5-24-07 Happy Birthday, Bob!
It's tough to realize that Bob Dylan turns 66 today. If he ever reads this, I only have this to say to him, "Thanks for all the great music, Bob!"
He was great when he was doing his Woody Guthrie impersonations. He was great when he went into his "I'd rather be a rock'n'roll star" phase. He was great when he went into his "wouldn't it be fun to sing like Johnny Cash" phase. And he's just continued to be great, even now in this "hey, let's sing like Tom Waits" phase.
A friend of mine in California once said of Dylan, "He just doesn't belong on this planet... he's a gift." I can hardly disagree. Bob Dylan is a gift that keeps on giving, year after year.
