It was definitely a good deal. I just didn't have the cash to drop.

Rips made the rounds. I know you enjoy spinning vinyl but if you want the (16 bit) files let me know.

I'd love them.

Aside from the incredible amount of music this Nice young fellow has put out over the past 50 years, how fucking insane is it what he put out between 61-67??

Yes, im tearing through this boxed set. Good fucking lord. he was 20 years old when first record was recorded and still a young 26 by the time John Wesley Harding came out.

That is very difficult for me to wrap my head around.

Yeah...his stylistic shifts from his debut to John Wesley Harding is pretty fucking incredible. That does seem like 15 years worth of change for a prolific artist. Let alone 5-6 years for one not even out of his mid-20s. There must have been a lot of weight on his shoulders, being a spokesman for at least one movement and a generation years before he gets to 30. Mind-blowing.

Wrote "Blowin in the Wind" at 20. And "Hard Rains" at like 21! Yeah, you don't see many 20 year olds in the industry doing that.

But more than all that he knew how to keep the media & public pressure at a distance. He was smart enough to know how to deal with it. He combated the media with humor, sarcasm, & defiance. Have you heard or seen those early interviews? He was a borderline prick, but justifiably so. He knew exactly what to say and how to say it. YOu see young celebrities today and some complain about media & public attention. But they could easily face up to it in the way Bob did. It's amazing how a young kid faced all that with such grace.

"Your debutante just knows what you need. But I know what you want”

Him and the Beatles, I'll never be able to understand for exactly that reason. I mean, Paul McCartney had just turned 27 when the Beatles finished recording Abbey Road, and that (beyond a few overdub sessions on Let it Be tracks) was the end of that band's story. So pretty much everything he did with that band, he did by the time he left his 26th year.

Of course, these people all came out of a time when it was just assumed that you needed to put out an album every 6-10 months, or the public would forget all about you. Musical acts were supposed to have short shelf lives, and both artist and label wanted to make the most of the time they had. By the time you get to the late 70's, the industry had fully acclimated to the "music as dominating force in pop culture" post-invention of adolescence thing, and expectations were very different.

I think it would be very hard for creative forces to erupt on that level these days, just because the industry and machinery has become such a poor place to nurture exactly that.

Have you seen that San Francisco press conference from 1965? Classic.

Great version, and fun fact: One of the female backing singers on this is Katey Sagal, who would later go on to play Peg Bundy on "Married With Children."

She was hired as a backing singer for his 1978 Street-Legal tour, but was fired a week before the start of the tour. The Rundown Rehearsals are the only known recordings of her singing with Dylan.

All you need is Tangled up in blue. Fuckin Shakespearean.
