I don't know, but I love " Modern Times". As for Ezra, I saw him on one You Tube clip and at once noted something in his style of communication similiar to something from an old interview with Bob Dylan also seen on You Tube. It was that playful youthfulness, and difficulty perhaps articulating his abstract thoughts, trying to describe the difference between playing acoustic solo and having a band Anyway, I have to find his music....Check out this kid. i think he was 14 when he did this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eho51A_bLug&mode=related&search= Your wife sounds brilliant. I can't remember names of songs or bands or names and usually come up with some near association. Cat got his vocal chords….hey he’s a geezer now but he’s still got it….whatever it is.

I think Dylan is sometimes an aquired taste. You gotta be in a certain mood. I don't know....I coudn't make out a word of what he was saying when I first saw him in 2004. My friend took me back several more times that same year, as Bob Dylan was in the neighborhood and each time seemed to me better than the last, though I still couldn't make out the words and much less the songs, which he had changed the melodies!! I don't know what it is....some kind of Dylanisma..or maybe it's that cat in heat and I am just respondiong. Oh that's the grossest thing ...Strike that! I am sure my attraction to Dylan has to do with his sex appeal....I always went for the geezers. That and....I love the one who takes me to see him. Transferance? Cat got his vocal chords....

Of course it is...if you drank as much, smoked as much, and lived on the road as long as he has, yours would sound pretty much the same, too. Still, he uses it like an instrument and "Modern Times" is brilliant. The amalgemation of lyrics and vocals is spot on and while I don't totally agree with my thirty year old son when he said, "he's finally learned how to sing," I do agree with the sentiment. And, of course, there is the classic John Lennon quote- "It's not what he's saying, it's how he says it." I think you either love him or hate as a singer. Is Dylan’s voice shot?

What should have been a 45 minute drive to the ballpark turned into 3 hours due to traffic, causing me to miss most of Willie's set. After Dylan came on, I wished their lineup had been reversed and of course, that I had been able to see him 40 years previously! Thanks for the mp3.

I could always fool her with “Firefall”. They were a good band but underrated.

She actually bought the new Dylan because of the song “When the Deal goes Down”.
