How do you guys manage to be in mid thread before I get it downloaded?
Anyway on the now exhausted Dylan or Joni? .......... Rightfully
acknowledged as one of the top albums of all time, Blonde on Blonde is
peerless. Highway 61, Blood on the Tracks, Desire, New Morning - wonderful!
The way I see it, Dylan sketches and throws all his work on the table raw
for everyone to see (a kind of here do something with this), whereas Joni
works in detail and frames her musical tapestries before display (a kind of
this is how it is). Dare I say therefore Dylan is more interpretable and
therefore more appealling as Joni's work is so definitive and harder to
accommodate / do anything with on a six-stringed standard-tuned Yamaha in a
college bed-sit with 101 Tunes for Buskers. Dylan is the paint, Joni is the
paintbrush. IVy P says preaching to the converted whereas Jim the Man-o-God
wants to re-affirm his faith. I see something of myself in every point of
view. What's the point? That's exactly the point.
