Well, I found just about the whole album UtRS unlistenable.  It's not
just irritating, it's embarrassing. "You mean you like this stuff?" as
one friend put it to me....

	   I think most people who really resonate with Dylan lyrics would
   enjoy the album, "Songs of Leonard Cohon" by (you guessed it) Leonard
   Cohon.  The first track, "Susanne" is in the Norton Anthology of
   Poetry as "Susanne Takes You Down".  The album is chock full of really
   great songs.  Great lyrics, but also in a genuinely palatable musical
   setting.

That's Cohen, not Cohon. And he started writing poetry (and then
setting some to music) after hearing Dylan (minor factlet, not sure
where I picked it up from).

Alright, I like some of the songs mentioned here and some a lot (Is Your
Love in Vain?), but part of me agrees with the people who find them
irritating.  But Sad-Eyed Lady?  This makes it, without a doubt, into my
top-ten-Dylan-songs list.  It'll make into the top five most days of the
week, and when I listen to it, I can't help think it could possibly be
his best.  (I realize the seriousness of what I'm saying - maybe it's

technical details - a am sending the files from the ftp site to a IBM mainframe

Any ideas?

P.S. I thought when I first got an Internet id I thought I would just use it
to find academic, and technical info.  instead I found a group who share my
excitement about the only true artist ever to strap on a Stratocaster (or
whatever type of guitar he plays).

By the way, I thought last night's show was tremendous.  Bob seemed to
give a damn, and it showed in every way; his singing was good, his
guitar playing was good, and he was really directing the band to
excellent effect.  The man really seems in control!  I'm really
excited about the rest of the shows; catch them if you can.

I heard that the first Toronto show was less than well received by some 
local newpaper critics and in the second show during Ballad of a Thin Man
Dylan substituted the critic's name for MR. Jones. Anybody know if this is
true and if so, has it happened before ?

According to the Rolling Tomes hotline it looks like the "SUPER STAR"
tribute show is on for mid-october at the Beacon Theather. Possible
appearances by Petty, Bruce, Neil Young, & Bono. The show is also to be
available thru pay-per-view.

I think it was here that I read something about BoB being reissued to include
some material that was lost due to early fades on the original CD version of
this album. Since I was about to replace my vinyl copy, I was interested to
know the facts. I have been away from the net for a few weeks and thus have
missed any definitive answers (if indeed there were any).

Out of curiosity, I got a record store to put a shop copy in their CD player.
It gave a total time of 71m 13s (or 33s - i can't quite recall). When I got
home I played my abums and timed them. I came up with high 72's/low 73's. The
inaccuracy due to run in/run out grooves and possibly marginally slow turn
table (though I doubt the latter) may, at a stretch, account for 1.5 to 2
minutes. However I'd like to know if anyone has a definitive answer. Sony
has been remastering a lot (all?) of the Dylan catalogue, and fixing a lot
of shoddy work - Masterpieces is an excellent example, so it wouldn't 
surprise me if this were true.

If it is, I would appreciate the running times and catalogue numbers of BOTH
versions.

Thanks in advance

Amen to that.  I wish I had Infidels on CD for that reason.  I also don't

Rainy Day Women (even live versions)

A CD available here at the moment is called Amazing Stories by the

The blurb inside the cover says, "..[this recording], more an
opportunity to pay homage to some of the great writers of our time. The
Revelators were formed out of a desire to keep this music alive.."

Some of the songs are by Van Morrison, Muddy Waters and His Bobness. The
interesting aspect of the Dylan song is what was chosen - Caribbean
Wind. A very nice version too. It is the version from Biograph, with one
verse omitted, I think it was the last. Definitely worth a listen.

In the Springsteen list there is a reprint of a New Yorker article concerning
the Boss' current music. There is a lengthy expose of Dylan in which it says:

Perhaps some history would be useful here, because history is crucial
to understanding the trajectory of Bruce Springsteen's career -- possibly 
more than it is with any other performer.  Ton contrast Springsteen with 
another singer/songwriter/icon:  the fact that Bob Dylan is a Jew from 
Hibbling, Minnesota, who arrived in Greenwich Village determined to be 
Woody Guthrie and instead became an "unwashed phenomenon"  -- as his
sometime love, Joan Baez, once called him in a song -- is an interesting
detail for Dylan fans to know, but it has never seemed central to his
music, because any one of his albums or any one of his songs can function
as well in isolation as it does in the context of the rest of his work.  The
myth of Dylan, while formidable, derives mainly from his misogyny, mis-
anthrophy, alienation, and strange dislikeableness; [This is not what I
hear from most Dylan fans...anyone out there care to comment on this
interesting statement? --LPW]  D. A. Pennebaker's documentary about Dylan's
1965 British tour, "Don't Look Back," presented him as a difficult, ob-
noxious person.  Bob Dylan has always been a performer who functions at a
remove from his audience, doing his own odd thing in his own odd world.
While many of his songs are autobiographical and heartbreaking, in many
others his attitude makes him the original punk rocker, a singer whose 
sneering snideness -- think of the acidic condescension of "Positively
4th Street" or "Like a Rolling Stone" --  -- has much more in common with
Johnny Rotten than with a sensitive crooner like James Taylor. 

"LPW" is the person who posted the article and her question does seem to
be interesting. The reasons the author gives for Dylan's success are
indeed very strange.
