Yeah, and ... and ... and ...? OK, sometimes Dylan is better in theory than in practice, you might say. But when others do his songs... There is a CD set called "Postcards from the Hanging" which is the Grateful Dead doing Dylan songs. (OK, I know certain TCers eyes are rolling now.) But it's awesome, IMHO. Jerry doing "She Belongs To Me." Bob doing "When I Paint my Masterpiece." Woohoo! I picked up Dylan's recent autobiographical book, CHRONICLES vol. I. I have to admit I feared it might be as "fulfilling" as a pot of extra-bitter coffee after a week-long fast, which is how I feel about some of his music, if truth be told. To my great and pleasant surprise, it was one of the best books I've read all year, and I highly recommend it! I finished it in about two days, and my only complaint would be that it was too short.
