A question for Bob Dylan...

Rockmocker reader R.R. writes:

Still watching the parking meters...nothing yet. What exactly am I watching for?

R.R. is talking, of course, about Bob's cryptic admonition in the song Subterranean Homesick Blues. 

Thanks for the question, R.R.--and thanks to you, Bob, 
for providing a lifetime's worth of puzzling lyrics for the 
rockmocker to ponder. 

Here's Bob, layin' it all out on paper from the 1967 documentary film Don't Look Back.

Got a question for a rocker? Send it to the rockmocker.

A question for Journey...

How do passengers aboard the midnight train going anywhere know when they have arrived at their destination?

A question for Bono...

Rockmocker reader P.N. is confounded by Mr. Paul David Hewson, alias Bono. He writes:

I find it difficult to believe that Bono still hasn't found what he's looking for. The man can save the third world, hug George Bush, snog the Dali Lama, be friends with Steve Jobs, sing at Obama's inauguration, address the UN, fondle Oprah, etc., so why can't he organize himself properly and resolve this perplexing search?

Good point, P.N. By my count, it's been 22 years now that Bono's been looking. I wonder if he's tried behind the couch.

Not out here...

Nope. Not down there...

Thanks anyway, ladies. Not what I'm looking for.

Maybe if I use this telescope...

Thanks for the question, P.N., and good luck with your continued search, Mr. Hewson!

Got a question for Bono or another earnest and important rocker, send it to the rockmocker and we'll pass it along.

A question for Led Zeppelin...

Why would the neighbors care one way or another if you loved me each and every day?

Couldn't find any worthwhile video, but there's an audio stream here.

A question for Lynyrd Skynyrd...

Well, we've only been live for a week and we're already to Freebird.

Inquisitive reader D.R. recently sent this question in to Rockmocker Command Center:

Dear Lynyrd,
re: Freebird
If you'll never change, indeed can't change, then why wouldn't things be the same if you stayed? Seems to me things would be exactly the same, what with you incapable of change and all. 

Thanks for that great question, D.R., and thanks to all of you out there in the rockosphere who've sent in your own urgent queries to the rockmocker. Please remember, we don't answer questions here--we just ask them, and wait patiently for the monsters of rock to reply. Which makes it difficult if they've died in a plane crash or choked to death on their own vomit. Or both.

Keep ridin' the storm out, flyin' like an eagle, and most of all, don't stop believin'.
-the rockmocker
