Thread Name: How rich is Dylan?
Subject: RE: How rich is Dylan?
bbZ was always rich. I hung around with him in 61/62 NJ NY scene. No he didn't have any money then. He was very shy and intense wise guy. Whenever I could afford it, very drunk too. Then he shined! I still today tune my guitar as I did then to my Honer harp that I have always carried in my case for that sole purpose. Bob borrowed it often (he didn't own one) in those early performance days. He couldn't much play it or a sometimes borrowed guitar or sing for that matter. The visual was the thing. The harp is a "G" long before blown out to G flat. It and Bob were perfect together. Many Dylan clones still today ask to see it or spit into it. In the early days, Folk City on 4th was a favorite haunt twice a week. Many of the then obscure, todays names, were there nightly. Yes he's rich now and deals with it well. Try consider today, the day no talent Bob's 1st album hit the streets. That was true collective awe! I could go on about my affection for Bob till this server is pained... but no I couldn't do that to Clinton H cept'n maybe on a BS thread. Nuff sed.
