No time for Bob Dylan book. Love his music but from what I have read of his few interviews he's a bit too cynical for my taste.
Here's a brand new Dylan joke from Bill Maher:
"Bob Dylan must stop denying that he was the voice of a generation. Bob, that's not something you get to decide. It's fate and you were it. If your generation could actually pick a voice, don't you think they'd have picked a better one than yours?"

I was teasing, as well, Frankie, although I can see how it might be taken, otherwise. I was validating the joke as a joke. I really don't make fun of, or joke about Bob's voice. However, when a joke comes together in such a fine way as Bill Maher's did, I have to acknowledge its humour, as a winking 'truth.' I can see where a better word was in order at that point. I also love Bob Dylan's voice, and he was the first to make me aware of an 'alternative reality.' "Ballad of a Thin Man" was one of the primary ones for that.
Hi Frankie Lee...to be fair to Dylan I am hearing very good reports of his autobiography. And as one of the most influential cultural artists of this century I am sure it will be of great interest to many readers. But I just can't see it on my reading list. First of all, I am not much of a biography reader...details of famous lives don't really interest me. I think the only good size biographical tomes I've ever read is of Lincoln a long time ago and of Anne Frank more recently.
But my comment came from some words of his in interviews, and also a number of his recent songs (e.g., Things have Changed, Not Dark Yet, Mississippi). His feelings are also reflected in the movie 'Masked and Anonymous' which I didnt like at all. He seems altogether disenchanted with modern society and culture and since I am not so (for the most part) there is a finite point as to how seriously I take him. However, I really love his recent albums lyrically and musically (Not Dark Yet is an all time classic and the Masked and Anonymous soundtrack is superb).
As to Bill Maher's comment something tells me he is quite familiar with Mr. Dylan's music and history to be able to make that joke. And quite apart from the joke/pun aspect, there is a grain of truth....you cannot write some of the finest protest/anti-establishment songs ever written AND do so at a time of great social upheaval and youth movement (in part due to excess youth population in the 60s in US) and then claim you hated being billed as the "voice" of a generation.
There is an old chinese saying: "Do not stoop to tie your shoelaces in your neighbor's melon patch."
BTW, say hi to Judas Priest for me
p.s. I first saw the joke on the Dylan site expectingrain.com. A very democratic site....

I tend to keep it simple, as I have no changer at this point, other than me, at the end of each one-playthrough-only cd. I've kept my radio on NPR, that brings me opera, world music, jazz, blues, Irish music, Prairie Home Companion [with whomever is appearing], and various other types ~ and the changing goes to Leonard and Allison Crowe, at this point. A couple weeks ago, it was Leonard and Townes van Zandt , thanks to Kush. My house has been in serious disarray due to workers making various repairs, and I'm not set up well for organized playing, so the simpler the better. I've been doing long periods of the same artist. All I need to do is go push the play button again, vs. carefully removing the cd, placing it back in its case; removing the next one, etc., repetitiously. I can play only at work my dear friend, Pete's covers of LC, with his wonderful British accent . It's on an MP3 [right, Pete?] ~ and my carryabout player is just too simplistic for that level of sophistication .

Hi Elizabeth
They are not on mp3....that level of technology is still beyond me.
.....the songs were put on cd from my 4 track recorder via a friend's computer where they are stored in something called 'cubasis'. I would think that they could be converted to mp3.. I think I'm in danger of trying to sound all technical-like here
all good things
