Another side of Bob and more!

Well I sat by her side and for a while I tried
To make that girl my wife
She gave me her best advice and she said
Go home and lead a quiet life

Notes and links ...4:01 pm

Thanks for the responses to my review (if you can call it that) of the Dylan show in Bridgeport (“Monster”). People who’ve seen him lately seem to agree that Bob is in a special kind of groove right now. E.g., BabyBlue (who blogs) wrote:

I saw Bob a week ago Friday and it was the best I’ve seen of him yet - it was an amazing night and the audience apparently was 4,000 people over what is generally called “sold out” at the Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Another reader who saw him recently reports that Dylan was “boffo” and that he “seemed much more involved than he did when I saw him last year. Funny how that ebbs and flows.”

Looking for some shaky-camera YouTube clips from the current tour, about the best one I found was the following one of Workingman’s Blues #2 from the Austin City Limits festival. (Click here or play below.)

Thanks also to those who sent links to a couple of noteworthy recent articles on Dylan. In Crawdaddy, there is Bob Dylan: The Methuselah of Righteous Cool, by Greg Gaston (an appreciation of Bob’s radio show).

In Charlottesville’s Newsweekly, there is Dylan and God by John Whitehead. It’s basically an overview of Dylan’s entire career and one which makes some very perceptive connections.
