Hamburg intro

[Bob Meyer]

Here is the inro of Dylan last night. Dylan was spoofing the article in
the Buffalo news the day before.

"...Good evening ladies and gentlemen please welcome The poet laureate
of rock 'n' roll. The voice of the promise of the '60s counterculture.
The guy who forced folk into bed with rock, who donned makeup in the
'70s and disappeared into a haze of substance abuse, who emerged to
"find Jesus," who was written off as a has-been by the end of the '80s,
and who suddenly shifted gears and released some of the strongest music
of his career beginning in the late '90s. Columbia recording artist Bob
Dylan.."

That's classic.

He seems to get a kick out of the "voice of a generation" label. In the
Rome Interview he made this riotously
sarcastic yet friendly kind of reference to it when speaking with the
reporters. Don't forget this guy walked around Don't Look Back with a big
lightbulb.

A haze of substance abuse in the '70s?

What was he ingesting in the '60s, health food?

Bob,
could you elaborate on this? what do you mean "spoofing the article" ...
what did article say? I like the "poet laureate of rock n roll" part.

also .. gotta love Freeman's remark about the 60s and health food. I had
the same reaction.

p.s. great review!

Take off the "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, please welcome ..." and "...
Columbia recording artist Bob Dylan" and you have an actual paragraph from
the article.

In Toronto last night it was a similar intro with mention of his
health trouble in 1997. Before TOOM.

So has Bob just decided he was paying Al Santos too much per word or what? And
what's next, Santos has to wear a fake beard and a long-haired wig hat?

Stay tuned.

I am so glad that Bob emerged to find Jesus. I was not aware that
Jesus had gone missing, but this is just one more thing for which,
personally, I am eternally indebted to Bob.

Heard they used the same intro in Toronto?

Yeah, why say Dylan was into "substances" in
the '70s and not the '60s? Maybe the writer
didn't like some of BD's work during the '70s,
and this was an easy way to explain these
alleged feelings to himself. Guess he had no
problem with Dylan's work inthe '60s...
