I knew you couldn't resist Dylan, Leif

I've got every album and track, bootleg and legal, he did thru '66 when he went straight! I still find them as fresh and original today as 40 years ago. Which is more than they can say about me!

LOL Ian -- Lets see, I could tell you about a rather statuesque DanAir Hostie

Leif

Yes - you have mentioned your S.O. DanAir lady and your mini-cooper, but not the fourposter in Amsterdam and the handcuffs!

Oh, sorry. You never mentioned handcuffs at all, did you?

But Lay Lady Lay was a very special post 66, I admit.

But you do remember this? When sarcasm and bitterness became art?

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Whats really odd is when you look at Dylans Lyrics you "hear" them in his voice isnt it?
and never handcuffs - DA Hostie head scarves worked very well thank you

You're absolutely right! I was just going through them in my head and they only work if you sing them as Dylan. It was the anger and bitterness and irony he put into his words that brought them alive. Or if he was high and the words didn't make sense then they conjured up pictures in your head instead (Mr Tambourine Man?).

Slightly off track, but in a very similar vein to Dylan's early lyrics (but updated to 2007) is Lily Allen - have you heard her "Smile" and "ldn". They're brilliant.

Hmm...favourite album is very difficult.
I can narrow down my three favourite bands to

Rush
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd

Not always in that order.

Just recently, been listening to Counting Crows - August and Everything After.

Not listened to this in some years, but an awesome, moody album.

Regards

Kevin
