Happy Birthday Robert Zimmerman

[Life Saab Itch]

Bob Dylan is 70 today.

This is the man who wrote the second best song ever.

Queen Jane Approximately? Good choice

[Life Saab Itch]

Lay Lady Lay. . Much better.

I heard Blowin' in the wind on the radio this morning, might just listen to a bit more now.

Bought my first Dylan LP in 1963, been buying them ever since - Happy Birthday Bob and thanks for the songs.

Can't see it. Horrible whiney noise. Avoid.

Tis what most people who say they don't like Barb Dylan say. I just don't think they're listening to the songs properly. Rather than focus on the 'whiney noise', listen to what the song, instruments and lyrics are saying.

Positively 4th Street would be a good place to start.

I dunno, I wouldn't start there, it's at the height of his nasal-ness. I usually say start with The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, then Highway 61 Revisited. If you aren't a mad raving fan by then there's little hope for you.

Happy birthday Bob, Desire is my favourite, since waaaaay back.

Big question though is, what is he?
Poetic commentator or protestor?

You probably don't rate Picasso either as he couldn't paint proper faces.
