Tim, I'm a big fan of his Bobness; the Tarantula reference was just for humor (of a sort). If and when Bob puts out an autobiography, I will buy and read it immediately. Still, like another poster to this thread, I wonder how honest he will be; he has a lot of wonderful attributes, but honesty about his past has never been at the top of the list.

I think the new album is great, by the way; musically interesting (great band), lyrically playful, more consistently enjoyable than Time Out Of Mind (which had some great songs, some okay, and a couple of throwaways). It ain't Blonde On Blonde, but I'm glad to see the creativity is still there. And his voice is sounding better than it has in years.
