OY!!! And he looked so great in '65. Well, that's how it goes when you're housed in a physical body. I think he and Joni Mitchell should marry while there's still time, thus uniting two of the greatest songwriters and smokers of all time in an unforgettable combination.

I also think we should have a runoff vote between Bob and Spaw in the looks department. It would be tight. :-)

Well, he IS nearly 62 and has survived some debilitating physical traumas. And, I can identify with that.

He's still performing and cranking out music. I can't identify with that!

I don't care how he looks, I still love him!

Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew I had some other place to be
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

Hell, I'm 61 and have been through the mill m'self. Still, I've got to look 15 to 20 years younger than that !! Something's got to be eating him from the inside. Or, at least, that shot has been doctored. If it's real, that is very sad to see.

Give him a break....when you meet him at the Sally Ann, say: "Hey Bob, how do you manage to stay so slim.

Let's face it, Bob was never good looking, so he lost very little.
But I don't feel the need to see him; just to hear his songs.
And it must be 15 or 20 years since I last enjoyed his performance of his own songs; something has gone out of his delivery, for my taste. He still writes like the master he is, of course.
So let him write, and let others perform his stuff; and I will listen to my old vinyl and reconstituted CDs to remember and enjoy him as he was. Looking at him now simply reminds me of my own mortality - and I have plenty of reminders for that, I don't need to see my idols wither also.

This picture demonstrates that along with Highway 61, his Bobness is revisiting the 'Blonde on Blonde' period.

Somebody has Obviously Five Believers (sorry), nicked the picture out of his attic.

It could happen to anybody.

Best regards,

P.S. Now might be a good time to re-record 'Like A Strolling Bone','The Mighty Quiff' or It's All Over Now Baby Blue Rinse'.

P.P.S. And another thing. Speaking as the owner of a fine head of skin, he's got more hair now than I had when I was forty. He must be doing something right.

Was this picture taken in the middle of winter, in Utah, then?

Let's get a follow-up shot in the full bloom of Spring.

As far as comparing him with Joanie -- Ithink he rode his clutch a lot harder than she did hers, and ignored all the manufactuer's recommendations for appropriate chemicals to add to the system.

It's a good thing we don't value him for his looks!

The song "Your So Vain" is going through my mind now.

What is wrong with you people? If Dylan went the "Cher" route and had a couple of face lifts you would be on his case. Dylan, considering the medical problems he had, is actually in damn good shape. He may not look like Paul Newman, but who really gives a damn?

By the way, some of you that have posted above, have you taken a moment to look at the pictures you've posted here on Mudcat?   I hate to break it to you, but nobody here is going to win any beauty contests either.

Give Bob a break - he is 62, doesn't give a damn what he looks like, and he is having a great time from what I hear.   I think many of us would like to be in that position.

Aw come on! It's an awful picture, no doubt, but you gotta figure he was doing poorly in the unaccustomed winter cold of Utah. I guess it's kinda weird that he tried being blonde instead of gray, but I'll let him slide on the theory, "I guess that's show biz."

I can't believe he could have aged so badly since I saw him onstage just last year. He looked fine, exuded *plenty* of energy, and sounded great --indeed, maybe better than I've ever heard him, (Now, that's only a dozen or so times, starting in 1964. Even though I'm a great admirer of his, there have been times when I was disappointed with his perfomance -- but not recently.)

Who is in "The Dead" now? Last I heard, the surviving members were touring as "The Other Ones" and playing in a number of different combinations in a complicated little network of jammers. I have an urge to make some comment about the Grateful Dead, but also feel like "why bother?" I know some of y'all can't conceive of the GD as anything but a bad joke, in which case I have nothing to say, and others who dig 'em, recognize their folk-music roots among other admirable qualities, and I don't have much to add for you folks either.

For that matter, what can we really say about the master, Mr. Zimmerman? Joke around about his bad hair and all -- that works!

By the way, the wife and I *rarely* spring for those high-dollar concert tickets, but we are looking forward to next Saturday night when we'll be seeing Bob again, with the wonderful Lucinda Williams opening. I really don't want to believe he'll walk into the spotlight looking like this picture!

Hey, Ron Olesko...

Take off, eh? :-)

What has us all worried is that we glimpse our own mortality in the aging of our idols. It makes us a bit uncomfortable. I love Bob and I don't care what he looks like, but, if I may echo Suze Rotolo...she recently said (when asked what birthday present she would like to give Bob): "youth, good looks, and no more biographies".

I would love to see him again like he was in 65-66. Man, he looked amazing.

And hey, I'm not lookin' too bad for my 55 years of age. I put it down to not smoking, and never having been a Republican or a corporate lawyer... (grin)

RE: Dylan and the Dead

Just this minute got an email from BobDylan.com, releasing concert dates with "The Dead and Robert Hunter.' Just six dates in late summer: one in Florida, four in the midwest, one in upstate New York. That's all, folks!

No word on who now constitutes The Dead (surviving members plus...who?). For those who don't know, Robert Hunter is the longtime Grateful Dead lyricist, Jerry Garcia's songwriting partner -- *not* by any means a musician who will fill in the blanks left by Jerry's absence.

Hunter has recently become a personal hero of mine since I learned that he quit his modest solo-acoustic career due to arthiris of the fingers (an affliction I share), but was able to resume playing after starting on a glucosaine/chondrotin supplement (which works for me, too.)

Say, here's another thing that can cure arthritis...I speak from experience on this.

Stop eating most meat, particularly red meat. Try and limit it to just fish, if you can. Eat lots of vegetables and rice. Eat like a Japanese, in other words. Eat raw vegetables if you can. It also seems to help if you eliminate coffee and most sugar (which will confer a host of other benefits in any case...and help you avoid diabetes, in the case of the sugar).

I did this for a few months, completely curing the arthritis I was beginning to get in my knees. The cure took effect in a few weeks and has held for over five years now, even though I sometimes slide back into the meat-eating habit. I have totally stopped drinking coffee for good. But with the arthritis, the meat is the main thing, given my experience.

If the arthritis reappears, I know what to do about it.
