so young, but he stood out because of his quirky pitching delivery.
If the Braves weren't on, it was likely wrestling was. I still remember Armstrong having matches with Flyin' Brian Pillman, the former Cincinnati Bengal. Both were young, and it seemed they had long careers, and lives, ahead of them.
When I think about those days, the voice of Skip Caray on baseball games, Perez pitching, Armstrong wrestling, it seems like forever ago.
And that's when it hits you: It wasn't.
And that's what's so sad (especially in Perez's case, given the circumstances). When I think of growing up, watching the Braves and watching wrestling, it was a different world.
Southern wrestling, on the national level, is gone. The Braves are no longer broadcast on TBS. Armstrong, Perez, Caray, even Pillman are all dead. All died young.
James Taylor had a song on his 1988 album "Never Die Young" called "Letter in the Mail," which had lyrics about the way things used to be. One of the verses has the character driving alone, as he's able to "pay my last respects to a time that has all but gone."
In some ways, that's what I'm trying to do here. I'm sure TBS is more profitable now than it was 30 years ago, but I often long for the days when it had a personality that wasn't defined by Tyler Perry shows or any attempt to be hip.
Ted Turner's network may not have been hip, but it felt real (pro wrestling's authenticity notwithstanding).
Perez and Armstrong's deaths are sad for so many reasons.
But I am glad they were part of something I really enjoyed, and I thank them for that.

BALTIMORE, MD (July 17, 2008) A decline in the number of jobseekers over-the-month
helped to maintain Marylands seasonally adjusted unemployment rate at 4.0 percent for
the second consecutive month according to estimates released by the Maryland Department
of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. The share of unemployed Marylanders searching for
employment remained considerably below that of the nation, which was reported at 5.5
percent in June.
While the waning strength of the national economy has contributed to a tightening
in statewide labor market conditions, Marylands economy continues to tread water.
Nationally, private sector payrolls declined by 91,000 in June, extending year-to-date
losses to 485,000 jobs. In Maryland, private sector employment, while declining by 500
jobs in June to a level of 2,148,400, remains 3,300 above the job total reported in
January. At the detailed industry level, a number of business sectors -- construction,
information, finance and insurance, healthcare and real estate -- reported higher job
totals in June.
By historical standards, however, job creation is lagging considerably, limiting the
number of available opportunities and creating increased competition among jobseekers.
Recently passed legislation to extend unemployment benefits will provide additional
support to jobseekers during the current economic slowdown.
At the local level, the influx of summer jobseekers into the labor market pushed
non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rates higher in all but Cecil County where the
rate held steady at 4.8 percent and, in Worcester County, where unemployment tumbled
from 5.2 percent to 4.5 percent as local jobseekers took advantage of job creation
resulting from the upturn in tourism activities. Baltimore Citys rate, rising by
0.7 percentage points, was the highest in June at 6.6 percent while jobless lows
of 3.2 percent and 3.3 percent were reported in Howard and Montgomery counties, respectively.

The Stetson volleyball team fell to Wofford and Hampton by identical 3-1 scores Saturday on the final day of the 2012 Stetson Clarion Classic at the Edmunds Center. Hatter senior Monique Russell and junior Kaley Melville were selected to the all-tournament team.
Central Arkansas went a perfect 4-0 on the weekend to claim the tournament title.
In Stetson's match against Hampton, the Lady Pirates (4-5) grabbed an early 2-0 lead, winning each of the first two sets by the same 25-23 count. In the second set, the Hatters (1-7) had trailed 15-8 but fought back to tie the game at 20 and again at 23.
After a third set that went the Hatters way 25-17, Stetson once again found itself down big in set four 17-9. But a 9-1 run that featured three kills from freshman Cailyn Prewitt tied the game 18-18. Hampton responded with a 4-0 run of its own, and despite one more pushback from Stetson, the Lady Pirates held on for the 25-22 victory.
"We are playing some good teams, but we absolutely have to fix some things," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "We had the same challenges today that we faced yesterday, and while we did a little better job of following the game plan, we still had critical breakdowns at important times. Our opponents are going through the same learning process, and I was hoping we would be ahead of schedule, but we have got to do it at a faster rate."
