That's odd, I was just thinking the same about Bob Dylan |

yes love it - I like the Producer/singer fake interview down some comments here : ) **** I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good And death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood And the man on my TV told me that it had always been that way And there was nothin' anyone could do or say And I almost listened to him Yeah, I almost lost my mind Then I regained my senses again And looked into my heart to find That I believe that one fine day all the children of Abraham Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school But somewhere along the way I strayed and I never looked back again But I still find some comfort now and then Then the storm comes rumblin' in And I can't lay me down And the drums are drummin' again And I can't stand the sound But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem And there'll be no barricades then There'll be no wire or walls And we can wash all this blood from our hands And all this hatred from our souls And I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem |

Yes, perhaps, tell ya what, we'll be on your property at 5 AM, we're building condo's and moving all our
friends and relatives on to what you just thought was your land...
Then again, "fault" could be just a matter of perception.......

oh yea, and before we do that, we'll tear down YOUR house and kill a couple of your kids, while we're at it |

Think of his voice and others like him as beer or coffee, it takes some time to acquire the taste but when you do it's appreciated all the more.

He's like the Bruce of the south ... always thought Bruce's appeal was especially regional. If you grew up around that Jersey area, he was like one of your friends telling you a story about people you knew, or were related to. |

Exactly correct! I saw Leonard at Coachella on 4/17 (and Paul McCartney!  ) He was beyond extraordinary. If there is any way you can catch Leonard on his tour, do yourself a favor. You won't regret it.  |

Steve is the real deal—about as rootsy as a rocker can get. Great song.
