THIS is NUTS. I have JUST downloaded Highway 61. On deck are ALL the
other albums... Half already gathered. I also found a copy of the
Gaslight Tapes ....with Radio hostess interviewing between tunes. He
was 20... before any album... he names it on the air with a cackle. Bob
Dylan.
I remember hitchhiking Highway 61 in 72. The ride we got hit a Raven
that flew up from the side of the road.... bounced straight up off the
windshield doing 90. Looking over my shoulder, he landed in the middle
of our lane, a half mile back.
I play many of Bob's tunes. He is an icon.
Weird wonderful post, Maria.
Thanks