Melville finished the match with 16 kills, bringing her tournament total to 44. Russell picked up 16 digs after collecting 27 digs earlier in the day against Wofford.
"I am proud of Kaley Melville and Monique Russell, they gave a great effort the entire weekend," Loesch said. "They had some help at times, but not consistent enough."
Prewitt finished the Hampton match with 11 kills, and Kelli Carneal approached a triple double with seven kills, 21 assists, and 12 digs.
In the Wofford match, Stetson took the first set 25-23, but dropped the next three 25-23, 25-15, 25-15.
Prewitt led the Hatters with 13 kills, while Ellen Hawks added 10 kills and three blocks. Russell topped the 25-dig mark for the second time this season, and Melville picked up 18 digs. Freshman Kayla Weller added 17 assists and nine digs.
"The girls are as disappointed as I am, but this is competitive collegiate athletics, and they have got to learn what it takes to be on the winning end of these close matches," Loesch said. "It's good that we have a match coming up on Tuesday so we can get back on track."
Stetson will host Volusia County rival Bethune-Cookman at 7 p.m. Tuesday night at the Edmunds Center.

The Next Generation of Personal Shoppers
Personal shoppers are no longer just a privilege enjoyed by ladies with envy-inducing retail budgets. A picky customer puts four services to the test
A STAR EMERGES in "Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's," the new documentary about venerable New York department store Bergdorf Goodman: sardonic, silver-haired personal shopper Betty Halbreich. "I can get into a person's head just as quickly as I can size up their body," Ms. Halbreich said recently from her headquarters on the store's third floor. "This is like a medical office in here."
Ms. Halbreich's witty on-screen presence will put her cohort of personal shoppers in the pop cultural spotlight, as will the coming re-release of her 1997 book, "Secrets of a Fashion Therapist," and a new memoir to be published in the fall (which has been optioned by "Girls" creator Lena Dunham for a potential show on HBO).
Meanwhile, the service of personal shopping—selecting clothing for customers to purchase, often throwing in advice on how to manage existing wardrobes—is moving beyond high-end department stores. More accessible brands like J.Crew offer complimentary personal shoppers, while independent personal shopping companies like Style for Hire and Trunk Club have recently cropped up. A handy iPhone app, PS Dept., is adding mobile convenience to the mix. Even Rachel Zoe, the stylist known for dressing Anne Hathaway and other actresses, quietly began RZPS, offering a similar service to the public, albeit with A-list fees.
Being a picky customer with limited spending power, I never considered myself a candidate for a personal shopper. But when I picked up "Secrets of a Fashion Therapist," I recognized a few symptoms that might make me an ideal patient. Ms. Halbreich even diagnosed us "work-at-home types" as serial outfit repeaters. She had me.
So I decided to take a look at the current landscape of personal shoppers. Thanks to these experts, I discovered new stores, pulled the trigger on some key clothing items and gained a fresh perspective on my existing wardrobe.
Bergdorf Goodman
Although I am not on a lavish Bergdorf budget, a fashionable friend recommended I visit Domenica Paradisi, a personal shopper on 5F, where the store's more modestly priced collections are sold. (Ms. Halbreich shares a floor with luxury labels like Céline and Prada.) Ms. Paradisi, who has been at Bergdorf Goodman for 17 years, is a personal shopper in the traditional sense: She pulls complete outfits for individual client appointments that take place in a salon-style dressing room. She also keeps a rolling rack (which my friend described as "her secret sauce") constantly stocked with handpicked favorites for clients who happen to drop by.
Although Ms. Paradisi often pulls from high-end designer departments, she is amenable to finding less expensive alternatives. When I was there, she had set aside reasonably priced items for another client, a 30-something Los Angeles-based editor: a Current/Elliott denim vest, an A.L.C. maxi skirt and a cross-body bag from 10 Crosby Derek Lam. Ms. Paradisi was satisfied with the bohemian assortment. "This was me," she said. "Back in the day."
J.Crew offers a complimentary "Very Personal Stylist" for men and women at all its stores. I volunteered my boyfriend, Ryan, as a guinea pig. His J.Crew shopper, Sandro Ortega, emailed a few days before the Sunday appointment, asking for his size and style. Ryan replied that he was "casual/stylish," and looking for clothes for the office and the weekend.
