In a sentence ...
Mr Jinx
Could you condense into a single sentence the most important thing Bob
Dylan has taught you?
Mine might be something like:
"Bob Dylan has taught me that whatever I think is certain to be true in
this world is worth re-examining".
How has he taught me this? I don't know. It's something in the way he
stands ... or maybe it's in the way he is tipping his hat on the cover
of Nashville Skyline .... Maybe it's the way he riffs outside that pet
shop in No Direction Home ... Maybe it's the weather or something like
that. I just don't know. Actually I do know. It's a thousand things
and I'd far rather hear your sentences....
Go ahead. Be creative, folks.

group. As of yet, I have no answer other than "trust yourself."
I'm going to the phsyciatrist today to get back on my psych meds, all
for manic-depression, which was probably caused by my drug use and
bulimia.
I am going to ask him if I can start the day program there.
I am glad Bob Dylan's songs aren't about me, however if I remember more
coincidences at the appropriate time, I will share.
I believe all you people are real, thank you Mark and Bobette (haha),
we won't live forever, there is no reincarnation, and Bob Dylan is
"just another person." He happens to be the smartest/coolest/most
intetersting person I know of, however.
I no longer want to be with him, I just want to follow him. He's too
old, too busy, and too smart for me. I am not a sex object.
Thank You, Bob.
And most of all, thank you RMD.

"Bob Dylan has taught me that words can be more powerful than actions"
He is not only the inspiration that lead me to become a musician, he is
also my filter for most of what i encounter in my life. Honestly the
man seems to have a line for nearly every situation/person,etc.

He taught be about a lot of historical music I probably wouldn't have
come upon otherwise. He also taught me that ascending or descending
chromatically with chords is a great device that has many many uses.
And he taught me that it's a pretty good idea in any endeavor to avoid
phrases like "shadows metal badge" and "flung down by corpse
evangelist." Also that being a hip folksinger is not a contradiction
in terms.

I have read this group occasionally for years but I dont think i have
posted before.
Anyway, glad to hear bob is working on a new album because I still
can't get enough of Love and Theft.
I live in Florida right now, but for many years I played acoustic gigs
in Colorado that consisted mostly of rare dylan songs, rare meaning not
the hits. I have an extensive knowledge of his songs and lyrics and
still play and sing when i find the time. If anyone is interested i
posted some home recordings on myspace

Dylan has taught me to follow my instincts and sense of what I need to
create irregardless of controversy or approval and to not be afraid to
change if that is what is necessary.

Careful, Lone. Some grammar cop is gonna mention the (mis)use of
'irregardless' :)

more..

Don't become an oldies act like the Stones.

oldies act like the Stones>
They did a song from their most recent album at halftime of the Super
Bowl a couple of weeks ago, seen by (arguably---Live Aid might've topped
it if they even performed there?) their largest audience ever. When you
say 'oldies act' I'm thinking Hermans Hermits, The Beach Boys, Gerry &
The Pacemakers, ad nauseum. Not the Rolling Stones.
Not that there's anything wrong with being an oldies act. I'd rather
hear LARS for the umpteenth time than a version of 'Mississippi' that I
can barely make the words out to. But that's just me.

What makes you think it would have been any better in 1965 than 1995?
'From 40 years ago.'

or needlessness for there to be more 1966 Dylan concerts in
circulation.
Do you really need more vintage Stones recordings? Why?
Just like does anyone really need any more 1966 Dylan shows and
outtakes.
Don't we have enough already, and how much is too much?
ironhills
What exactly are you arguing against, consumer glut in the western
world? Me, I was talking about timeliness, and how at the right moment
in time the Stones could have done a superb version of Like a Rolling
Stone.
crazytimes
I just find it odd that you think we need more Stones recordings from
1965 (especially ones that don't exist), but you take exception to
people who wish to hear more Dylan live recordings from 1966.
I mean, really, don't we have enough vintage Stones and Dylan already
in circulation? Rhetorically speaking, of course...
ironhills
argument.
More 1966 recordings of Bob Dylan, singing the same songs as on other
dates, in similar if not identical versions, is valuable.
The Rolling Stones covering LARS, however, whether from 1965 or,
better, in the early to mid-70's, is superfluous.
You're so right.
Kindly remove that bug from up your ass, if that is not too
superfluous.

Well, I'm glad that you'd like to hear something, even if it doesn't
exist, 'From 40 years ago'...
I feel the same way about Dylan recordings. :)

On the contrary, the bug was stuffed squarely up your ass, probably
still is. You're the one who was questioning the need to hear more
recordings 'From 40 years ago' - as you said on the 'set lists' thread.
I'm just glad that, in the course of the day, you've come to appreciate
that someone, anyone (in this case, yourself) might want to actually
hear a recording (one that might or might not exist) 'From 40 years
ago', despite the abundance of material already available to us from
that era.
Such breakthroughs and turnarounds in thought and, in this case,
desire, are rare on rmd, especially when they take course in a matter
of hours - 'From just 4 hours ago'... It's remarkable, to say the
least. And you probably didn't even realize this great change in
yourself, which makes it even the more beautiful, if not to say:
beautific.
Hooray!

What could be more bug-buggered than needing every single recording
from a specific era of a certain artist, when plenty--20, did someone
say?--are already available?

Actually, that would be YET ANOTHER RECORDING from 40 years ago, which
in this case (that is, the Rolling Stones) not yet another one at all,
but one that would be unique. As for the history, I'm so sorry I got
the chronology wrong. I thought they covered it around 2000, not 1995.
Off by 5 years, forgive me. Unlike you I didn't know the exact date
that they covered LARS, I was probably too busy living.
Sincerely,
ironhills.

Hey, you're the one bug-buggering for more Stones recordings from '40
years ago' even though plenty already exist and they already gave you a
plantinum-plattered versio of LARS in 1995.

'Too busy living' - what a unique thing... who would have guessed.
Good for you!

Yeah, I had a feeling you'd write that - taking out time from your 'too
busy living' mode to think straight. Nice of you to write...
