Hi...When I was a youth, I couldn't stand Dylan. His voice struck me as extremely unmusical, and I hated that hinky harmonica (and I don't care what anybody says, I still think his harmonica playing is awful; not even jailhouse-worthy). And yet, over time (a <i>lot</i> of time), as I managed to focus on more than the mere performance, I found myself becoming a kind of reluctant fan.

But he's pretty much the "fat lady sings" of literature, "when Dylan wins the Nobel Prize" used to be like "when hell freezes over". That's it folks, shows over. (I know there are great novels written in Malayali, but even people a few hours bus ride away can't read them, so who will care?)<br /><br />Mr Tambourine Man is a great poem, comparable in many ways to Coleridge's Kubla Khan (I read this elsewhere and agree). Hard Rain's Gonna Fall is as important as some of Yeat's apocalyptic poems, and skillfully elevates Dustbowl folk singing to high art. The sarcasm in Times They Are a Changing gave depth to our youth which is lacking now when the young don't question their own assumed brilliance. Creating a poem with such power is a great skill. <br /><br />The joke is that Like a Rolling Stone, the first angry song, launched Punk Rock, yet it was originally a jolly waltz and a bit of a misfire until Tom Wilson the producer tidied it up. brucenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-80355382435765749042016-10-17T05:46:47.660-04:002016-10-17T05:46:47.660-04:00The sudden random violence of nature meets Grizzly...The sudden random violence of nature meets <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIiwhB38M1A" rel="nofollow">Grizzly Bear Man</a>.<br /><br />Sorry about the video's reduced size and quality. <br />YouTube saw fit to do this to the original video for some reason. <br />Still a classic though, imo.Mike_Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763863026050702658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-68026963660620440322016-10-16T20:26:19.149-04:002016-10-16T20:26:19.149-04:00Each miniature figure of himself comes with its in...<i>Each miniature figure of himself comes with its instructions in a nice cardboard box reflecting the spirit of the famous G.I Joe toys. </i><br /><br />That's strange.
