| The
most recent official book of lyrics. Shouldn't
everyone have it?
|
From
the Playboy 1966 interview to Robert Hilburn in
2004 and too many others to mention. Some people
see the contradictions, others the consistency.

Professor
Ricks's book seeks to alert you to things going
on in Dylan's lyrics that you didn't already know
about. One of the rare books that can expand your
enjoyment of his work. Zero small-minded sniping,
and no political agenda.

I'm
not a fan of most biographical works on Dylan,
with their tendency towards meanspiritedness and
gossipyness, but this book is different. It only
goes as far as the mid-1980s, but the access
Shelton had to Dylan in the earlier years is
unmatched.
|
A
great job of marshalling the facts relevant to
Dylan's "spiritual journey."
|
A
fascinating look at the Bible through a
collection of extracts from the work of Hebrew
Christian theologian Arnold Fruchtenbaum,
punctuated by canny Dylan quotes.
|
Gospel
singers from Shirley Caesar to Rance Allen
deliver heartfelt performances of Bob's gospel
songs. My favorite is Helen Baylor's What
Can I Do For You? And/or,
see the DVD that came out of the same project, at
right.
|
The
DVD version. As with the CD at left, highly
recommended.
|
If
you never acquired the remixed and remastered
version of this album, then what are you waiting
for? Unlike most vaunted reissues, this remix
(from 1999) really makes a difference to this
underrated album. (Now if they'd only do the same
for Saved.)
|
A
movie that has to be owned and watched repeatedly
to be fully enjoyed. Also excellent for repelling
unwelcome house-guests.
|
Stop
eating with your fingers. Forks, knives, spoons
-- everything you need for those fancy meals in
this stainless steel service for eight.

6
mega-pixels means mega-great photos, so long as
you point it in the right direction. (Or browse
Amazon for another camera that suits your taste.)
|
You've
been wanting a new computer, haven't you? A 250
GB hard drive, to hold all those digital
pictures. Why not buy two?
|
Delicious
and packed with Omega-3 nutrients to boot. Don't
let it go to waste.
|
Get
it while it's still legal.
