Dave sez it's a Dylan set, which kinda surprises me, I don't think they did this when he was 60 (and I wasn't here in May '91 for his 50th). But when he's 64... they decide to do a tribute. Odd. Maybe KFOG has decided us geezers are a desirable demo.
In any case, I'd've loved to have heard mshray's "harmonica set".

Well yesterday I called in my vote for Angel Bofill, and took a moment to ask Dave if he'd be doing anything for Dylan's b-day. Dave was actually a bit chatty though and told me that it just depended on his mood when he prepares the set the night before. I was hoping that he'd recall (without being reminded) my earlier request last week for a harmonica set. My thinking was that if I just said I was the same guy who'd called it would come across as 'nagging' and defeat the purpose. So I outsmarted myself & now we're getting a straight Dylan set, not that I'm complaining too much.
-
Pretenders "Forever Young"
indeed!
He called it an "all-Dylan" set but I suspect that includes covers. If so I'm sure we'll get Manfred Mann and Madeline Peyroux. Little Steven's tribute to Dylan Sunday nite was pretty fab and is available on his website. Highly recommended, as I seem to say every week.

Anyone listening around 7:30 this morning when Fogheads were invited to call in with commencement speaker stories? My tale was played back.

meeting w/professor at 10. Please leave copious notes about what was played! Maybe even use the subject line?
I think Dave should play "Desolation Row" just to watch Gregg squirm!

I'm hoping for Loudon Wainwright's "Talking New Bob Dylan", which he wrote when Mr Zimmerman was 50. ( I guess "Lily, Rosemary & the Jack of Hearts" is out of the question.)

If we're hearing covers, I'd love to hear Manfred Mann's version of You Angel You. Not holding my breath though.

So, my roommate lent me her copy of Dylan Country- Dylan songs covered by country stars like Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash & Buck Owens.
I haven't listened to it yet. Is it any good?

By definition, it's gotta be good IMHO.

My favorite Dylan tune (I'm a casual fan, so don't judge me too hard), so BOS. Love the Hendrix version from the Monterey festival. (I had the cassette -- side A is Otis Redding, side B Hendrix. Just awesome. Includes Otis covering "Satifaction," not really knowing the words, as if it mattered.)
-
Starting off with the song that got everyone all up in arms, Like A Rolling Stone. I'm wondering if this is a remastered version--for some reason I'm hearing the piano in the left channel much more clearly than I ever remember hearing it before.

We had the pleasure of a visiting scholar address us for 45 minutes on the subject of "Proper Managment of the World's Ocean Resources". The Dean of Students fell asleep in the front row on stage, and the only thing I can remember is towards the end when he said, "I'd also like to talk about proper management of the world's fresh water resources..." (and as he turned the page there was this totally audible sharp intake of breath from the audience) "...but time does not allow me to go into that here." (and then there was an even more audible sigh of relief from the audience).
Dave asked me what school it was & I told him Pacific Lutheran University in Tacome WA & he said, "Go..., what was your team name?"
So I had to tell him we were the Lutes, and did our cheer:
Lutefisk, Lutefisk
Lefsa, Lefsa
We're the mighty Lutherans
Ya Sure Ya Betcha
special frink points to anyone who knows what lutefisk & lefsa are.

Dylan trivia: "Napoleon in Rags" was a real person. Who was he?
I think it's Andy Warhol.
-
So, one of the freakiest covers of "All Along the Watchtower" I've ever heard was in a TV miniseries many years ago. Wild Palms.
Robert Morse plays an evil lounge singer (I know, I know- "Is there any other kind?") who at one point croons out a creepy, loungy-blue version.
-
Oh yeah, everybody must get stoned!
-
special frink points to anyone who knows what lutefisk & lefsa are.
Lutefisk is a sort of cured whitefish that's favored by Scandinavians. Very popular in some areas of Seattle, Minnesota and other areas with a large Scandiavian community. From what I gather it's ghastly.
No clue about lefsa tho--so do I only get half a frink point?
-

You are correct, sir! I never knew that, but Little Steven (again) talked about it a few weeks back -- Edie Sedgwick had a crush on Dylan, who tried to get her away from the Warhol camp. He despised Warhol. And Edie inspired several Dylan tunes, including "Leopardskin Pillbox Hat".

Must be another Scandinavian food product to accompany the fish.

No, you get a whole frink point, but the other frink point would've been yours if you knew that Lefsa is a kind of potato pancake, actually more like a tortilla. Bland white food, that's what the Norsky's love.

