the absolute greatest. 50+ years into his career and he's still on his own path, and refuses to be a nostalgia act. can't say enough good things about that man.

I'm a massive Dylan fan, Long and Wasted years is probably up there with his best, from his 2012 album 'Tempest'. Give it a listen! youtu.be/-kt2cntN2yw

Still love 1974's Planet Waves (though the backing Band may have swung it for me)

Still love 1974's Planet Waves (though the backing Band may have swung it for me) Wikipedia has this interesting bit about Planet Waves: The initial release also included an insert, which reportedly set out excerpts from Dylan's personal journals. that looks like it would be cool to read. I vaguely remember the album-cover notes having some "interesting" notes from Dylan. Not sure if that was it or whether there was an insert? I think I may still have my old vinyl copy in the attic somewhere (bought when I was about 17!!)

This was on the back cover, printed in (Dylan's?) handwriting:
Back to the Starting Point! The Kickoff, Hebrew Letters on the wall, Victor Hugo's house in Paris, NYC in early autumn, leaves flying in the park, the clock strikes Eight. Bong - I dropped a double brandy & tried to recall the events... beer halls & pin balls, polka bands, barbwire & thrashing clowns, objects, headwinds & Snowstorms, family outings with strangers - Furious gals with garters & Smeared Lips on bar stools that stank from sweating pussy - doing the Hula - perfect, priests in OVERhauls, glassy eyed, Insomnia! Space guys off duty with big dicks & ducktails All wired up & voting for Eisenhower, waving flags & jumping off of fire engines, getting killed on motorcycles whatever - We sensed each other beneath the mask, pitched a tent in the Street & joined the traveling circus, Love at first sight! History became a Lie! The sideshow took over - what a sight...the thresh- hold of the Modern Bomb, Temples of the Pawhee, the Cowboy Saint, the Arapahoe, snapshots of - Apache poets searching thru the ruins for a glimpse of Buddah - I lit out for parts unknown. found Jacob's Ladder up Against An adobe wall & bought A serpent from a passing Angel - Yeah the ole days Are gone forever And the new ones Aint far behind, the Laughter is fading away, echos of a star, of Energy Vampires in the Gone World going Wild! Drinking the blood of innocewnt people, Innocent Lambs! The Wretched of the Earth, My brothers of the flood, Cities of the flesh - Milwaukee, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Bismarck, South Dakota, Duluth! Duluth - where Baudelaire Lived & Goya cashed in his Chips, where Joshua brought the house down! From there, it was straight up - a Little jolt of Mexico, and some good LUCK, a Little power over the Grave, some more brandy & the teeth of a Lion & a compass
