Thread Name: Bob Dylan Albums Question
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan Albums Question
Absolutely, Superdad, because for the Honest, no law is necessary. In a similar way, when you become an adult you are no longer subject to the rules which children are expected to obey. In a society of truly honest and kindly people, no laws would be needed, so, yes, to live outside the law you must be honest. One of the greatest things, Bob ever said.

Spaw, I don't quite agree about the Pat Garret and Billy the Kid soundtrack. I find it quite agreeable. As for the movie, it's weird, but has a few neat moments. Not a terribly good film, but kind of memorable in its own way. Bob's character "Alias" was originally intended to play a much more significant role, as was his music, but it got all cut up by the Hollywood people, and bastardized out of all context, so only fragments remained of what could have been. Kristofferson, also, was miscast, I think. They shoulda had someone else play Billy. James Coburn was excellent, as usual.

I like "Dylan and the Dead". I like "Planet Waves". I even like "Real Live". Hell, I even like Self Portrait. But that's me. I love Bob so much I probably would buy a bootleg of him snoring on the bus between Spokane and Yreka...
