To me, especially for someone whose just experienced a break-up, "Blood On The Tracks" is the perfect record to put on and listen to. I'm thinking of making a little wooden case with a glass front, putting that CD in it, and then attaching a little hammer with a long chain.
"Blood on the Tracks" comes out everytime I open that second bottle of Merlot in celebration of my most recent love catastrophe.
I'm sort of a peripheral Dylan fan--if you are a rock music fan at all, you have to be acquainted with him in order to understand many of the acts who came after him--so I don't know some of the deep cuts that have been mentioned on here. I did see Bob Dylan in 1996 in Richmond, but all that I remember is that he was wearing silver pants. I'll never get past that. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 10:07:18 PM | | Im a pretty hard core Dylan fan..Although Ive only seen him perform once in concert two years ago...Bob is a trip, he doesnt try to please anyone..lol....Ive been to his hometown of Hibbing for Dylan Days a few years ago in May...It was alot of fun and great to meet and chat with so many Dylan fans in addition to the town folk and his family who know him the best!..The orginal band who recorded BOTT played in the high school auditorium during Dylan Days. | |

Bob Dylan recently visited Neil Young's childhood home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, while on tour.
I like one of the responses to the story:
Neil to Bob: "Old man take a look at my life. I'm a lot like you."

Posted: 2/18/2009 11:17:59 AM | | I took the time to watch a great documentary in Dylan....I came to the conclusion that he's a total Woodie Guthrie ripoff and I still can't stand his voice...I tried, just couldn't do it... | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 1:50:13 AM | I'll be checking that out. Im a huge Dylan fan. I have almost every album. Only missing a few from the mid 80s which most people consider miss able.
I saw him last November. I was in third row. One of the best moments Ive experienced thus far. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 3:54:11 PM | New album supposedly has "a lot of accordion in it."
His last two releases didn't completely bowl me over, but then they were hard to compare to Time Out of Mind, still one of my favorites of his. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 6:14:10 PM | | Bob Dylan isn't about talent, it's about art and story telling. He's definitely a great story teller and ranks up there in terms of legend status. One of my favorites from him is "Ballad Of A Thin Man." Bob Dylan inspired a lot of people, started a movement, and defined a generation, that's more than a lot of of the "talented musicians" can say. | |

Posted: 4/5/2009 7:40:52 AM | I became a Dylan fan with his 2nd album. My buddy and I were blown away by this young, "singer-song writer." We saw him twice as an acoustical act and they were great shows. When we went to see him on his first electrical tour, with the Band, there were almost fist fights in the auditorium. Some people booing and others, like ourselves cheering. Some ***hole yelled, "sell-out" from the balcony and threw a silver dollar(!) at Dylan. It hit his water glass. It could have killed him had it struck him in the temple.
When he was a folk artist he would talk to and interact with his audience. Unfortunately he stopped doing that as time went on. Perhaps he felt alienated from his fans as they began to express their disapproval of him. Like Leonard Cohen, he remains a viable artist, despite his age. It just goes to show you that fashion comes and goes but when you've got the real stuff time doesn't touch you. | |

Posted: 8/13/2009 7:40:12 PM | Dylan's the bomb. My dad is a huge fan (he's 73) so I have heard his music since I can remember. He has such a unique style and I consider him a true artist. His last CD rocks.
Did you know that Dylan is also a great/ interesting visual artist- draws and paints?
He had a show at a London gallery approx. two years ago. | |

Posted: 8/14/2009 10:45:24 AM | ..i haven't heard enough of his "stuff" to really judge.. i seen dangerous minds movie and he is mentioned there, he has coverred U2, he rebelled against the accoustic gutiar when elecric first came in and he wrote "like a rolling stone" there is no doubt he is an all time great, a probable genius (without the madness)
i was never a fan of folk music so never really understood where he was coming from...it's sometimes said he is up there with Radiohead and Bach in terms of techical genius, all round ability, thoughtfulness and melody but none of us will be alive in 500 hundred years time so who knows if we will still be listening to Bob.....? | |

| Bob Dylan...
Posted: 8/14/2009 7:46:32 PM | Ok I"m going to get a whoopin for this one..
Dylan...I just don't get it. And I never have.
The music just doesn't do it for me. And I was raised old school . Hendrix, Clapton, Japlin, CSR, Skynard, Bad Co, America, Petty, Rush, Eagles, Aerosmith - the old stuff, Zeppelin, Kansas, Boston (ok I'm mixing genres here but forgive me)
Bach Turner Overdrive anyone? Dire Straits.
Favorite of all time...Jethro Tull. HUGE Tull fan.
But Dylan...just can't get my arms around it. Never could. | |

Posted: 8/15/2009 1:34:14 AM | Well well that's the thing with dylan much like the Dead sometime it takes awhile to "get it" personally and as of lately I've bin listenin' to alot of Zimmey specialy since me and the old lady are going are seperate ways ( Positively 4th st.), I 'm really into the Band so therefore I like Bob 2 . He's had a wonderful career, love his gruff voice nowadaze, suits him and can actually understand him better now. If there are any nah sayers out here you just don't get it, open yer ears nd listen brother, DYLAN & DEAD '86 /87 w/ tom petty opening come on I rest my case.

He was a great writer and singer of the 60s...Sad that he decided to end what he was doing so soon. | |
