Thanks a lot! Love that alternative version of "Union Sundown" with the additional "man in a mask in the White House" verse! Btw the story that Dylan did not rehearse "Don't Start Me Talking" for the Letterman Show appearance is a myth. There is a tape of Dylan and his band (LA punk band The Plugz) rehearsing at Dylan's home studio before the show. They run through that song several times. And do you know that The Plugz' drummer Charlie Quintana joined Dylan's band for most of the 1992 shows?AVOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00819727162700776658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-7726257284709374752009-08-19T15:40:13.470-07:002009-08-19T15:40:13.470-07:00Man of Peace is a pretty damn great song.

It really is something else.<br /><br />Agreed with Lord Protect My Child. I can't remember who did that album of Dylan gospel songs in a more gospelly vein, but they do translate incredibly well. The man wrote some damn good songs about God.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613923038816299394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-74479225579866211582009-08-19T11:41:35.871-07:002009-08-19T11:41:35.871-07:00I knew you'd show up eventually, Tony!
Howeve...I knew you'd show up eventually, Tony!<br /><br />However -- if License to Kill is a classic, then isn't Man Of Peace one also? (I greatly prefer MoP.)<br /><br />***<br /><br />Dylan could have made a nice double album with what he recorded at these sessions. Of course, then the argument would have been: "if he had only cut it down to a single record, it would have been a gem"!<br /><br />Blind Willie McTell is amazing, but Lord Protect My Child impresses me every time I hear it. Dylan's voice is (err, was) amazingly expressive, but someone with some serious gospel pipes could sent that song into the stratosphere.<br /><br />And while the lyrics to Neighbourhood Bully are annoying at best and offensive and ignorant at worst, the outtakes rock like a motherfucker.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-39576153527375998552009-08-19T06:38:40.858-07:002009-08-19T06:38:40.858-07:00I was out of commission until last night moving in...I was out of commission until last night moving into my new place in SD, so I wasn't able to see this post and give props for the plug until today. So thank you, Allan; I totally appreciate your support and readership.<br /><br />Lord knows I wish Bob had put the Bootleg Series outtakes on here, but this album still has some great stuff on it (I agree with Allan that it basically ended Dylan's 2nd peak). Jokerman, License to Kill, and I & I are classics, IMO. I urge all of you to check out the Letterman performance Allan linked to - simply awesome takes on the two best Infidels songs. It'll make you hate Real Live that much more, I'll tell you that.<br /><br />BTW, that news story is hilarious - I used to read about Bob just wandering around in fields and biking around and shit during the Never Ending Tour, off by his lonesome. It's actually kinda surprising that he hasn't been picked up by the law more often.<br /><br />If any of you listen to any of these songs, please let it be Blind Willie McTell. It's one of Bob's five best songs, without question. And if any phrase has ever said a lot, that one says a lot.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613923038816299394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-68158316211075924032009-08-18T21:05:47.094-07:002009-08-18T21:05:47.094-07:00I was waiting to comment till I posted this:

Oddly enough, the night we were ...I love the clip!<br /><br />Oddly enough, the night we were at JoS1 in Boston, my son was watching Bob, along with John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson in Raleigh. I won tickets to the show by having a horrendous round of r&r trivia vs. the morning expert on our local rock station. My personal worst against him. The tickets were the "just for playing" prize. I would have loved to go to the show myself, but I had a prior engagement, ya know. In Boston, ya know.<br />Timmy said it was a great show, but he couldn't understand a word Bob said. I said "oh, sounds like he was in perfect form" :) <br />PS - BDL had a guest guitarist with them tonight - a slide blues virtuoso. Killer!<br />His regular band is opening for Hot Tuna next week in Charlotte, and IF the opening act gets a guest list - I'm on it! I'll know Monday. If so I'll probably get to meet Jorma.

One of the occupants even went so far as to follow Dylan as he continued on down the street. ...<br /><br />"I asked him what his name was and he said, 'Bob Dylan,' Buble said. "Now, I've seen pictures of Bob Dylan from a long time ago and he didn't look like Bob Dylan to me at all. He was wearing black sweatpants tucked into black rain boots, and two raincoats with the hood pulled down over his head. ...<br /><br />"We see a lot of people on our beat, and I wasn't sure if he came from one of our hospitals or something," Buble said. ...<br /><br />"He was acting very suspicious," Buble said. "Not delusional, just suspicious. You know, it was pouring rain and everything." ...<br /><br />"I got out of my car and said, "Sarg, this guy says he's Bob Dylan,'" Buble said. "He opened the car door, looked in, and said, 'That's not Bob Dylan.'" <br />*****<br /><br />He's not there.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-53702410491163303042009-08-17T06:40:13.863-07:002009-08-17T06:40:13.863-07:00Dja see the piece in today's paper about the c...Dja see the piece in today's paper about the cops in NJ who stopped him, made nothing of his name so demanded ID, and when he couldn't produce it whisked him off to the concert venue for verification?johngoldfinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322562737172405323noreply@blogger.com
