BerkshireLinks is home to our Tanglewood coverage; it dates to 2000, when we began aggregating material that was beyond the purview of this site. For several years, we maintained comprehensive schedule and ticket info. for all the venues, museums, parks and attractions in the Berkshires, including jobs and hotel reservations. Also, our theatre critic, Franny Hall (1918-2014) reviewed every play in the area for fifteen years.

The outdoors, in the midst of the hustle and bustle around the Lenox library, is often a felicitous place to gather one’s thoughts and collect them in sentences on paper.

Garrisons are both born and made –
one houses straight shooters whose works
may excite the poets; the other is unarmed,
dangerous, and shoots blank, vapid verse.

Dave Read

Garrison Keillor takes a stab at poetry:

“Now and then people ask me why we didn’t have Dylan on the show,” the former host of “Prairie Home Companion” writes in “Living With Limericks,” which was published last week. “Because I don’t care to be associated with him, that’s why.”

“I think that ‘My Back Pages’ is one of the worst songs ever written,” he continues. “I could name others. It’s no wonder he took a pseudonym, so as to avoid bringing shame on the Zimmerman family.”

There is a songwriter named Bob
Who makes some people’s hearts throb
They find a thrill in
Listening to Dylan
And for me it’s more like a job.

Besides USA, ‘The Firm’ has hurt Ireland & India the most

Sources suspect Megxit merely may be another global distraction, designed to echo that ’60s infestation of Beatles???

Outlined against a blue-gray November sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore their names are Death, Destruction, Pestilence, and Famine. But those are aliases. Their real names are: Thomas, Cavanaugh, Barrett, and Trump.

They formed the logo of the Notre Dame-infused whirlwind before which one demographic bucket after another of the TV-dumb were swept over the virtual precipice by the real virus, itself impotent, unless people agree to swap air among friends and foes.

I breathe out, you breathe in – it’s the American way.

38% of families report permanent Trump rifts, only 29% report separate tables for vegans.

PrezDJ Trump let vegans off the hook for doing their Putin-pleasing meddling with America’s only homegrown holiday – and he did it at the kid’s table!
