Dylan on Drugs ?

john_l: there's been a recent thread on "love and theft," but what the hell. if you think the cd's good, you should catch bob live performing this stuff and some of his classics of the past FORTY years done to a whole new beat with a whole new feelin'. (hard for me to beleive but the 30th anniversary concert was in 1991!) no, IMO, "time out of mind" ain't as good but there are few dylan records not worth a listen or six. BTW, "love and theft," per bob's wishes, is available on vinyl, too. -cfb

John,
I am a Dylan nut even though I buy a whole load of contemporary stuff ,for me Love And Theft was easily album of the year.
I'm also no Dylan apologist he's had his fair share of low points over the years and I do think his voice could be a problem for the faint hearted...
Time Out Of Mind is a great album,it has 4 or 5 excellent/classic songs but imho it was possibly overrated slightly by the press although you will find others who prefer it to Love and Theft....certainly they represent his best back to back album releases for a very long time.
Dylan to me is without equal in popular music only recent disappointment is that his Spring UK tour is not taking in Scotland which explains why I have tickets for Paris and London.......
Oh and bye the way I think any reference to Dylan and drugs is lazy and shows an extreme lack of imagination regarding his work,that pretentious enough for ya?
Enjoy the music.

erratum to my 1st post: the 30th anniversary concert was done on 10/16/92. -cfb
