Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Apr 07 - 12:25 PM They are longtime friends, Dylan and Lightfoot. Interestingly enough, they were there together at that Mariposa in Toronto, back around '71, when Dylan had to flee the Toronto Island site on a boat to get away from an incredible mob of people who were trying to get close to him. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 17 Apr 07 - 09:41 AM Yeah, but WHICH Bobby? We're still working on that, aren't we? |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: *daylia* Date: 17 Apr 07 - 08:11 AM Oh wow, |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: 3refs Date: 17 Apr 07 - 07:42 AM Gordon Lightfoot announced as the headliner for Sunday's closing! Yesterdays local paper, The Packet and Times(Rackets and Crimes) says Gord is going to close out the week-end! Looks like Tudhope Park just might be the place to be that week-end! Welcome Home Gord!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Apr 07 - 11:29 AM I'd pay $10 to see that and get a chance to pelt him with rotten eggs when it was over... ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 16 Apr 07 - 11:25 AM "That's almost as sick as paying $350 to see Paul Anka." I don't know - I might pay $350 to watch him put on that shit-fit that was linked here a little while ago ... |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Apr 07 - 11:14 AM I've never had trouble understanding what Bob was saying...but it helps if you actually know the words of the songs, of course...which I do. As for Barbra, she isn't saying anything that interests me, sorry to say, so it's a moot point, isn't it? Look, if someone makes the decision to pay $350 for a concert ticket then they are pretty much emotionally obliged to enjoy it, aren't they? ;-) I think Barbra should ask $500 a ticket for her next show. Hell, how about $1,000 a ticket??? People would enjoy it even more. The sheer heady sense of exclusivity that comes with sitting in a $1,000 seat is a thrill that only a few people in this world will ever be entitled to. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Beer Date: 16 Apr 07 - 08:41 AM Interesting to note that Barbara still played to a full house and her fans were more than satisfied. I'm sure the audience could also understand the words she was singing. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Apr 07 - 12:00 AM That's almost as sick as paying $350 to see Paul Anka. Almost....... |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 15 Apr 07 - 10:27 PM If that were my sister, I'd be tempted to rob her - so that I'd have the means of taking care of her when she becomes destitute ... (Might as well be robbed by me as by Barbara Streisand - at least I'll take her in when she's homeless). |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: bobad Date: 15 Apr 07 - 09:38 PM My sister paid $350.00 US to see Barbara Streisand in Montreal a couple of months ago. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Beer Date: 15 Apr 07 - 09:35 PM The most I paid was for a Bruce Springsteen ticket about 10-15 years ago. $25.00 I think or around there. Got my money's worth though. I guess it's like the price of gas. By fall a dollar a liter would look like a good deal. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 15 Apr 07 - 09:28 PM Yeah, Bill, but do you remember how much the Eagles charged for their "Farewell Tour" awhile back? It was way more than $80. Things are getting very expensive out there. When I went to see Dylan the first time, in 1974, I paid $12...and I was shocked. It was by far the highest price I'd ever paid at that point in my life to see a musician. I was accustomed to paying $6 to $8 at most concerts. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Beer Date: 15 Apr 07 - 08:44 PM I think the tee shirt(new, never worn.) I have as a souvenir from his 1975 stop in Montreal is worth about 80 buck now. Maybe I should put it on e/Bay! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Bill D Date: 15 Apr 07 - 08:30 PM $80???!!! $80???....he's milking it. **NO** one is worth that price just to say they saw him. As soon as they move the ticket prices up in that range, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don't mind a famous artist making a better than average living, but if he's buying that expensive Scotch off the little guys tickets, he's drinking too much. who, me? Opinionated? ...naaawwwww.. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: bobad Date: 15 Apr 07 - 05:47 PM Dylan did back up Bobby Vee early in his carreer, so maybe........ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 15 Apr 07 - 05:39 PM Hmmm ... that GUEST's name was "Gord L." ... and he did say "Bobby" rather than the usual "Bob" - could that be a hint that we should expect Bobby Curtola? Bobby McGee? Bobby Clobber? Bobby Whatsername - Gentry? Bobby - who else? (Reasonable suppositions only, please). |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Beer Date: 15 Apr 07 - 03:55 PM Let's start a rummor... Lightfoot Mitchell Young |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 15 Apr 07 - 03:38 PM Do you know something we don't? Tell us - we won't tell anyone else, will we gang? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,Gord L. Date: 15 Apr 07 - 03:36 PM Take my word for it, there's going to be some surprises on stage when Bobby plays Orillia. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Apr 07 - 11:56 PM Geez! Me too. He was doing some killer stuff in '85. There's a great video of him with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as the backup band around that time...doing a big concert in Australia. It's called "Hard To Handle". |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,tolerance Date: 14 Apr 07 - 11:44 PM I wish I had seen him perform at that small tavern in Markham, Ontario back in '85 (or somewhere around then). It was one of those 'just droppin in' unexpected gigs. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Apr 07 - 11:36 PM I agree that his last CD is great. He's still a very fine songwriter. Not a has been by any means. I wish I'd seen him live in 1965. First time I saw him in concert was in 1974. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,tolerance Date: 14 Apr 07 - 11:34 PM I wouldn't really consider him passed his prime, meaning I don't think 'ol Bobby can be writtien off as a "has been". In fact I think his last cd is one of the finest he has put out. His voice certainly suits him at his age. But, with that all being said I'm afraid I wouldn't spend $80 buckaroos to see him perform. For that price I can buy a hand tooled leather guitar strap and one of his cd's at the used cd store. Anyway, I've seen him live way back in 1965. