the lonesome death of hattie carroll - bob dylan cover - christoph holzhöfer

[jordatron]

you seriously think 6 months was not unjust? put it this way, say i walked up to you're mother assaulted her and invoked in her an extreme state of fear to the point where she suffered a heart attack or stroke and she subsequently died. would you be happy if all i served was six months? i doubt it. come on son be smart.

Wiki the story and you will learn that although Zantzinger struck Hattie Carrol on the shoulder with his cane, that the blow was not the cause of her death. Zantzinger's behavior may have deeply upset her, but Hattie Carrol was not beaten to death by a cane. She died of a stroke. Zantzinger got a manslaughter charge and served a six month sentence, which he deserved for assaulting people. But the truth is that his six month sentence was not unjust as Dylan claims.

Say, I want to tell you this is fun for me, to write to people around the world. Back in the l980's, I did not have a computer, but had a shortwave radio, and I could pick up German broadcasts on it, but could not talk back. I even heard German political debates and such, and I could understand just enough to know they were trying to get the country reunified. So

I think I knew that before most Americans did. I'm really glad you got reunified. I am sorry that US and Germany were at war.

Hi, German boy. Thanks for the poem, and greetings from Berlin. I send greetings from Virginia, the United States. I can understand your poem, a nice spring poem by Eduard Morike. He was a really good poet. What is your name? My name is Lilli Buck. How is the weather there now in Germany? We have been having lots of storms and tornadoes in the US. So it's pretty bad. I think God doesn't like us much--too many warmongers and false Christians here, I think.

Hello again, German boy! I'm here again. Ich bin hier noch wieder. Ich habe dieses

Gesang gern! Ja! Ich bin Amerikanerin, aber ich habe in der Universitat deutsch studiert!

I love this song. I also like German literature, poets like Eduard Morike and Ludwig Uhland. I love to translate German poetry, and I write my own poetry, too.

Bless her heart, poor Hattie Carroll. She looks all dressed up for church, with her

pillbox hat on like Jackie Kennedy used to wear.

@astrolog7000 hello! thanks for your comment some weeks ago! here's a poem by Eduard Mörike Er ist's Frühling läßt sein blaues Band wieder flattern durch die Lüfte süße wohlbekannte Düfte streifen ahnungsvoll das Land Veilchen träumen schon wollen balde kommen horch,von fern ein leiser Harfenton Frühling ja du bist`s dich hab ich vernommen greetings from berlin

Hello there, German boy. I can tell by your accent. I'm glad you like our American music. Thank you for posting a picture of Hattie Carroll. I never saw a picture of her before. Poor lady! Now we know what she looked like. I hope she's in heaven now, and I think she is. We won't ever forget her, will we? She looks like a nice person from the picture. Strange this, she died on Feb. 9, and for days now starting Feb. 9, I have

been viewing videos of this song and trying to learn it.
