I’m with you on the Bob Dylan thing. A few years ago he came to Davidson college for a concert
which sold out instantly. It was the worst thing I ever had to endure. Just noise.
The general concensus was that it was fantastic. I don’t get it.
To me he has benefitted by mass hypnosis conducted by the media. MK Ultra!
I remember the Shepherd comment. Another example of his observational excellence.
Got to go now and head for high ground as we’re being bombarded by Tsunami fear propogation.
Should be a lot of sirens today!

He doesn’t sing so well, but he writes nice lyrics, agreed their is probably too much knee jerk love for his genius, but I am moved by his words as poetry.

Dylan’s voice bothers me the most, but I admit I haven’t heard more than two or three of his songs. Also, I have the first red Pokemon game with my gameboy color.
And, I liked the dream plus concept. I get a fair number of story ideas from my dreams myself.
