I never cared much for Dylan’s vocals but he wrote some really great songs. Lewis ought to hire someone to kick him in the arse. IMO
never liked his music, so missed nothing.
Forget the tape. All you need is the manuscript.
I have Always liked Bob Dylan. As I’ve gotten older, I have discovered many songs that were covered by other people that he wrote. Very very beautiful songs Adele’s huge hit “Make You Feel My Love.” Manfred Mann’s “The Mighty Quinn” and many younger singers are covering a haunting song about depression titled “Not Dark Yet.”
It’s probably not the only copy. If Huey was still news, he would ask Bob for another tape.
What a Pinhead.
He also noted that he probably played the tape for his bandmates at the time, but can't recall why he never recorded the track.
It must have been too darned loud.
I would have ‘lost’ it, too. I grew up in a town near Dylan’s hometown and lived on 5th Street in college, one block up from his “Positively Fourth Street”. That all should have made me a fan...I wasn’t. He was a terrible singer, to me. Some said, “Yes, but he was a great poet.” I’ve never been impressed with poetry, either. When I write something, I’d like readers to say: “Oh, I didn’t know that.” When I read poetry, I mostly say “What did he mean by that?” To me, life’s to short to waste time trying to figure out the meaning of obscure words jumbled up into obscure sentences, just because they sometimes rhyme.
