Thread Name: Dylan wins the Oscar
Subject: RE: Dylan wins the Oscar
Bob was on tour, and was made up for the stage. The eyeliner was really weird, and I thought the camera zooming in on his face must have been some kind of personal vendetta, as it show every speck of makeup. That, as much as the mustache, made him look like Vincent P.

and he did actually have on black tie. I looked close to make sure.

I have not been an admirer of Dylan's personal life. As a singer myself I can tell you that what he does with his voice is outstanding. Pregnant with implication, subtly nuanced. He makes his voice do just about whatever he wants it to. His phrasing is exquisite.

and his speech got in words like "peace" and "tranquility." He took the award, said a (very) few words, and got off. It was classy.
