True, the best songs were written by others, why would you expect the artist to do otherwise? It was about him. 685821@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 Jan 2008 10:19:17 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/03/083441.php#comment-685664 You crazy fools should stop dissing SELF PORTRAIT and see it as a decent album, very similar to NASHVILLE SKYLINE. Don't be so picky. I'd like to see any of you make an album even half as good before you diss this. 685664@blogcritics.org Sun, 6 Jan 2008 17:37:30 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/03/083441.php#comment-683548 I am actually a HUGE fan of Self Portrait. I think it's very odd, but then again you have to look at the artist. Anyway, as an afficianado of Bob's I thought you'd find my new novel, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, of interest. It's a murder-mystery. But not just any rock superstar is knocking on heaven's door. The murdered rock legend is none other than Bob Dorian, an enigmatic, obtuse, inscrutable, well, you get the picture... Suspects? Tons of them. The only problem is they're all characters in Bob's songs. You can get a copy on Amazon or go "behind the tracks" at my site to learn more about the book. 683548@blogcritics.org Sat, 29 Dec 2007 00:25:57 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/03/083441.php#comment-682296 "bob dylan"?, is he the wierdo that used to play at the "club 47" in cambridge with a harmonica on his guitar, and a voice that sounded as though he was singing through his nose? "gunner" 682296@blogcritics.org Sun, 23 Dec 2007 01:26:03 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/03/083441.php#comment-682289 How does one go about investing in maggots? LOL! Give me a break! I may be wierd, but I think Self portrait is one of his better records. 682289@blogcritics.org Sun, 23 Dec 2007 00:42:07 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/03/083441.php#comment-570020 Bob Dylan sucks. Always has and always will. Just an old maggot invested hippie. 570020@blogcritics.org Mon, 2 Apr 2007 19:13:48 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/03/083441.php#comment-569971 Try this, as I did, burn yourself this disc made up of half the tracks from this double album. I think you'll find it fits right in with John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline and The Basement Tapes. In fact, it also has some similarities to Bob's 90's covers albums as there are quite a few traditional tunes in there as well.
