Dylan on Drugs ?


1987: 'Dylan and the Dead' tour made the Dead
sound 'lively'.
1992: Nixed from Hear Music,
2001: TWENTY year anniversary of slumming with Ringo &
P-Jam in the $5 CD sale-rack
2002: New album Love and Theft is a $^&^%## Classic !!

Old Bob sounds like he's been lightin up with Les Paul, Johnny Cash and John Hiatt, (with maybe some Leonard Cohen dropping in between sets). Different and new as it is, it still sounds like a classic BOB DYLAN album ! Way to go Dylan !!!!!

Any other fans out there ? Is 'time out of mind' as good ?

Ben, na.
It was a reverse implication. Implication by inversion (not to be pretentious nor intentious) suggesting that Dylan has regained his lost creative powers because he has cleaned up. Remember back in the 80's and early 90's when Bob was giving Keith Richards a run for Fate of the Earth survivor ?

Ever seen Dylan live ? I did - Dylan and the Dead & later with Tracy Chapman (she was more lively than him too). Or the 30th anniversary show - Nyquil IV ?

Let me know if I can explain 'blowin in the wind' or 'lay lady lay' for you.
Pretty good ben. I think I'll try and catch Dylan when he comes around this time - if he makes it to Portland.

Cornfed: (Since you are in Colorado) If you want to hear some 'real' Dylan songs, go a show of the 'Black Rose acoustic society' north of Colorado Springs. Quite a few members from the original Florida based group.

Dylan is an easy person to overlook. That's the trick I think. Don't get one of his songs ? Just wait.

Ehart: Haven't heard the vinyl. The cd has exceptional sound quality.
