Thanks for posting this. I had no idea he was 84.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

One of my all time favorite songs is:

Lilly, Rosemary, & The Jack Of Hearts.

Enjoy

An interesting take.

[BipolarBob]

I’m glad this wasn’t about Mulvaney. (no pics please)

[dadfly]

gosh i still like that song: If Not for You. Olivia Newton-John from your neck of the woods did a great cover. great pop/rock song from a folkie. Zimmerman is a very talented song smith.

Bob was a hero of my two musical heroues, Al Stewart and Harry Chapin. Happy 84th Bob! 😁

The most influential fellow Gemini in my life. Saw him as an all acoustic folk performer and on the very first electric tour (with boos from the crowd). The drummer said “Anyone on that first electric tour saw history. He was creating the new sound of popular music for the future on that tour.” Was one of the lucky people to see him on the 1974 comeback tour which had over 20 million people in the US attempt to get tickets. 40 sports arenas sold out. Mafia was in control of the scalping in Michigan and Bill Graham went onstage to announce the scandal. My wife and I (girlfriend then) were in the audience.

When I bought his second album back then I would have never dreamed he would be 84 now and I’ll be 79 shortly. Have 100% of the songs and bootlegs and interview CDs. Have over 100 books about him (counted them last year so have more now.)

May God bless him with more life.

I don’t think so.

Dylan at 84 isn’t pretty.

But then Dylan at 20 wasn’t either.

But his works are.

I saw him in concert in the 60’s at Chicago’s Orchestra Hall. He had the audience in his hands. He moved one slightly and the entire hall went silent. Respect like I’ve never seen at any other concert. Deeply impressed. Loved him from his first album.

Trump is the New Dylan

I don't know if he is or not, but I hope he has a better singing voice.

[Fresh Wind]

The song our masters didn’t want us to hear:

I will not go down under the ground
’Cause somebody tells me that death’s comin’ ’round
An’ I will not carry myself down to die
When I go to my grave my head will be high
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground

There’s been rumors of war and wars that have been
The meaning of life has been lost in the wind
And some people thinkin’ that the end is close by
’Stead of learnin’ to live they are learnin’ to die
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground

I don’t know if I’m smart but I think I can see
When someone is pullin’ the wool over me
And if this war comes and death’s all around
Let me die on this land ’fore I die underground
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground

There’s always been people that have to cause fear
They’ve been talking of the war now for many long years
I have read all their statements and I’ve not said a word
But now Lawd God, let my poor voice be heard
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground

If I had rubies and riches and crowns
I’d buy the whole world and change things around
I’d throw all the guns and the tanks in the sea
For they are mistakes of a past history
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground

Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
Let the smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground

Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this union seep down deep in your souls
And you’ll die in your footsteps
Before you go down under the ground

47 is Trump’s Sgt. Pepper. /s

[Don@VB]

I’d like to see Trump open his rallies with Dylan’s version of “The Times, They Are a Changing”

[Racketeer]

Liberals love Shakespeare, too.

[Lisbon1940]

Del McCoury’s recording of “The Times They Are A’Changin’ is causing me to rethink everything.

Dylan was a sad and philosophic balladeer in a time of intense action and upheaval. The opposite of Trump. Trump is more Peter Townshend.