Ryan, who works for a website and generally wears suits only to weddings, arrived to find stacks of handsome patterned shirts with coordinating ties in his dressing room. "Casual/stylish," is, of course, subject to interpretation.
Still, Ryan dove into the dress shirts. He exited the dressing room in a striped number and pronounced it too small. Mr. Ortega ventured that the shirt was a slim style, and Ryan warmed to the tidy fit as he pulled on a pair of sky blue chinos. He loved the pants' cheerful color, but opted for the same pair in navy, which Mr. Ortega had also chosen in advance.
"I don't own six or seven pairs of pants. I own three," Ryan said when I lamented leaving the brighter blue behind. "I want something to fit solidly into the rotation." After two hours, Ryan left with several items, including the slim shirt—which he has worn repeatedly since—and a better sense of his own style. I might have learned from his restraint. At my own appointment I succumbed to a sense of urgency, thanks to a swelling Sunday afternoon crowd and a promotional 30% discount for opening a J.Crew card. I went overboard, and, days later, sheepishly returned several purchases.
Style for Hire
"Before you even think about going shopping, you should think about what it is you're shopping for," wrote Ms. Halbreich in "Secrets of a Fashion Therapist." For help choosing pieces that would complement what was already in my closet, I enlisted Style for Hire ( styleforhire.com ), a nationwide network of stylists, trained and certified by the company. After entering my zip code on the website, I scrolled through stylists' profiles and landed on Stefany Mohebban. I liked the eclectic style in her photos, and noted her background in textile design and psychology—probably a helpful combination in her field.
During a free consultation at my apartment, I told Ms. Mohebban that I attend evening events as a night-life reporter, but otherwise work from home. As she peeked into my stuffed closet, I confessed to a daytime uniform of oversize jeans and a T-shirt. "I'm in a rut," I said. We agreed to a two-hour "Closet Audit" the next weekend, for $200.
Following Ms. Mohebban's advice, I pulled out clothing I had yet to embrace. First up: a pair of black-and-white striped pajama-style pants. I wasn't sure how to wear them and worried they were unflattering. I put them on while Ms. Mohebban unearthed a pair of espadrille wedges from my closet. I stepped into the sandals and watched the pants' vertical stripes—and my legs—elongate.
"Do you have a chambray shirt?" she asked. I did not. This was the first item on the shopping list she made for me. It would later include a pair of metallic heels, an army jacket and red jeans.
After our appointment, I had piles for donations and alterations, and new ideas about my old clothes. "Wear things you love all the time," said Ms. Mohebban. "Don't save your clothes for special occasions." A scarlet shift I hadn't worn since a birthday dinner last spring paired easily with huarache sandals. I couldn't wait to add my new army jacket.
Two days later, Ms. Mohebban emailed me a list with links to options at varying prices. I could have booked her for a two-hour shopping appointment, but she left me with enough to get started on my own.
PS Dept.
Former Marc Jacobs merchandiser Michelle Goad founded PS Dept.—an iPhone app that connects users to personal shoppers at boutiques and department stores—to help busy, selective customers find exactly what they want. What I wanted was jeans. I've searched in vain for the perfect pair of flattering, slim, dark jeans that meet my demands: no decorative stitching, artificial fading or calf-hugging allowed.
I downloaded the app and found personal shoppers (store associates trained to use PS Dept.) at a nearby Barneys and Rag & Bone. Scrolling through PS Dept.'s "Window Shop" gallery of favorite pieces, I also discovered Los Angeles boutique Satine. I added it to my list and sent a single message to all the shoppers, describing my perfect jeans.
The most promising response—photos of three pairs of jeans with short descriptions—came from Fern Boonyanit, an associate at Satine. (Curious as to whether I could have achieved the same result online, I searched the store's website and found no denim.)
Since the store is in California and I live in New York, Mr. Boonyanit offered to ship those jeans, along with a few additional pairs he'd pull based on my comments, "on approval," meaning he'd only charge me once I decided which ones to keep. Through the app, I'd found an accommodating personal shopper at a store I wouldn't have otherwise tried. What's more, I now own my ideal jeans.
