Tues 5/24/05 -- Bob Dylan's B-Day!
« on: May 24, 2005, 07:54:24 AM »
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.

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.

Song #1 -- Like a Rolling Stone

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.
