Bob Dylan

[johncorrigan]

I was listening to the radio yesterday and couldn't help enjoy this outtake from Bob's 'Shot of Love' sessions that I hadn't heard before. However it did make me feel that the aging process had taken him a long way from Boots of Spanish Leather to these 'Fur Slippers'.

His audition for the Bond theme, JR. Great band he's got going there.

Still as powerful and relevant as when I first heard it in 1963:

Brilliant, JR.
Of course there's always Tom Lehrer's cheery take on it.

Not sure this was required, but here's a reworking of 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' from Bob...the vid not the song.

Dylan never threw anything away and Front Row on R4 has just had a report on the new Bob Dylan Center which has just opened in Tulsa as the repository for about 100,000 items, including a previously unopened bag of fan mail from 1966. https://artsandsciences.utulsa.edu/dylan-fan-mail-1966/

I don't know how Bob has the room to carry all that welding gear around all over the place when he's on tour, OG. Maybe it's his rider at gigs - 'A bottle of Heaven's Door whiskey and an oxy-acetylene torch with all the trimmings, if you don't mind, please,' I can hear him growling
