What's everybody's favorite Dylan era? Mine would be '65-66 after he went electric.

Same here, more or less: Bringing It All Back Home through John Wesley Harding.

Bought tell tale signs (89-06) the other day and it really is fantastic, especially 'miss the mississippi' and most of the time.

I`ve just seen the film on DVD called I Am Not There about Bob Dylan. The film is very strange, there`s no plot, no action, only some associasions with Bob`s songs. Very weird. I have to watch it again. One thing I am sure of is that Cate Blanchett`s acting is brilliant, all the gestures, the pose, even the voice are perfect. How does she manage it? And there are two minutes` of Beatlomania and our boys appearing on the screen. But don`t expect much, only a glimpse. Have you seen the film?

Andy Smith · « **Reply #148 on:** November 04, 2008, 12:14:35 AM »

yes, i saw the film, I Am Not There for the first time last week as i picked it up on dvd. i thought it was
quite brilliant, i love the way its made and Cate Blanchett is fantastic in it! it very weired comparing
her to Dylan in the way she looks. the bit with the fabs is wondeful & so funny! would Dylan make
a great 5th Beatle??

Damn, I love this performance of Like a Rolling Stone!! Dylan's as high as a kite but freaking passionate as hell. And The Band sounds amazing. Robbie at the end gave me chills!!!

Good to see a thread for the great man, the greatest artist of all time.

I love Dylan a lot. I've been to ten of his concerts between 1992-2007 (amazing that he makes it down here to Australia that often), and I've always been kind of awed and moved to tears just to be there in the room with him and hear him sing. But there has never been a concert that didn't involve some people walking out angry that he didn't perform such-and-such a song, or that it was just a 'jam session'. Seems to me that he's playing more for himself and his true fans than for the casual onlooker.

His new Christmas album has just come out (now that's a first). For the first time in years I'm not that interested in rushing out and buying a copy straight away, but since proceeds are going to help feed hungry people I guess I will eventually.

Another thing about Dylan - he really has opened up the world of music for me in a big way. I have the Beatles to thank for introducing me to Dylan, and I have Dylan to thank for introducing me to vast amounts of music that I now dearly love such as traditional folk, appalacian mountain ballads, country blues etc. The Carter Family, Leadbelly, Sleepy John Estes, Bukka White... I can't imagine going through life without hearing that stuff.

Thanks Bob!

I never thought i'd see the day when Bob Dylan would release a Christmas album. I'm interested in hearing it. I think it'll make a nice juxtaposition to my copy of Joan Baez's "Noel".

I heard excerpts from it on the radio. It sounds like a drunk whose wandered into a church on Xmas eve. Might be fun in a postmodern ironical aren't-we-clever-listening-to-this kind of way (of which I'm often guilty.) But I'd challenge anyone to say it's pleasant to listen to.

Mairi · « **Reply #157 on:** October 15, 2009, 03:24:27 PM »

Oh dear. I might like that if it actually was a drunk who wandered into a church... but i expect a bit more from Dylan. I don't know what to think of him nowadays. I don't think he knows what he's doing.

Has anyone been getting into Bob playing DJ on Theme Time Radio Hour? For those who don't know, it's a one hour radio show where he picks a theme (eg dogs, the bible, cars) and picks an eclectic range of songs from his own record collection that illustrate the theme. He also tells anecdotes about the (often obscure and interesting) artists on his playlist, tells jokes and is full of facts and figures about the theme in question. It ran for a couple of years on satellite radio until recently, but you can find episodes online if you look around.

Really that's my fave thing he's done in recent years. A completely entertaining musical education. Highly recommended!
