Bob Dylan. not sure i can explain how, when, or why this man has had such an impact on me. I remember when I was 13 years old, I was reading a book of songs by this guy called Bob Dylan. It blew me away. I was hearing these songs years before. My Mom used to play a lot of Peter, Paul, and Mary. After reading "A Hard Rains a gonna fall" was the time this artist deeply touched me. Have been ever since. I am still touched. Must be another one of those mental things.
I can't think of words that can explain why I feel the way I do about this man. Probably because i am so bad with words and expressing thoughts, but he could do it for me. I truly believe he is not just a genius, but the most influential artist rock has given us. And much more.
Two that come to me right off are Linda Eder and Loreena McKennit. Linda has a great Christmas Album released last year.
