I understand, Annamill. I absolutely couldn't stand the way Bob sounded the first time I heard him (at a friend's place, around '65 or '66). I promptly forgot about it, and didn't actually consciously listen to him again till '69. Then I LOVED him! Amazing what a difference 3 years can make, eh?

I simply didn't listen to commercial radio back then, so I missed a lot of contemporary stuff when it was happening...just listened to my own records at home, that's all. That's how I managed not to hear Bob between 1966 and 1969.
