he sure does a lot of it!

I've always blown hot and cold on Dylan -
I think a lot of his lyrics are a little too mean, or gruff, or something...
but the way he says "Beans" in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is perfect...
but he was mean to Donovan...
but Masked and Anonymous is about as good a movie as I've ever seen...
but he liked Goldwater!


still, II'd let him be in my dream - and I did dream once that I met
him (told him "I've been a fan for 30 years!!")
