Happy Birthday to Bob Dylan

Bob turns 67 today. I have always been a fan of older Dylan music but really enjoyed his release "Modern Times".

He's a genius with words if you ask me. My favorite Dylan song will always be "Just Like a Woman".

Do you have a favorite Dylan song? Do you listen to him now? Ever?

Thanks, Bob, for 50 great years of music with more to come....I hope!

Free CD

One catch - you have to review it on your blog! If you are interested in receiving the original soundtrack to "I'm Not There", let me know. I was asked to review it but simply don't have the energy right now.

STOP RIGHT NOW!

You need to stop what you are doing and head next door (in my mind it's next door) and visit Imagine Echoes - the Review for a review on "Modern Times", the new Dylan album.

I'm equally impressed with it as Jeff is.

Quote of the Day - Bob Dylan

"Each of us has his own special gift and you know this was meant to be true. And if you don't under estimate me, I won't under estimate you."

"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

"May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift. May you have a strong foundation, when the winds of change shift."

"You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live, when I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give. Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from my hole, quenched my thirst and satisfied the burning in my soul."

I was thinking about Bob today because a friend of mine, Izik, is a Dylan fan. Izik posted a really cool blog dedicated to his father who recently passed away so that's why he was on my mind.

A few years back Izik and I went to see Bob in concert. I remember asking him (he's in his 20's) how he came to like Dylan. He told me about how his parents listened to Dylan as long as he could remember and they instilled a love of music in him...and a special appreciation for Bob D.

Anyhow...these 2 quotes are to honor the memory of his dad, Skip.

Bob Dylan

I have hesitated at adding Bob Dylan to my site simply because he is such a legend that no words I can say will give him justice. His music and lyrics have inspired and influenced more musicians than any other individual.
