Lil and I saw Dylan in July (with Mellencamp and Willie Nelson). My question would be....how could you tell that he was singing that song?
Often we didn’t recognize a song until we could pick out a few words in his mumbling ejaculations like hearing the words “rolling stone” and figuring he must be singing “Like a Rolling Stone”..even though you’d never know it by listening to the arrangement.
I love Bob, but wow.
It ain’t easy. I grant you that.
SirKit and I saw him live in Hattiesburg MS, in 1976, when he was touring with the Rolling Thunder Revue. Apart from his performance, he spoke two words to the audience the entire night. At the end of his last song, he leaned into the mike and said "Thank You". It was a great show, though!
