I tried to answer your message to your address, but it did not get thru,
so here it is, in response to your letter about the Dylan
autograph I saw.


The place I saw the Dylan autograph was Stars, 521 East Coope, Aspen, CO 81611,
phone (303) 920-2920.  I would be interested to find out if it is authentic,
if you get the copy from them.  I agree that since he is still alive, and
can sign more, that its  value is questionable, and I will probably not buy
it, but any additional information would be very interesting.

Is it the consensus (or just conventional) wisdom that somehow Dylan is
incompatible with the Grand Old Party? I don't want to inject politics
into this newsgroup, but I know several Republicans who feel quite at ease
admiring the work of Dylan. While I don't know for sure, somehow I doubt
if Dylan is a Democrat, and I'm quite sure he doesn't produce art for
their benefit alone. 

I really think it's better to leave political snipes on other more
appropriate newsgroups, but I wouldn't mind reading someone's attempt to
justify why Dylan's art is more consistent with one political bent or
another.

In a recent record by the white rap-group "Beastie Boys"
there is a "sample" from "Just like Tom Thumb's blues"
in one of the "songs". In the end of "Fingerlicking good"
you suddenly hear the familiar words "I'm going back to
New York City, I do believe I've had enough", sung by no other
than our hero.

I'd like to know if this is legal, or if this might be the result
of an agreement between the entertainers involved.
If not - are there any words out about legal actions?

Also - it would be intesresting to know if anything
like this has happened before.

Hello! I've been reading this newsgroup for a few months and really enjoy
the conversation and information. Probably none of you need any encouragement
to go to a Dylan concert, but being a veteran of about 15 over the past 14
years I would strongly advise anyone who has the chance to spend an evening
with Bob on the current tour to do so. I saw the recent shows 9/2-3 in the
Twin Cities and the 9/5 show in Omaha and the performances I saw transcend
my ability to heap praise on "His Bobness." (And those who know me know
that I have an immense ability to heap praise on His Bobness!)

WHAT!!! I loved the Dylan and the Dead version, ended up buying the album versioin (what is it on, Infidels? Hurricane is also on there).
That version is decent. The female's voice can get a little annoying though.

That scene was in the D.A. Pennebaker documentary "Don't Look Back",
about Bob's 1965 tour of England.

If I remember correctly the song in question was "Subterranean Homesick
Blues."

I rented a video of this film at the Blockbuster on Conn. Ave. in

Someone mentioned God on Our Side as the most annoying song on TIMES, well,
granted the song is soooo long, and can get very tiresome, it's just too
haunting for me to be irritating.

A few years ago, I was at a Dylan concert (he was playing with G.E. Smith
as his back-up) and I was really disappointed for most of the show. He was
rock-a-billying everything, and his voice sounded terrible. But for three
songs, the band went back stage and he stood out there with an acoustic.
Wow. For those few moments, I understood why I and so many others love the 
man, and would staunchly support his work. And of the three songs he did, 
"God on Our Side" stood out as very nearly magical. I'll never be able
to put that song on my annoying list for that reason alone.

To those who may be interested or blatantly curious,

     I don't believe, as it has been said before, that this newgroup
should be used for "political snipes" or other jargon.  I personally
don't believe that Bob Dylan follows any political party, and his
constant and sometimes shocking changes over the years have shown that.
     But certain songs of his are undenyably of the liberal persuasion,
which is a political bend associated with the Democratic Party. 
"Masters of War" and "Blowing in the Wind" and "With God on our Side"
are perhaps the three most moving and scathing anti-military and
anti-war songs of our time.  These songs certainly to not fit in with
the massive peacetime buildup of nuclear weapons by Republican
conservative Ronald Reagan and definitly do not relate to Mr. Desert
Storm himself, Conservative George Bush.  While there are Democrats who
support military over domestic policy and Republicans who support
domestic needs, pro-military has traditionally been a Republican stance. 
     And its these stereotypes that get us all into trouble and are
driving more and more people to become what they like to call
"Independent.", which is obviously what Bob's music is. He is
independent of the times and the traditions and in being so, creates
some of the most beautiful poetry and music every recorded.
     But I think everyone can agree that the peace, love, freedom, and
happiness that flows from the words of Bob's songs has been eroded over
the past decade by politicians and voters who have lost faith in ideals
and have put profits before people. This is a sad comment about what has
happened to all of the progress that was made in civil rights and
education.  Hopefully Washington will realize that what Bob sings is
really a cry from all of us, that really ignores the tangable borders of
political parties alltogether.
     Its a cry for understanding and community.
     If only we could all learn as much.

That musta been the only known stereo copy of the original _Freewheelin'_
LP.  The original was withdrawn shortly upon release due to the controversial
nature of 3 songs, one of which was "Talkin' John Birch Society Blues".  The
album was then re-released with those 3 songs replaced.

This particular album was found within the past year from a sidewalk vendor
in NYC (according to Goldmine).  As I recall, the initial appraisals put it
at about the $12-$15,000 range...

Mono copies of this album are also quite rare, although I don't know the
current value of one.

If your LP has "Talkin' John Birch..." on it, then you've got something!

   The rumours of an October 16th show at Madison Square Gardens persist. This
 show would be the 30th anniversary of Bob Dylan as a Columbia recording
 artist and would feature Robbie Robertson, jeez, probably tons of big
 names. I have heard that the Gardens have been held for that night even though
 nothing has been announced.
 
  My problem: I *really* want to take my girlfriend to the show (we're in 
 Toronto), but I have no idea how to go about getting tickets for something
 as special-event-like as this. Is there anyone else who is also interested in
 going that could possibly purchase tickets for me? Anyone with any ideas or
 suggestions as to how to actually get to this unique show..please post or
 write me. I'm afraid the show will be announced and sold out before it gets
 mentioned on the radio here...
 
  Thanks for all your help...it will be an amazing birthday present for her if
 I can swing it...
