Hey, ya all, don't count "mah man" out... I'm about sick of folks sayin' "Dylan's all washed up"... Yeah, right... I've been hearing that same ol' song fir going on 40 years now... It was especially bad in the late 80's after his Isreal tour...

Hey, if you want purdy danged music, go hear someone who does it. Dylan never has and never will... There will always be a few rough edges. Get over it or don't go see him... I will not listen to yet another round of "Bob's all washed up" crap.

I'll tell ya what. Wait until his next CD and then come back and tell me that he's washed up. Oh, but before that, try to sing a couple of the songs on that CD first.

Okay. I'll admit, as he prolly would also, that he'd be just fine in a coffee house playin' strictly acoustic to 75 or 80 folks but he doesn't really have that choice anymore. No, he's got 80,000 folks which means lots of amplification and lots of amplification means having to use it. You don't go usin' it by steppin' to a mic with an acoustic guitar and nothin' else....

So, yes, Dylan is guilty of doing the best he can in tryin' to relate his art thru the promoters venue but he is still friggin' Dylan and I'll not hear any more herisy against the man who every one of us owes so much...

Grrrrrrrrrrr............