I LOVED that mini-series. Robert Morse was awesome. About half-way through, he gets killed. Fortunately, they can re-create him holographically. The head bad-guy comments "I like him better dead." (Or words to that effect.)
-
I've always liked this tune. Maybe because I can understand most of the lyrics.

A virtual Best of Dylan set. Nothing very obscure yet. Dave's probably saving something really out there for towards the end...
-

I should have known you woulda seen it, SciFi Rod! Yeah, it was pretty groovy.
Any TV miniseries that has Dana Delany, Bebe Neuwirth and Kim Cattrall all in one place can't be bad, that's fer sure.

well we've heard all the usual suspects now with "Tangled Up In Blue". What else is on tap?
I'm predicting "Subterranean Homesick Blues" & "Hurricane", but hoping for "Liliy, Rosemary & the Jack Of Hearts" or any other cut form Blood On The Tracks (except "Idiot Wind" of course).

I'd like to hear "Mr. Tamborine Man," which I've renamed (in my mind) "Beej's Theme."
Sorry Beej. :lol:

And no covers, either, apparently. "4th Street" was the one that really opened my eyes, when I was about 13.

Rod, I'd say this deserves a JINX!!
Maybe we'll hear Gotta Serve Somebody--I imagine hearing Tangled Up... puts the kibosh on any chance of hearing Lily, Rosemary et al.

oo! I'll second that! You know the story about that, don'cha? It was on its way to becoming Dylan's biggest single in years, but then war broke out in Mozambique and radio stations stopped playing it. It stalled out in the 50s or so in Billboard.

Yep, my favorite all-time #54 song, beating out "And She Was" & "Let's Spend The Night Together".
The war was caused indirectly by the overthrow in Portugal of the world's last fascist regime (originally a puppet of Spain's Franco), and the subsequent withdrawal of all colonial government infrastructures from Angola, Cape Verde & Mozambique. The Angolan situation is still a mess 30 years on.

The Religious Right: Sure a few women & coloreds might be offended. But, darn it- we've got to protect the kids from profanity. I mean, they hear it on the streets, in their homes and on the playgrounds- why should we subject them to it in music?!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

kinda ironic that Robert Hunter wrote the lyrics for Silvio! Did Dave mention that?
And thank you kindly for the blow by blow. I walked into and out of campus with Desolation Row on my iPod to keep in the spirit, as I parked the car with Like a Rolling Stone blaring, and me wailing out the window!

You looked so fine, didn't you?

there was indeed a rap version (done as a sort of joke, it seemed to me) about a dozen years ago by a group called The Mystery Tramps.

I looked on iTunes, didn't find the Mystery Tramps, but did find covers by Dino, Desi, and Billy; Micael Bolton; Young Rascals; Judy Collins, The Undisputed Truth; Robyn Hitchcock.
I have vinyl at home of Rotary Connection (w/Minnie Ripperton) doing a cover, and I'd love to find that cassette that I've got a great vesion of Spirit doing it (from their Spirit of '76 album)
Anyone else got a favorite LARS cover?

That wild and wacky Dylan! Two totally different versions of Forever Young on the same album!

Caught the replay. (I'd been on jury duty the past two days, hence my absence from real-time interplay.) Hard to knock any of Dave's choices, though from this set you'd not know he's recorded in the past 25 years, and so I kind of which Dave had included "Jokerman" and "Things Have Changed" for historical overview.
Mike: How did "Hurricane" do in the NYC market when it came out? I can't imagine NY/NJ cops took kindly to being called out, and NY in general doesn't seem to like anything that disparages the police ...
Gaz, who isn't much of a "Mozambique" fan, though that just might be the only chart hit with both a "z" and a "q" in the title.

And Dave's played "Forever Young" at least once before; it's on a 1974 set that Alicat recorded for me a year or two ago. :)

Id've liked "Things Have Changed" too (kinda expected it, in fact). But "Silvio" is from '88, so... 17 years. "Hurricane" got a great deal of prog FM play at the time, but Top 40 didn't go near it. Same with "George Jackson" a few years earlier -- there's a lost Top 40 hit that needs to be unearthed!
-
I've never heard "George Jackson," sad to admit. Didn't know "Silvio" was '88 -- I had assumed early '80s since I associate it with "Jokerman" and "Brownsville Girl" (idiosyncratic, but there you have it).
-
Well I now have the answer to a question we've all asked: What does Big Rick do for the BOS Replay when there's a ten-way tie?
Dave actually recorded a bit for Rick, where he said that there was a ten-way tie but after some discussion they decided that one song really deserved an extra listen, and it was...
"Silvio"

