I've heard stuff recently about Dylan being inconsistent too, and I mentioned it at the dinner table the other night (kind of hoping out loud that it wasn't going to suck altogether) and my son said, "Who cares? It's Dylan!". And I guess that's true enough. Have fun, Mark! 78263@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Aug 2004 13:36:17 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/05/101727.php#comment-78252 that would be almost 200 years worth! 78252@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Aug 2004 12:48:20 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/05/101727.php#comment-78251 enjoy yourself man. Dylan played belfast last month but i wasn't able to go. The bootleg recording i got goes someway to ensuring i feel ridiculous for missing it. 78251@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Aug 2004 12:44:40 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/05/101727.php#comment-78248 too bad they couldn't get Neil Young along for the ride. it'd be a surreal 70's three-tenors kinda thing. 78248@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Aug 2004 12:38:07 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/05/101727.php#comment-78246 have fun Mark, that should be something! I've seen them both a few times and Willie is more consistent than Bob, who is a moody, prickly son of a bitch. If they inspire each other it could be great. 78246@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Aug 2004 12:36:51 EDT
