First Listen: Bob Dylan, 'The Witmark Demos 1962-1964'

It's one thing to write "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" or "Blowin' in the Wind" by age 24. But add "Ballad of Hollis Brown," "Boots of Spanish Leather," "Mr. Tambourine Man" and other bits of genius to the list, and it really hits hard what a phenomenal talent Dylan was at such a young age. Hear many of his early demos until their release on Oct. 19.

Over the course of three weeks, he witnessed the day-to-day life of the couple in their Manhattan apartment, months before Lennon was shot dead outside the building. Here, Sheff shares several audio recordings of his interview, most of which has never been broadcast.

Ivy Wells, the Town of Sykesville’s Main Street manager — who resigned from that office on Sept. 29 in a dispute with the mayor and Town Council — announced this week that she wished to rescind the resignation and remain on the job.

The town released a statement on Wednesday saying Wells had rescinded the resignation on Oct. 12, one day before it was scheduled to take effect Oct. 13.

The statement said the mayor and Town Council, who had not yet accepted her resignation, were happy to hear of her reversal.

“We are glad that Ivy will continue working with the town in making downtown Sykesville vibrant and vital,” said Mayor Michael Miller.

A southern Carroll County man has been arrested and charged with six counts each of first- and second-degree assault plus reckless endangerment after firing a gun in the direction of a group of private security guards outside a home in Mount Airy Md. early Thursday morning.

FAMILY FEUD — Finksburg man kills former neighbor, self, in dispute involving estranged spouse

Suspect discovered dead nearby in backyard of former residence
STATE POLICE: THE 2 FIRST ASSAULTED EACH OTHER IN 2007

By Kevin Dayhoff

A murder-suicide of former neighbors in the Finksburg area of Carroll County northwest of the Baltimore County line early Thursday apparently involved the estranged wife of one of the victims.

After shooting his ex-neighbor in the neighbor’s driveway just after midnight, Gregory A. Martin, 51, then returned to his former home around the corner — where his estranged wife still lives — and shot himself in the backyard.

Shortly after 12 a.m. Thursday morning, officers responded to 911 calls reporting gunshots in the 1500 block of Pilgrim Lane, near Sandymount Road between Maryland Route 140 and the town of Patapsco.

When the troopers arrived on the scene they “found the victim lying in his driveway with what appeared to be gunshot wounds,” according to a police report by Maryland State Police spokesperson Greg Shipley.

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz Calls NJ Governor Chris Christie A ‘Cold-Hearted Fat Slob’

VIDEO

MSNBC host Ed Schultz launched into a fuming vituperation of New Jersey governor Chris Christie’s assertive style that had him calling the governor a “smug bully” and a “fat slob,” among many other things. This after Christie had defended California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman at a meeting, telling a heckler to calm down, while Glenn Beck is proposing a daily “Christie porn” moment on his radio show.

Schultz’s point was that the right seemed to be constantly telling liberals to “calm down” while embracing loud voices like Beck, citing an inherent hypocrisy in the fact that those two get along at all. “Christie has no business telling people to be respectful,” he argues, both because of his policies and his attitude. What’s more, Christie, says Schultz, is an “out of touch, smug bully” and, ultimately, nothing more than a “cold-hearted fat slob” who, “when he doesn’t like what he hears, he accuses the other side of shouting.” Schultz concludes that someone who opposed divisiveness should not be friendly with Beck. The alternative goes without saying. He culminated by asserting that he would not stop shouting in favor of his issues– namely, racial equality and social justice... http://www.mediaite.com/tv/msnbcs-ed-schultz-calls-nj-governor-chris-christie-a-cold-hearted-fat-slob/

Maryland State Police investigating possible Finksburg murder-suicide

Investigative Voice By Kevin Dayhoff Maryland State Police are continuing its investigation of a murder-suicide in the Finksburg area of Carroll County just north of the ...) http://investigativevoice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6277:family-feud&catid=25:the-project&Itemid=44

Maryland State Police are continuing its investigation of a possible murder-suicide in the Finksburg area of the county.

Just after midnight, earlier this morning, the State Police were heard on the police scanner responding to 911 calls reports that gun shots were heard in the 1500-block of Pilgrim Lane, near Sandymount Road between MD Route 140 and the town of Patapsco.

When the troopers arrived on the scene they “found the victim lying in his driveway with what appeared to be gunshot wounds,” according to a police report by Maryland State Police spokesperson Greg Shipley.

“The victim is identified as Steven W. Focht, 48, of the 1500-block of Pilgrim Lane, Finksburg, Md. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His body will be taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy,” reports Shipley.

State Police quickly “developed information on a possible suspect and troopers determined the suspect’s vehicle was also at the scene,” according to information gathered from the police scanner and later confirmed in Shipley’s police report.

“Troopers determined the suspect’s vehicle was one of the vehicles in the victim’s driveway.” According to information gather from the police scanner – and later confirmed by Shipley, “Troopers established a perimeter around the area and conducted a search for the suspect throughout the early morning. The search for the suspect involved a State Police helicopter, K-9 units, a tracking team, the Special Tactical Assault Team Element, and troopers patrolling throughout the area.”

The State Police homicide unit, assisted by members of the Westminster Barrack Criminal Investigation Section and crime scene technicians from the State Police Forensic Sciences Division, also responded to conduct an investigation.

Hours ago, shortly after 7 a.m. this morning, the suspect in the case was found and was pronounced dead in the backyard of a nearby residence in the 2400-block of Shawnee Drive.

Earlier this morning, the identity of the suspect was being withheld until family can be notified. In a police report just released, “The suspect is identified as Gregory A. Martin, 51, of the 4600-block of Doncrest Lane, Sykesville, Md.”

According to Shipley, “As daylight appeared, a trooper on the perimeter saw the body of a man lying in the back yard of a residence in the 2400-block of Shawnee Drive, Finksburg. This is a short distance away from the victim’s home and in the same neighborhood. This was also identified as the suspect’s previous home and where his estranged wife still lives.

EMS personnel determined on the scene, that Martin was deceased. State Police investigators recovered a .357 caliber handgun next to Martin’s body.

The preliminary investigation indicates Martin and Focht had an ongoing dispute that apparently began when the two were neighbors, according to Shipley “State Police had responded to the neighborhood on two separate occasions for disputes between the two in 2007 and 2008. No criminal prosecutions resulted in either incident.”

“Investigators believe from the initial evidence that Focht arrived home from work shortly after midnight today and Martin pulled into the driveway behind him.

“A confrontation occurred in the driveway and Focht was shot in the upper torso multiple times. Investigators believe Martin then ran to the backyard of his previous residence and took his own life.”

This is a developing story, check back for additional details as they become known.
