Bob Dylan

Someone once described his voice as "an old man trying to carry a couch up a flight of stairs."
That made my stomach turn, for hearing his music is simply music to my ears.

I really must get around to reading one of the books written on him, since every TV special I've seen has just amazed me. Also, as soon as I find out where I can view it, I'm going to watch the Oscar nominated "I'm Not There."

Right now he is in Mexico, begining his twelve-gig Latin American tour. This is the first time in ten years that he has played down there, and his audience on Wednessday night welcomed him back warmly, according to Rolling Stone. The reason for such a long wait could be described best in his own words "Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot." Oh Bobby Dylan, you slay me.
