He’d never been that naked before. Desire is a great, great album.

Like they said about Orson Welles when he died, “Everyone will always owe him everything.”

One of my fave Dylan tracks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP70p8Ttvg4
Unfortunately “Isis” seems to not be on You Tube, only cover versions..

Visions of Johanna might be my favorite of his, but you know, it’s nearly impossible to say.

Thanks indeed, Bob.

Here’s my favorite cover of a Dylan tune.
Bryan Ferry “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall”

It’s just never apparent until it’s happening. It may be in a totally new medium.

Dylan has had and continues to have a profound impact on me and how I see the world. Thanks, Bob.

Our American treasures i.e. Dylan, Aretha, Neil Young (I know Canadian, but really), Chuck Berry, etc. are in their golden years. Who will replace them?
