He's still got it. Saw him today in Clemson SC, and even though his voice isnt really all there anymore, there is still something freakin awesome about Bob Dylan. And he plays mostly strats now.. I dont think I saw him with any acoustics tonights, but I was dancin/partyin. :lol:

Bobby Dylan did a little cameo on the TV show Pawn Stars. Any one else catch that?? It was pretty funny but very clearly very staged. Cool, none the less.

Bob's hands must have gotten better.When he did his tour a couple of years ago and came here,he played keyboards exclusively as the arthritis in his hands made it impossible to play guitar.That may be very well why he's playing Strats now as they are easier on the hands than acoustics-excepting of course the Stratacoustic.His voice is so shot and he has changed the way his songs are all played that the songs are almost unrecognizable except for the lyrics.

To Chumley
Best Wishes
Bob Dylan

I was laughin' the moment Chumley said "uhhh to Chumley".
I already knew what they would say back at the shop. Hilarious.
If he really is that stupid, it may be on the forest gump level and no one's caught it, yet.

Everybody's havin them same old dreams. Everyone sees themselves walkin round with no one else.

I agree. My wife and I went to see him a cou[le of years ago and he was really terrible. I saw him in concert, which is cool, but the listening was almost unbareable.

What was unbearable about it?
Is it as though he's crashed and burned? can't play or sing anymore??
I don't go to concerts but a friend may be tempted should Dylan come to town. Thought I'd warn him with some specifics.

I saw him four years ago. He was playing keyboards and him and his band were great!

You don't go there too hear a song and think: "hmm, that was cool, maybe I should get the album".
You go there because it is Dylan, has always been Dylan and will always be Dylan. Period.

Times change, maybe. Not me. - Bob Dylan as Alias in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else. - Bob Dylan

Btw, did anyone else notice that Dylan is coming back to Spotify? What do you think about that?
