The Bob Dylan appreciation thread

Blood on the Tracks rights should be worth £300,000,000 alone. 

 

I hope he spends it all on brass and brandy.

Also for any Nick Cave fans listen to “New Pony” on Street Legal, it’s basically “Jack the ripper”

Always thought “Street Legal” was criminally underrated, never in the conversation and it’s a beauty with two tracks on it that I believe are as good as anything he’s ever written.

‘Where are you tonight’ bangs.

Yes, that and “changing of the guards” are the two tracks I mean.

Cheap at twice the price, though I dread to think what tat it’ll be attached to now he’s ceded control.

Laxatives adverts with ‘Idiot wind’ or ‘Blowing in the wind’ playing over the top whilst an overweight American with hypertension explodes on the toilet I’m cool with though.

 

On the plus side, YouTube might get flooded with rare unofficial stuff now. There’s hardly anything on YouTube that isn’t official Bob.

There’s 600 songs in the package, so I think it’ll be pretty comprehensive. There was some talk about songs with The Band which were done as demo’s to try and sell on which might see the light of day, but I think most is already out there.

Audio possibly but there’s definitely a limited amount of video out there. Renaldo and Clara for example 

Can’t help but wonder why he’s cashing in his chips.

Obviously after hearing he lost to Bowie in the tournament he thought, ah, what's the point and decided to cash in as Bowie did.

This is great, not sure how long it will be on YouTube for.

new album reviews ain’t looking to shabby.

Rough and Rowdy Ways is a masterpiece, Key West is an incredible song and Murder Most Foul is mind-blowing.
