Just finished reading "Shakey" which is that big old biography written about Neil a few years back. I've been a fan since I was a kid and really enjoyed the book. He is a true maverick in terms of trying different things (some of which are hard on the ears) and sometimes deliberatly evading success. His music is almost always at least interesting and full of heart and soul. Makes Dylan look like the easiest guy in the world to communicate with and figure out. "On The Beach" and "Stars & Bars" came out recently on CD and they sound great (if you like that sort of thing.)
