However, he got straight to the heart of what made Cash great. Cash was essentially a more straightforward artist, but there was nobody else who could have done it and carried it off the way he did. He was the only country star I have ever really cared about. |

16 Oct 03 - 01:26 PM (#1036898) Subject: RE: Dylan on Johnny Cash From: PoppaGator Leo: I know what you mean, even though I don't agree completely. I've read and heard plenty from Dylan before that seemed *sincere* enough to me, but never anything so plainly and straightforwardly stated -- which makes it such a great tribute to Johnny Cash. When I first read the thread title, I immediately thought of Dylan's appearance on the Johnny Cash *TV show* back in about 1968. This was around the time of "Nashville Skyline," and to some fans, Bob's embrace of country music was more disturbing than his earlier move from acoustic to electric instrumentation had ever been. Back then, the evident friendship between these two huge artists helped many members of their respective followings to understand and respect each other (and thus understand more about human nature and about music). |

16 Oct 03 - 08:19 PM (#1037147) Subject: RE: Dylan on Johnny Cash From: Steve Latimer This is coming from someone who was a Johnny Cash fan long before I became a Dylan fan. I know that this thread is about Cash, but I have to say that Dylan's reverence of those who proceeded him is something else. He knows American Music, whether it be Cash, Hank, Woody, Robert Johnson, Bukka White, Robert Johnson or Ralph Stanley (who he said singing with was the high point in his career). Whether you like Bob or not, he listened to all of this stuff, was influenced by it and then went on to write the best songs ever to come from this continent. |

Those who don't like Dylan would probably not agree with that! |
