I lied about not ever going to see Bob Dylan again — I got a free ticket to last night’s show at Verizon Center in DC. Mark Knopfler opened — and he did a nice hits-free set.
Dylan — well — he started off in pretty good voice in “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight” but . . . I left with so many questions as I did the last time I saw him five years ago: Why does he continue to do this? Why do people continue to go? (It was about 2/3rds full — they can’t all be getting free tix like me), why has Charlie Sexton ditched his own career to be a sideman for so long?
This may have been hashed out long ago on RTH. I heard one guy behind me tell his kid — “Don’t listen to his voice — think about who he is . . . ” OK, I guess that’s one answer.
I’ll keep the the Hall lights on during your Thanksgiving holiday(s). Last year me and Happiness Stan had a good little discussion about The Band and The Last Waltz, I think. I recommended a documentary for those spending the night alone. I’ll come up with another one.
Agreed. Horseshit cover — and what’s inside is not clicking with me yet. I’m not knee-jerk anti on this either. Latter-day GP albums — Your Country, etc.– are actually pretty good.

Excellent topic for discussion! If i get a minute I will post it to The Main Stage, or we could discuss here.

I guess Macca doesn’t have enough money and Fogerty isn’t selling many of those $70 shirts – http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/11/19/what-happens-in-vegas-a-buyout-birthday-blowout/
Who’s idea was it for this album cover?

Must be looking to target market the Wilfred Brimley niche…
