When he played songs I knew (which was actually quite often), I did feel that he was riffing off my memories of the songs, intentionally making something new out of the synthesis between the known version and his reinterpretation. I tell people this at parties. They conclude that I have drunk the Bob Dylan cool-aid and that my (thoroughly worthwhile, deeply satisfying) experience at a Bob Dylan concert was a hallucination.Chestertonian Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550643992523840950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9987513.post-63544250300257148202011-10-19T19:06:52.587+01:002011-10-19T19:06:52.587+01:00He does a little guitar -- I think only for two of...He does a little guitar -- I think only for two of the songs on the night we were there.
