70 years -Congratulations Bob Dylan!

Postby viking60 » 23 May 2011, 09:45

Bob Dylan is 70 today. :lam
He is one of the most influential musicians of our time and has written a "million" classics and sold even more records. Not bad for a guy that cannot sing. :-D
But he has always been the guy with an attitude - he still is. And that is a compliment. He gets bored with his old songs so he has a lot of fun "destroying" them on his concerts.Here is a fitting song from a remarkable carrier:

(Yes people it is not a Guns and Roses song :mrgreen: )

"The ragman draws circles
up and down the block.
I'd ask him what the matter was
but I know that he don't talk...."

My high-school friend, Doug Palmer, would play vinyl LP's on his parents' "hi-fi" console stereo at full blast, when the adults were not home. "Stuck Inside of Mobile (with the Memphis Blues, again)" from the Blonde on Blonde double album was/is one of my favorites, made quite an impression, over 30, erp 40! years ago :shock: Crank it up!

Happy birthday, Mr. Dylan. Image

I watched The last waltz 5 times at the cinema (I have the DVD too) and this was one of my favorites there:

While The Band's Music From Big Pink version was my favorite, this one from Last Waltz is not so bad, either :cheers
