  • OK Blue Quinn... 's'true Highway 61 by Bob is not much good, bit listen to Johnny Winter's take on it and you hearing one of the top tracks of all time. Same is true for a large number of early Dylan songs. But from your later posts... just get off this thread.

    Lot of good stuff namechecked on here or linked. My fave is not actually a Dylan song but his appearance with Willy Nelson doing Townes Van Zandt's Pancho and Lefty is just surreal. And TVZ is close to Bob in having penned some tunes I'll still be singing when they lower me down.

    As for watching a film about a nutcase who digs through people's bins - leave me out. The essential heavyweight book about Dylan is I think Michael Gray's Song & Dance Man. The lightweight-but-still good book about Dylan is probably Clinton Heylin's Behind the Shades.

  • Nice link great track^

    Mustn't forget his other talents though. He paints;

  • Not very well.
    That bike's unrideable.

  • Not very well.
    That bike's unrideable.

    He knows that

  • Has he considered cycle training?

  • Mustn't forget his other talents though. He paints;

    So does Prince Charles. Not really helping your case there.

  • He's not very good at this bicycle lark is he?
    I mean, look here: he's not even free wheeling. He''s not even Slaining, he's just out for a walk.

  • Prince charles landscape

    Dylan's

  • Charlie's much better at painting.

    oh dear we are such different people BQ;)
    Charlie's picture is bland and unimaginative Dylans has narrative, fire and emotion. Anyhow not planning to defend his paintings here.

  • I offer'd her my hand,
    She took me by the arm.
    I knew that very instant,
    She meant to do me harm.

    "Depart from me this moment,"
    I told her with my voice.
    Said she, "But I don't wish to,"
    Said I, "But you have no choice."

    for those easily annoyed by dylans voice, the soundtrack to I'm not there is actually really nice.

    I should hope not. He's got the colours all wrong and he's gone over the lines.

  • I saw Percy Sledge last year. It was mega.

  • Has he considered cycle training?

    He once "infuriated" his tour management by insisting on riding his mountain bike between venues instead of travelling on the bus with the others.

  • Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues is wick.

  • His Bobness is good, but he's no Phil Ochs.

    *"I just can't keep up with Phil. And he just keeps getting better and better and better."
