Sorry Nico, I wasn't bashing Jakob Dylan or trying to get you to justify why you think he's great. Some artists we love for nostalgic or associative reasons, I mean...my affinity for Todd Rundgren owes a large part to the fact my older sisters loved him. And he's produced some great things too, like XTC (although the b*st*rd gave me one of my worst concerts EVER, I still like him)
People that I look up to or respect a great deal, I try to appreciate things that they love. So, you could say by my trying to understand why you love Jakob so much, that I respect YOUR music choices a great deal. ( I do--you have GREAT taste!)
Now that Bob Dylan song...those are powerful lyrics! But the thing that struck me the most was your tagline from The Killers. I sometimes feel this way:
"Pay my respects to grace and virtue, send my condolences to good; Give my regards to soul and romance, they always did the best they could..."
Hey, they are playing The Killers on the radio, and THAT'S some music I can definitely get into! "Somebody told me, that you had a boyfriend, Who looks like a girlfriend, That I had in February of last year......" HOT STUFF!
