Bob Dylan on The Election
“I was born in 1941,” he said, a wavering sentimentality in his scratchy voice. “That was the year they bombed Pearl Harbor. I’ve been living in darkness ever since. It looks like things are going to change now.”
If Bob says so, it’s good enough for me.
Jokerman
Jokerman done in a riff-rock style. Pretty cool stuff.
Dreamin’ of You
Harry Dean Stanton in Dreamin’ of You, the new Bob Dylan single. He plays a Dylanologist, I think.
Nerds Play Rock Band at Dylan Concert
I can almost guarantee they were Computer Science majors from CMU. I can also guarantee that they were, and remain, pricks.
As the legend, now 67, performed “Like a Rolling Stone” and other ’60s classics, a handful of rude boys wailed away on the video game 50 yards from the stage so loudly that Dylan’s voice was all but drowned out.
Jack White and Alicia Keys
Jack White is working with Alicia Keys on the new James Bond theme. Thankfully the song is not called “Quantum of Solace,” as that would be impossible to sing.
The White/Keys combination beat out rumored candidates Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and Duffy for the right to try to join Duran Duran, Shirley Bassey and Carly Simon in the Bond theme hall of fame.
Glad they made the right decision. Also, Bob Dylan is one step closer to finding Alicia Keys.
New Dylan “Bootleg Series”
Bob Dylan’s website has been updated for the release of the next bootleg series collection “Tell Tale Signs.” You can get a free preview track and look at the Bob Dylan Geo, which I think examines fungal growth in the western world.
