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.
AMEN!
From a fellow Gemini and also soon to be 79 y.o.
