1976. Hard Rain.



"come in she said I'll give ya
shelter from the storm..."

Happy birthday, Bob.

Thanks, subby, I enjoyed that.

He's a spry 67.
Favorite Dylan song: It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry

/honorable mention

Oh, you mean Uncle Robert?

/if it's obscure I'm outa here...

Happy Birthday, Bob

(DWTFV cuz I am SICK of that farking song.)

Happy Birthday, Bob!

Keep up the good work!

Subby here..as corrected in the link this is indeed Dylan at the'63 festival.

The '65 festival whas when he shocked the fans by "plugging in". Here's a clip from that yearLike A Rollin Stone

Cheers, and happy birthday Bob

beautiful.

Great find, subby. You can really hear Joan Baez belting it out.

Man, he's been through like 6 lifetimes since that clip. Go Bob.

Here's to you, Mr. Annoying & Overrated.

Hetfield: Here's to you, Mr. Annoying & Overrated.

I saw him at ACL last year. He has no voice anymore. Sounded like cookie monster. Everyone there pretty much left when they heard how bad his voice sounds. I don't get why he keeps doing shows. It's pretty sad to see.

You must have seen a bad show, or late in the tour.

The last two times I saw him, he was excellent.

Tommy Chongs 70 today but I'm to lazy to submit anything.

He's proud of you for that, I'm sure.

I've got to agree that his voice is getting a ragged. I've seen him several times over the last couple of years and it's just not good. Too many years of chain smoking.

should read, "...a bit ragged."

Yep, heard him at Jones Beach last year. Just plain awful. He was completely lost to his band. Through some great music you could hear something like this:

Mehhhh Guurrrrr Rrrreeeeee Unnnnnggg Sep Toe Fraaaahhhn
An I hhooo jooo luhhhhh

Terrible.

tofarkornottofark: Mehhhh Guurrrrr Rrrreeeeee Unnnnnggg Sep Toe Fraaaahhhn
An I hhooo jooo luhhhhh

Otherwise known as "Terri Schiavo - The Musical".

Thanks Bob!

I pine for the days when he sang like a choirboy too.

Happy birthday captain sellout.

Did anyone else think that was kind of awful?

Don't get me wrong, love all those guys, but it was not the best singalong I've ever heard. Bob was way too loud in comparison to the rest, and his style clashes with everyone else's--has that talkie-geezer chic thing going on. And then there's Joanie warbling in the background like Maria Callas, and PP&M attempting harmony, but their version has more chords in it, so they're singing notes that don't really mesh.

I mean, I'm sure it was fun at the time, but yeesh--glad they all had their separate versions of that song.

Here's the "Judas!" clip featured at the end of Scorsese's No Direction Home documentary.

He plays rough!

He wrote the greatest lyric in rock n roll:

The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face.

/close 2nd: "Yeah yeah yeah"
//thanks, Bob

Someone yelled that at Tom Morello (who was doing his acoustic Nightwatchman thing) when I saw him at the Newport Folk Festival last summer. Funny stuff.

Of course, this is one opinion among billions, but Dylan's voice is, and always has been, nothing short of unbearable. I can't stand listening to it. The storytelling aspect of his work is phenomenal, however. He's made a good living at being unique, that's for sure.

/not dissin'
//just sayin'

67? That's funny, he doesn't look a day over 85.

/yeah, I have plenty of his albums
//I didn't say CD's. I said record albums.

I actually like his 1960s voice. He's not an American Idol-style singer, that's for sure, but his voice fits his songs like no one else does.

/different strokes, etc.

soy_bomb: He plays rough!

If that's not AW'ing, I don't know what is. Way to go, asshat.
