I didn’t see a thread. And I didn’t want to go to bed tonight without celebrating 80 years of this man’s wonderful existence. Happy birthday Bob!

Not a fan nor admirer, but he stands with Louis Armstrong as a giant of the modern popular song. Dylan made it personal, urgent for reasons other than i wanna rub you all over and lie on top of you and will croon to the moon in June to make it so. This is me, this is truth, this is the world, this is the fact that, if i cant make you sense how my guts churn and mind soars, i will burst. That unlocked for the musical intellect and imagination what Satchmo did for the joy of the heart and buoyancy of the soul (AND syncopation of the beat). And it dont really matter that he was a whiny ##### through most of it, but that he changed the way we cared about things. We could use one of them now. Happy 80, Dylan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
