Thread: Bob Dylan (He's not dead)

The guy's music and songwriting has affected me deeply since I was 18 and off on my own for the first time and the words "If you ain't got nuthin, you've got nuthin to lose" meant something real to me.

My wife simply can't get past his voice to even appreciate his poetry although she reluctantly admits she appreciates the song Tangled Up in Blue.

I have an affinity for earlier Dylan albums with Blood on the Tracks and Blonde on Blonde probably being my favorite.

Anyone else a Dylan fan? Or, does he grate on anyone else like he does my wife? She has issues with Neil Young for the same reason, the voice. Yet, curiously, she enjoys The Replacements and Paul Westerberg's raspy trashed growling.

Bummer, I didn't stop to think I should have titled this post: "Bob Dylan (He's not dead). Sorry to scare anyone. If a mod can change this title, please feel free.
