<p>I'm not a fan of Bob Dylan at all (except that song about The Hurricane, cause he swears in it) but this was damn good. Surprisingly good, will be giving part 2 a listen early next week.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As for Robert Christgau, yeah his reviews are either wrong or totally nonsensical. There's a site with hundreds of his reviews and when I want to feel some pain, I look up artists and read what he says about their albums. I swear some of the stuff he says is so out there, I almost get lost.…</p>

<div><font size="3">Sounds like Dire Straits eh? Gotta try to find it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Modern Times is real good, but the one that got it all rolling for me was Time Out Of Mind- just a brilliant album, love Not Dark yet.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">That's the album that seemed to me showed a BIG renewed focus.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Ah, you liked that jazzy one for the Golden Pell.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">RJ is wrong...hahahaha...poor RJ, he gets it from all directions!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It's tough when you can't think of something as difficult as "A very nice listen", glad it doesn't happen to me on the radio, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Thanks very much for that, and Part Two late tonight- with a VERY emotional finish for me.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">And of course thanks for the listen and writing,</font></div>

<p>I have Slow Train Coming and its a great great album in my opinion. Its really about his conversion to Chritianity, but its also, kinda sorta, a Dire Straits album as well. Classic tunes!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like the feel of this too! Kinda sounds like he's got a renewed focus.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Golden Pell goes to the second track! RJ is wrong.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This was a, wait what was it? Oh yeah, A very nice listen...</p>

<div><font size="3">RJ,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Yeah, Dylan has changed his whole sound and I like it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But next week, I will be playing some old Dylan...I still favor that.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I really liked that opening track too, and honestly it was the only you could give the Golden Pell to, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I can't believe I played so few songs, although they were kind of long.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">I can't believe I played so few songs, although they were kind of long.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I haven't listened to that show since I did it, but it's me, so I can hear the distraction.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Interesting that others like yourself could hear it too.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">My main memory is that I had listened to the CD before the show, and there was a song that applied to Angel's death- at least in my mind.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">So hovering over me was this wondering how I would handle playing it, I could have skipped it but not me, I was going to play it no matter what.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">You'll hear it...and me, in Part Two.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">You reach a certain age and you can't help but be familiar with sadness.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Even after 5 years it's tough because she was only 46...and I can't help but think I would have eventually married her.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">After all, I had cleaned up my act, no more drinking, and was actually becoming somewhat responsible...almost a mature adult, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Time hasn't done much.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Maybe I won't let it!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Thanks very much for those kind words, I'll be thinking of them after Part Two when I am saddened by hearing that song and what I said after it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But hey, I am always what I am on that show, and I think that means something- people can actually know me for good or bad.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">No machine me, but a real person!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I still enjoy being stolen, lol,</font></div>

<p>Mike, you know I don't claim to be a Dylan fan, but this was a decent little listen. I can promise I would have never heard any of this album anywhere else. So thanks for that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll give the Golden Pell to that opening track (you're too slow this week Scott). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I did like some of the guitar work in the other two tunes.</p>

<p>I can definitely hear the distraction in your voice. I think I'm familiar with sadness that you are referring to, so I can certainly understand why you would be distracted. It's been 5 years, and they say time heals all pain. Hopefully you are doing a little better these days. Thanks again for posting your shows at CRB. It was definitely a stroke of genius on my part (<img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/>) to steal you away from you know where.</p>
