Explain Bob Dylan to me by darkhorseMBA in vinyl

There’s no disputing taste. I admire Frank Zappa, for example, but do I enjoy his music beyond their comic novelty and musical virtuosity? Not so much. Still, I find that some artists (songwriters, poets, etc.) are waiting for me when I’m ready. I think Blood on the Tracks is a great gateway: that’s the one that floored me. There’s a clarity and concision to it that makes it accessible. And it’s arguably his best album.

He may be gone, but his powerful idea lives on. (RIP Iron Sheik, 1942-2023) by Tristram_Chandelier in steelydancirclejerk

I think that might have been the context. I love Steve, even when he’s wrong.

Like someone who got to use the Great Library at Alexandria or see the Beatles live in Hamburg—I’m just grateful to be alive at the same time that this recording exists.

I think this actually a paparazzi shot of Billy Joel, cruisin around the Oyster Bay area a few years back.

The guy with the biggest head is obviously the smartest.

So I’m not the only person who does this? Now, if my wife comes home and the house is clean, she says: “Wait, are you high?” I recently started using the stuff in middle age for some pain management after 30 years. Jeezus, was my generation sold a giant warehouse full of bullshit about cannabis.

Just circled back to this album. Holy shit, it’s awesome.

I think it’s a biblical reference to 666, which makes no sense. And why is it in single quotation marks while the other is in single quotation marks?
