So, a couple of nights ago during dinner, we're playing Rhino's original Nuggets compilation among which is "No Time Like the Right Time" by Blues Project with Al Kooper on organ. I explained to my daughter's best friend, who is a college DJ, that this was the same Al Kooper who wrote "This Diamond Ring" and played keyboards, mostly organ, on Dylan's electric coming out, Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and this seminal single. "Al who?"

I remember seeing Dylan play this live long, long ago, but I can't remember exactly when, because I was stoned... I remember that... love this song...
Unfortunately I've run into too many people at concerts in similar states of physical incapacitation to go back. In two cases, concertgoers within arms length of me were so fucked up that EMTs had to rush them unconscious out of the venue. It's just not fun being surrounded by zonked-out "fans" and listening to music so loud you can't hear yourself scream. Lazarus, I love this song too but tonight it just sounds overplayed to these ears. Dylan's written a lot of songs. RP needs to play some other ones. |

God almighty....nobody comes even close to writing songs like this guy.
And he's going on Summer tour of ball parks with Wilco and Richard Thompson!
Gonna see him in MN, and IL. Three shows....three nights on the road...getting on Highway 61 in Iowa!

He should be put out of his misery along with the garbage. The best part of having a BD tune occur...is that it makes whatever and I mean whatever song that comes next seem like the antidote of life. Go figure...Aimee Mann..."Save Me". A remedy.

Simply a timeless classic for those of us who grew up in the 60's (HS & college).

Funny: the things you do not like about him are more or less what made him into this figure you can not relate to... His voice: sure, his voice is not great but he made up for this by signing with a purpose or a feeling that makes up for it. There are many recording/performing artists you may like who would not be if it was not for Dylan's approach breaking the door down. His writing: music before Dylan, pop music songs where at most 2:30 long? Dylan changed that: you must like artists whose music clocks in at over 2:30 per song? Performing Artists: Dylan is that. It is not his voice, or his writing, or his band's performance or his performance individually that stand out but all of these put together. He truly was a performing artist before there were any. His touring.... When he toured England in was it '66, they did not have PA systems to handle what he and The Band wanted to do: people had not played arenas like that... he more or less started it. You do not have to like Dylan, that is not a problem. But I am sure most recording artists or performing artists you like will give Bob credit for what they do today or did in their prime depending on who you like. Heck, I am not even sure what he is writing about in many of his songs: one of my favorites is Vision of Johanna... I have no idea what it is about. It is a great song though. Cheers. gemtag wrote:IMO, humble or not, Bob Dylan is one of the most overrated singer-songwriters ever. to me it's an emperor's new clothes thing. Everybody says he's great so he must be. People are cattle.
I find his voice intolerable, his tunes sophomoric and his lyrics pseudo-intellectual masturbation.
Maybe somebody will write a nice song or message ala Bob Dylan about me now.

Yes! My feelings exactly. I love Radio Paradise, except they play too much Bob Dylan. I registered so I could vote and comment on this.

You never had hypocrites for friends — or people that betrayed you? You never had visions of a better world? You never wanted to tell a story in song form, and hope you could have an iota of the talent he has? Yeah, he had a whiney voice. At least I could understand what the **** he was saying. Not like some of the new singers who sing like they've got their heads up their ****'s. I didn't particulary like Dylan's personality or his manner of speaking, but, you know what? BFD. He was still a musical genius. His legacy is intact. After reading four negative comments in a row, I had to defend Bobby Z. Normally, I wouldn't give a f*ck. But you people have truly pyssed me off.
I love it when you get mad. |

Dylan is probably the most dissected artists of all time. I am not that smart, I just like his music, is that ok?
