Possibly my favorite Bob Dylan song.
So I was ecstatic that it was one of the songs he sang at his concert in Monterey tonight.
Actually he talked the song—-but who cares?
I had never seen him perform.
And all I cared about was seeing a legend, a gigantic talent, a man who was a huge part of my youth.
Seeing him was a memory I’ll treasure forever. ….. the second best part of the night.
The best part was when the guy next to me asked why someone so young had any interest in Bob Dylan.

Glad you had fun. And can’t believe you were seeing him for the first time, how exciting. My first concert ever was Bob Dylan and the Band. We sat in the nosebleed section but it was an amazing show. What a way to start off a rock n roll concert life!
And really, that comment from the guy next to you was the icing on the cake. Chocolate, or course.

Does Bob Dylan ever really “sing” anything?
Darryle Pollack says
Wow, we’ll have to trade stories sometime. My first concert was the Beach Boys. Dylan completes me–an official member of “our” generation.

I was joking; he was always a poet rather than a singer; but again, who cares? He was—and still is—amazing.

I love your first reason. Read a great review of that concert in last night’s paper. We’re going to see him in Oakland tonight, and my mom wondered how we’d even heard of him. I reminded her that my husband was almost 50, and really into music and they guys a legend, please.

You’ll love seeing him; will check out the review. When my kids were little, I played Dylan along with Raffi –and both of them ended up Dylan fans–now all 3 of us have seen him in person.
