Never really a great fan of Bob but Blood On The Tracks is a very good album, least I thought it was the last time I played it about 40 years ago.

[Psmith]

yes ,you must have thought it was very good.

[Psmith]

My fav disc would be Highway 61

Desolation Row

[Red Baron]

Blood on the tracks is indeed a fine album. One of the few where Dylan's voice is good for his songs.

As with any artist, I like some but not all of his work.

Unlike other artists, I like more of his music when it's sung by others.

Apparently he's smelly.

[Julian Mince]

Apparently he's smelly.

You're thinking of Jools Holland (no relation) or Rory McGrath I think?

[Redpig59]

I read an article somewhere by women who fancied him, but one claimed that he has really bad BO.

[Julian Mince]

Another one to add to the Smelly List then.

Incidentally, I discovered this morning that there's someone working here called "Pigeon Alpha". I am of course trying to discover more. We use a lot of contractors from the sub continent to handle first line support calls. It's a great name isn't it? My previous favourite co-worker's name was someone who works in Austria called Wolfgang Pongs. I have often wondered whether he does.

Pigeon Alpha?
That sounds like the kind of name a pigeon impersonating a human would use.
Be careful.

I used to have the most fantastic collection of Dylan records and memorabilia but I threw it all away

Normally when I get an email from one of these sub-continental contractors and I cannot tell whether they are male or female, I put their name into Google Images. That way i can see whether they're a boy or a girl. With Pigeon Alpha, Google Images wasn't much help to be honest.

Nice.
Like Eddi Reader, though not as strong.

I used to know it but now I can only remember the last five numbers, 80085

[Julian Mince]

Ah yes - it's 7175 80085. Thanks Gassy!

[Gaspode]

That's the number Jules, I was wrong thinking it was
619 80085 then.
