Outside in the cold distance...

   I was 21 years old. I had never been to a concert. I told my father
   that had he not failed to raise me properly, this tragedy would have
   been avoided. Now, I told him, I had to pop my concert cherry in a
   truly spectacular fashion. I showed him the ad: Bob Dylan and Paul
   Simon were on tour together. He laughed...

   The next day my Step Mom handed us tickets...

   The thing is, I've seen Dylan since then. Playing everything from huge
   stadiums to (I'm not making this up) the UC Davis gym. His style keeps
   evolving

   [EMBED]

   Say what you will about Hendrix-- no homage to his genius could be
   complete enough-- Bob Dylan is a master. I will never get tired of
   hearing him play. And [1]All Along the Watchtower will always rival
   [2]Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 for the title of "music piece I find
   most moving"...
