Re: Happy 71st Mr. Dylan
I don't really care for Dylan's music. I know he has influenced so many artists and is held as a legend, but for me not so much.
But happy b-day to him. May he keep doin' what he's doin.
Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy B-day Bob. Too many songs to pick a favorite. He inspired so many of us to be songwriters. Moss doesn't grow on a rolling stone.

One of my all time favorites. Happy Birthday Bob.

I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Happy 71st Mr. Dylan
My favorite of his is Tangled Up In Blue. Among my least favorite is The Hurricane. Both long story songs. Go figure.

Just a couple of old friends strumming their way through a rehearsal. One with a Martin D28 (probably), the other with a Gibson J200. Happy Birthday, Zimmy! RIP George.

Re: Happy 71st Mr. Dylan
Without a doubt, "Highway 61"!
Close second, "Subterranean Homesick Blues"

Re: Happy 71st Mr. Dylan
Quite possibly the best song writer that ever lived. I can't pick a favorite song by him, impossible to do.

Gee, I wonder why?
Not a big Dylan fan, but I understand and appreciate what he's done for music. The link happens to be my favorite Dylan tune.
Side note: I heard an interview with Charlie Daniels on the radio this morning while I was on a long drive, and Charlie gave Dylan some big props. Said he's one of the greatest American poets who has ever lived, cited him as an influence, etc. etc.

Re: Happy 71st Mr. Dylan
Everyone should give a listen to "Desire" I wore out several vinyl LP's and still listen to it in the new digital age, it is his Best IMO , I don't Love everything Bob has done but he sure has given Acoustic players like myself some Great songs to Cover. He also got me started playing harmonica .........
