Bob Dylan 80 soon on 10:49 - May 25 by Glossolalia
Absolutely loved Roussos on Aphrodite's Child's 666 album. There's something eerie and beguiling about his voice; such a distinctive, tight vibrato. His flits and slides are also so hard to replicate.
I'll find someone you don't like when I have the time
I like Neil Young. Went to see him in Liverpool Arena a few years back with Crazy Horse. People were moaning. There were expecting ‘Harvest’ and got the full rock treatment. I though it was great myself. Not so keen on Dylan as a performer but respect his work and unsurpassed as a writer.
I'm a great admirer of Young , his back catalogue is outstanding in quality and volume imo . With the exception of one or two of Dylan's commercial output I can't say I am a fan

Billy Bragg is the pound shop Guthrie. Dylan a great writer but shot as a performer by the mid 70s. Remember my mother buying ‘Live at Budokan’ . Don’t think it ever made it past side 1. That’s not to decry the change he drove and a folk and electric performer or great records like Highway 61 …
This all entirely subjective of course but on a Dylan thread here a few years ago I gave 1965 as his high water mark with the back-to-back releases of ‘Bring it all back home’ and ‘Highway 61 Revisited.’ I haven’t revised that opinion since, I still think those two were inspired and as good as he got.
Billy Bragg couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket but he’s an interesting speaker. I caught him at a Cornish book festival a while back on the subject of Orwell’s ‘The Lion and the Unicorn.’ I thoroughly enjoyed it.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

One of Billy’s finer moments.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

I heard Bragg destroy "i aint got no home" once and fair nearly threw up on the spot.
