what drove us towards good music musings on dylan

80z reality is   so much milquetoast tripe, even by 80s standards,  no no no
"music" on top 40, i remember not being able to listen to radio 80z

... and three years later... somehow there were even less guitars...
since youve been gone, which i thought was an oldee by maybe boston, was actually a new song...


then, someone gave me beat old scratchy bob dylan records,
freewheelin,
another side,
bringin it,
highway,
greatest hits.

they captured me. 

like a cryptic relic...
:"when the rivers freeze and summer ends..."" "tonight as i stand inside the rain"...
"i'll follow your casket.......................on a pale afternoon""
"a bird is not free from the chains of the skyway "
"

 then going and finding more including the mono blonde on blonde for a dollar,
there are amazing things, more funky and less fantasy than my previous favorite, bringing it all back home... i also had a hwy 61 mono, and it was just alright for me... blonde on blonde got stacked on the changer and re-stacked and repeated over and over... it was the conclusion to a bad high school date... then biograph
it wrapped up that and my complete awe and fascination with dylan... i wouldn't be as much into bob again until the bootleg v1-3 things about 10 years later. bob sad eyed lady it seemed like a nice funeral
b. o. b. also exposed bob as fakey and funky...
sexual: " we aint married, shes my friend"
pledging my time is a real low point and visions i never really liked its sprrawl over the place
obviously is great rnb temporary is alright, sweet marie... these are the rock n roll rnb jones he had to get on.. come on leopard skin and you go your way are not his best lyrics its about the groove,
the BAND   all in all its post adolescent high art from bringing it to b. o. blonde...
then it was onto heavy rock stuff for me having played these 5 dylan records over and over for two teenage years
and dylan back to folk jwh nashville sky new morning...

holy jesus did it hit my adolescent brain like a hammer... it had to go.
