How many have been called the next Bob Dylan thru the years?? These
are the ones I can think of....

John Prine
Bruce Springsteen
Bright Eyes
Loudon Wainwright III

I am sure there are many more

Elliot Murphy
Steve Forbert

Probably not Dave Blue, but he sure was close...

Slightly different, but a while back you posted a link to "Australia's
Bob Dylan", "Armenia's Bob Dylan", and so on - do you still have that?

You don't have to wait - we already know it, probably exactly word for
word.

I hope he doesn't let us down

And there is the genius of Jim - continually reinventing himself night
after night for our benefit. I think what most of us forget is that the
original posts were only a blueprint - not being able to second guess
him is part of what makes him unique. Yes, you can compare other
posters, but Jim only stands comparison to himself.

Obviously, the only "new" Guitar Guy Jim is Guitar Guy Jim - who else
could find so much new to say in the same old newsgroup after so many
years? Way to go Jimmyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

(*PS Jim - I hope by reading this you come to realize exactly how much
a fan of yours I really am!)

I finally listened to a Bright Eyes CD called "Lifted or The Story is
in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground". The lyrics reminded me of
the diary of an angst-filled adolescent. There seems to be an article
in every magazine I pick up about Conor
Oberst. When he was 14, he had surprising talent for a 14 year old, but
now the guy is in his twenties. I do not understand his appeal. He
isn't awful; he just isn't awfully interesting.
