A good one-Congrats Bob!
I like my five disc changer.. I can load an artist and play for hours...
Right now in Blond on Blond...
Good for him!
I'm neither a fan nor a cynic of his work. It's just a genre which doesn't interest me. But I definitely do think that he is a wonderful artist, and applaud his accomplishments and lyrical artistry. Congrats to Bob Dylan.
:)
I had a friend in college that told me that Dylan was a genius. I took the other side back then. Maybe he was right. If I knew where he was, I could tell him that maybe he was right.
He's probably telling someone that back in college he argued with this guy that Dylan was a genius, yada yada.
The sum total of his work is pretty staggering.
Lyric poet, as the ancients would say.
... although I've only heard some excerpts on the radio.
Dylan, like so many old fogey rockers, has become more of a "novelty act" than anything else. At least for me.
I am a huge Dylan fan but I would never buy a Christmas album of his because I don't like holiday music. I disagree that he is a novelty act if you have listened to any of his material since Time Out of Mind you will see he has entered a new creative period that rivals anything he has done since the 60's.

I tend to like a lot of popular "seasonal" music and find some of it to be fairly high quality and worthy of a listen in any season. However............the few tracks of the Christmas album I've listened to weren't very pleasant with Dylan kinda snarling thru the lyrics....almost as if the whole thing was an insider's joke. Thanks but no-thanks.
Hey, if you like Christmas music, you outta pick up Harry Connick's Christmas CD from about 15 years ago. My good buddy Roger Ingram (rogeringram.com) was playing lead trumpet. Yeah, yeah, shameless plug.

Right!You have to be fluent in "Range-bonics" to understand ol' Bob.
"Da-range" refers to the iron range in North Eastern Minnesota. Some prominent towns on "Da-range" include Mountain Iron, Chisholm, Biwabik, Eveleth, and of course Hibbing where Bob hails from.
Up dare on da-range, day speak uh little funny and have some rather interesting colloquialisms den doncha know?