"George Jackson" was one of his most political songs in ages at that time ('72) and I was amazed that it got as high as #33...
I woke up this mornin',
There were tears in my bed.
They killed a man I really loved
Shot him through the head.
Lord, Lord, They cut George Jackson down.
Lord, Lord, They laid him in the ground.
Sent him off to prison
For a seventy-dollar robbery.
Closed the door behind him
And they threw away the key.
Lord, Lord, They cut George Jackson down.
Lord, Lord, They laid him in the ground.
He wouldn't take shit from no one
He wouldn't bow down or kneel.
Authorities, they hated him
Because he was just too real.
Lord, Lord, They cut George Jackson down.
Lord, Lord, They laid him in the ground.
Prison guards, they cursed him
As they watched him from above
But they were frightened of his power
They were scared of his love.
Lord, Lord, So they cut George Jackson down.
Lord, Lord, They laid him in the ground.
Sometimes I think this whole world
Is one big prison yard.
Some of us are prisoners
The rest of us are guards.
Lord, Lord, They cut George Jackson down.
Lord, Lord, They laid him in the ground.

Or just get Biograph for a good overview.

"New Morning" is a personal fave, one that doesn't get much mention. And "Nashville Skyline" for Johnny Cash alone. But yeah, "Biograph" is probably the way to go. urth, is "Watching the River Flow" on "Biograph"? One of the best singles ever to peak at #41 (at least I think it peaked there).
-

Number one should be Highway 61 Revisited, but is not all-emcompassing by a long shot. The first Greatest Hits set is pretty good is scanning over the era from the beginning to Blonde on Blonde, but leaves so much out, it's hard to say. Even though I would say his stuff declined after Blonde on Blonde, he had lots of great moments throughout his career. Nashville Skyline is funny and tender at the same time.
Too many good songs, I give up!

Don't think it is, which is a glaring omission as it is indeed a great song regardless of chart position. I remember being quite thrilled the one time I saw Dylan perform it, in Eugene in '87 with the Dead.

Hey, wasn't Biograph the first major retrospective boxed set? They seem so common now, but at the time I remember thinking, wow, only a big fan is going to feel like they have to have that. Little did I know how many Big Fans there were out there.
So I'll throw this out for discussion: what was your first boxed set? Mine was the Springsteen Live box that came out in time for Xmas 86, I think.

Does my ancient box set of Jimi Hendrix vinyl LP's count? I believe they're German or UK Polydor label. I have no idea; that was a long time ago.
-
My first box set would be the uber-awesome DEVO collection: Pioneers Who Got Scalped.
Well, OK- it's only 2 CDs- but they cram a LOT on there! And the cover of the CD case is in 3D! How cool is that?
-

Mine was Clapton's Crossroads, and a year later I got the Allman's Dreams. I didn't get Biograph until after that. But I don't think the Bruce really counts, it was not primarily marketed as a CD collection, nor was it a career retrospective.
Here's what Allmusic has to say about it:
Crossroads not only revitalized Clapton's commercial standing, but it established the rock & roll multi-disc box set retrospective as a commercially viable proposition. Bob Dylan's Biograph was successful two years before the release of Crossroads, but Clapton's set was a bona fide blockbuster.

By no small coincidence, I made this discovery last night as well, while going thru some cassettes of 10@10s I hadn't looked at for awhile. December 10, 2003 I think mine was--I'd completely forgotten (not surprising).
-

On cassette: Paul Revere & the Raiders.
On CD: Marvin Gaye.
Weirdly, I hardly own any box sets. Marvin, Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith (both of which I bought for research and barely play), Steely Dan, and Buddah Records are the only boxes I own.

Uhhh, it came in a box, and it's a set of four vinyl discs. I always assumed that made it a boxed set.
-
Not sure. I want to say Bruce too but I'm sure my Bruce was a set of cassettes. My vinyl is boxed up in the rafters in the garage. I keep thinking about getting it down to go through but never seem to get to it.

Hmmm, does Neil Young's "Decade" count? If so, then that would be it, a 3 record set on vinyl.
Otherwise, either the Allman Bros Dreams or Clapton Crossroads on Cassette. Can't remember which came first.
-
Mine was Clapton's Crossroads, and a year later I got the Allman's Dreams.
How do you remember this stuff? Anything that I did more than a month or so in the past becomes all muddled and intermixed. Do you keep a diary?

No but I used to move around A LOT, so If I have a place-specific memory (and especially an apartment-specific memory) that usually narrows things down to less than a 12 month period. So I know I had Clapton while still living in San Diego, but it only came out in 1988, and I had the Allmans in my first apartment in Santa Barbara, so that had to be 1989.
(between age 16 & 28 I never lived at any single address for as much as 12 months consecutively).
