I have not had much time lately for this blog, but I do think about it, and I've been listening to alot of Bob Dylan lately so... I thought I would blog about him.
It was his Birthday last week, and they were playing some of his stuff on the radio on my Monday morning drive from San Diego to Long Beach. Then on the way home they played the entire Side 1 of Highway 61 Revisited. I went home and listened to some Blonde on Blonde (Mono) and Nashville Skyline.
I remember my first Bob Dylan record, Highway 61 Revisited, it was a Christmas gift from a previous roommate. Even tho I rarely talk to that fellow anymore, it reminds me of him every time I hear it, and how he really made my Christmas that year, not just for the record, but for being a friend. Going though my other roommates record collections a few days later I find that all three of us own Highway 61 Revisited, kind of a funny bond.
This picture I choose is of Dylan and The Byrds. Recently I saw Chris Hillman talk about his days in The Byrds, doing a residency at Ciro's (now The Comedy Store), and Dylan coming on stage and singing Mr. Tambourine Man with them.
I have to go, I'll try and check in again soon! Thanks for letting me ramble.
Update 13 hours later...
Right after I left work I realized that I did not tie Bob Dylan into any form of Long Beach, and if you read my post, I do that quite often, so...
Check out this cool poster of Dylan playing Wilson High:
