My sister got into my mom's car after me and complained about the Hank Williams,.
Dylan is great in concert, except the ones when you can barely understand the garble and can't identify the tunes,, luck of the draw. But often he is clear as a bell and he knows how to spin those songs a hundred ways. The mix of early tunes through current is staggering, he's poked every sore spot and pleasure point. Everyone should catch him.
And Just Cloudy, I'm sure you're celebrating wherever you are.
there is a funny quote by Simon Munnery [who apparently, when told by Stewart Lee that Lee didn't like Dylan, locked him in his flat and played highway 61 on repeat for 12 hours until Lee admitted he was a genius
]. . . anyway, Munnery said:"there are two views on Bob Dylan. Some say he's a genius. other people say he's a man with an annoying voice. i wasn't sure where i stood on that divide, but then someone told me i've got an annoying voice so i though Dylan's gotta be a genius, hasn't he."
