The Hour is getting late...
I was 21 years old. I had never been to a concert. I told my father that had he not failed to raise me properly, this tragedy would have been avoided. Now, I told him, I had to pop my concert cherry in a truly spectacular fashion. I showed him the ad: Bob Dylan and Paul Simon were on tour together. He laughed...
The next day my Step Mom handed us tickets...
The thing is, I've seen Dylan since then. Playing everything from huge stadiums to (I'm not making this up) the UC Davis gym. His style keeps evolving
Say what you will about Hendrix-- no homage to his genius could be complete enough-- Bob Dylan is a master. I will never get tired of hearing him play. And All Along the Watchtower will always rival Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 for the title of "music piece I find most moving"...
