Yes! This song is great and is the one that, to this point, has inspired the most head shaking air guitar.

I enjoyed this.

Based on the snippets, I counted 6 or 7 songs that I could see liking. Unfortunately, that includes the two I have already heard. I really want to hear "Life Is Hard" in full. I'm a sucker for the late-era Dylan ballad.

I can't think of a band, but as for active, prime of their career artists: Lil' Wayne Beyonce Now, Dylan, Young and countless others are more important to my life, but I'm getting old. (Yes, I know Young is a Canadian native)

Another vote for Harvest Moon. I love all of the songs from that one that have already been mentioned. I also like Silver & Gold a whole lot. "Razor Love" is outstanding. Prairie Wind is another nice, gentle post-1980's Neil record.

I think Planet Waves has some of Dylan's most tender and poetic moments. Has he ever written a better line than this one (from "Tough Mama")? "Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch" A line at once beautiful, lyrical, and genital. There is but one Dylan.

Yeah, it was taped March 23, 1999.

It's an older one with Blur and Van Morrison. Wilco performs "Can't Stand It" and "I'm Always in Love"

"Forever Young" on Dylan's Planet Waves.

All recorded sound post-Thomas Edison sucks. I can't believe some of the things I have read here. Also, I love some of the things I have read here. Good thread.

Yeah, there's definitely some truth in this. Still, as long as both the Yankees and Red Sox continue to be playoff contenders, continue to battle for the AL East crown, I'll still care about the "rivalry." Just not as much as ESPN wants me to.

Anyone watching Yankees-Sox? I hate high scoring back and forth games like this one. Give me a well pitched 3-2 final score. That's good baseball. Also, is that Robert Wuhl sitting behind home plate? I hate him too.

"Hate It Here" had an earlier incarnation: "You're Really Gone" (performed live once - 5/16/03).

If Obama's remarks were made directly to the individuals he was speaking of, I would have no problem seeing his words as poorly phrased but, ultimately, empathetic. The fact that he was addressing a San Francisco fund-raising audience does influence my perception. I fear he shaped his remarks to fit his audience. I personally don't, but I do know that where I'm from (NYC) many people do look down on "Gods and guns" small-town Americans. I'm willing to bet the political pulse of NYC is quite similar to that of San Francisco, and that Barack was trying to connect with that sensibility. Thus, I f

Didn't see this anywhere... Dylan Pulitzer

Heston, Baldwin, Brando, Belafonte - March on Washington, August 28, 1963

Nice work posting this, mountain bed. I just got around to seeing it. Gil is truly one of the greats and, yes, woefully underappreciated.

I don't agree with Buchanan's point, but I don't see his statement as intentionally inflammatory. What he said wasn't exactly "nappy-headed ho's." Do you think he was trying to say slavery was ultimately good? I didn't take that from it. I interpreted his remark to be a clumsy effort to condense the African-American experience into a single, concise statement (Point A - began as slaves, Point B - struggle and community growth, Point C - current freedom and prosperity). Now, if Pat really believes Point C, he needs to take a more thorough look around some predominantly African-American neighbor

I admit to having not read this entire thread, so forgive me if anything I write is recycled. Also, I admit to not being as politically well-versed as most people here probably are. I simply can

UConn and Louisville have identical 24-7 records. UConn and Louisville both lost a game last week. UConn beat Louisville in their only head to head matchup just over a month ago. The consensus is Louisville deserves to be seeded higher (3 seed) than UConn (4 seed). Boo. Yes, I'm an oversensitive UConn fan. Still, that was interesting to look at. Thanks.

That was cool. I love Marvin. The picture that was used in the mural has actually been my avatar/featured photo on my Rate Your Music page for the past few weeks. Also, just re-read Divided Soul: The Life of Marvin Gaye.

If you don't want to wait for a download, this guy has both performances posted (for the time being anyway): Hate It Here and Walken I don't know much about television production, but those performances were pretty well directed. For the most part, the camera seemed to be on the right person. When Sansone added an organ fill, the camera was there; when Cline was going off, the camera was there, etc. Not much focus on the bass player though. That man has paid his dues. He's been in it for the long haul. He deserved more face time.

What is this Abbey Road that you speak of? In my attempt at a timeline, I wasn't trying to find the band that was literally the best. That would be way too difficult, and would probably involve too much subjectivity. Were The Beatles better than The Velvet Underground in 1967? I don't think so, but The Beatles commerical success and cultural impact far surpassed VU's at that time. Thus, The Beatles get the nod. What I was trying to do was find the band that in some way defined/had the greatest impact on a certain time period - at that time. Popularity definitely factors into that. Like I sa
