It's been my observation that those under the age of 40 just don't "get" Bob Dylan. You kind of have to have "been there" when he was at his early peak to really understand him. If there's anyone who is a BIG Bob Dylan fan and you're under 40, let me know. It's like being a teenage Beatle fan...sure I can see where you'd like their music, but how can you REALLY be into the Beatles, when you weren't "there" to first hand feel the musical & sociological events as they happened. Know what I mean?

Sorry Chili,
But I don't know what you mean. I'm 21 years old and I own ALL 46 of Dylan's albums. I am also own nearly every Beatles album and totally "get" both of these amazing musicians. That's the great thing about good music---it stands the test of time. I also believe that history repeats itself. So looking at it from a sociological standpoint, I can totally relate their lyrics to what is going on in my life or the world around me.
I had to put in my two cents here. It took me back to the time when I was first in line to buy Stevie concert tickets and they had this a**hole in back of me who was pissed that I wouldn't let him go first. He kept saying that I didn't understand Stevie---that I was just a child.
So anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