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Apr 07 - 11:23 PM Sure thing, eh? ;-) Yeah, I think $80 bucks is a lot too, considering that Bob is well past his prime at this point (his voice has really taken a beating in the last 10 years)...but I can't pass up seeing him in my own hometown. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 14 Apr 07 - 10:39 PM Let me know if he's coming to Pugwash, eh? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Beer Date: 14 Apr 07 - 09:36 PM PERFORM |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Beer Date: 14 Apr 07 - 09:34 PM Mr Dylan has always been a hero of sorts. But at $80.00 I'd rather buy a few (2) cases of beer. Don't get me wrong L/H., you are very fortunate to have him in your home town. I guess if he was going to preform in my spot of 1300 residing I would save my beer bottles and coke cans to go see him. Beer (adrien) |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 14 Apr 07 - 12:48 PM "Ohps Sorry! I meant Orillia of course!" And here I thought "Oriiia" was an expression of pleasure in your language ... Okay, now what does "ohps" mean? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,JB Date: 14 Apr 07 - 11:48 AM Ohps Sorry! I meant Orillia of course! JB |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,JB Date: 14 Apr 07 - 11:47 AM Oriiia, That`s where my hero Gordon Lightfoot comes from. Wouldn`t be surprised if Lightfoot joins him on stage for a song or two. JB |

Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Desdemona Date: 14 Apr 07 - 09:23 AM Yeah, and you never saw THEM together either, right?! Suspiciously, ~D |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Apr 07 - 11:10 PM I always thought that about Burl Ives and that Orangutan that was in the Clint Eastwood movies... I'm not sure of the date yet. I'll see if I can get some info. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Desdemona Date: 13 Apr 07 - 05:20 PM Good on you, such fun! What are the dates (I have some quasi-family up that way)? There's nothing like having your personal hero come to *you* for a change. Puts me in mind of the time I got to see Martin Carthy at a teensy club I frequent for $10, *and* he was only about 5 feet from my face! As for ol' Bob's personal appearance, his increasing resemblance to Vincent Price is rather, well, frightening...and isn't it funny how they never appeared together in public? Hmmmm... ~D |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 13 Apr 07 - 04:28 PM Yikes ... I think I'll take the pledge after all ... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Apr 07 - 04:24 PM Oh, I see... LOL! Yeah, you wouldn't want to end up with a damn pencil thin mustache, would you? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 13 Apr 07 - 04:20 PM Well, if it were, I might need to make a drastic change in my diet, that's all ... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Apr 07 - 04:14 PM Well, what if it were? Look, why don't you ask Bob the next time you get a chance? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 13 Apr 07 - 04:12 PM "I know that he smokes like a chimney and I've also heard that he drinks a lot of expensive Scotch whisky. That would be bound to have an effect after awhile." What if it were cheap whisky? I need to know. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Apr 07 - 02:53 PM I know that he smokes like a chimney and I've also heard that he drinks a lot of expensive Scotch whisky. That would be bound to have an effect after awhile. They once had a smoke-off between Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell to see who could injest more nicotine in a 24 hour period. The judges were unable to determine the winner because the air was so full of smoke by 6 PM that they couldn't see who was ahead...and the pile of butts around the contestants was so high by that point that no one could get near them. (That was a joke, okay?) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: *daylia* Date: 13 Apr 07 - 02:35 PM Hmmmm ... do you know if his decrepitnesses include food preference, Little Hawk? Obsessions for marinaded sauteed eelskins or the like? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Apr 07 - 02:34 PM As are most of us. He does look like the picture of Dorian Grey, though, doesn't he? Specially with that pencil thin mustache. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Amos Date: 13 Apr 07 - 01:17 PM And Dylan is a lot more decrepit than he was then, too. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Rapparee Date: 13 Apr 07 - 01:12 PM I thought Dylan Thomas was dead. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Apr 07 - 12:59 PM You're correct about the Toronto Island incident, which was '70 or '71, I think. However, things have mellowed a lot since then. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Apr 07 - 12:50 PM Yeah, what a coup that would be.... I gotta talk to Johnny Death and get tickets. He's Bob's other biggest fan besides me. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: GUEST,meself Date: 13 Apr 07 - 12:29 PM "People are wondering if he'll drop in at the Mariposa Folk Festival" I believe he did ONCE - and was heard to mutter "Never again", just before he jumped in the lake and swam away from the crush of fans (that was when it was one Toronto Island ... if that's what it's called ... ). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: catspaw49 Date: 13 Apr 07 - 12:22 PM Well shit on a stick. If you could get Shatner and Chongo there too, you'd have the trifecta. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Peace Date: 13 Apr 07 - 11:44 AM You have a ticket yet? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Apr 07 - 11:33 AM No doubt! LOL! But Shane is in Blind River, and that's way north of here. He might want to meet Chongo too. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Amos Date: 13 Apr 07 - 11:31 AM BE sure and introduce him to Shane. He wouldn't want to miss meeting Shane. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Apr 07 - 11:28 AM Lucky you! |
|
Subject: BS: Dylan coming to Orillia... From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Apr 07 - 11:26 AM By gosh, he's coming to my town. All those years of going to the mountain, and the mountain is coming to me. He's gonna play at Casino Rama in July. Who'da thunk it? Beauty, eh? ;-) People are wondering if he'll drop in at the Mariposa Folk Festival...my guess would be, probably not, but you never know. |
