As we’re at the end of the month, I thought I would have a quick look at my website stats to see how people arrived here during September.
This month sixteen different search engines brought visitors this way.
350 hits via Google.
90 hits via Yahoo.
30 hits via Ask Jeeves.
What were people searching for? A sample:

Above is a t-shirt I saw in Amsterdam a few years ago. It contains the lyrics to Bob Dylan’s Masters Of War.
Bob Dylan is everywhere at the moment. Bob Dylan albums are on offer in Sainsbury’s (go pick up Bringing It All Back Home for £3.99). Trailers are frequently shown on BBC for Martin Scorsese two-part Arena film (the highlight of the BBC’s Bob Dylan season) - tune in on 26th and 27th September. The soundtrack to this has been released as The Bootleg Series Volume 7 - a great collection of rarities and alternative versions of songs from Bob’s early career.
In November Bob pops over to the UK to perform some concerts. I have tickets to all five of the London shows. Can’t wait.
(But you won’t find any Bob Dylan CDs in HMV stores in Canada.)
