Listener comments!
9:04am : Good morning Bob, Dr. Leary, everyone.9:04am : The rain has been in Atlanta for days!
Sick of it!
Good morning, Bob and WFMU listeners weathering the storm.9:07am : Morning, Bob. This may be my favorite Dylan cover.![]()
9:18am : Morning P-90, Dave, Jeff! My fave version of that song Jeff, for sure!![]()
♥ 9:26am :
...enjoying this set most definitely...![]()
♥ 9:30am :
Yes, this really is a great set!![]()
♥ 9:38am :
Masters of War, yeah.9:41am : Quote of the day, logged already:
"I was gonna slag Bob Dylan, but why bother?"![]()
♥ 9:42am :
agree with above, that opening set was dynamite. Good morning Bob, and all!![]()
9:46am : Couldn't resist the slaggin' P-90.9:51am : Slag away, fine by me Bob. Your commentary makes my Saturday mornings.![]()
9:54am : Thanks RH!![]()
10:08am : Luther Grosvenor, AKA Arial Bender with Mott The Hoople10:08am : 'Too Busy; Filled with Horns' is a great title. Or review. Or homework excuse.10:14am : oh deseri![]()
10:16am : The artist it the Mothers Of Invention.The album is Crusin' with Ruben and the Jets.10:18am : The band sounds pretty darn tight on this track--isn't this George Duke, et al?10:18am : Not entirely in agreement with you, Bob, on your take on Dylan. But I do think Dylan's melodies weren't always strong enough to warrant the length of of his mid- sixties songs. Desolation Row, for instance, didn't need to be 11 minutes.![]()
10:18am : Ok![]()
10:21am : Too bad Deseri wouldn't play, Try Stuff Up The Cracks.![]()
♥ 10:25am :
Morning Bob! Boy, everything i've heard from PJ is great. Any particular LPs i should start with?![]()
10:26am : Man, Dylan's songs like Desolation Row are about the words. it's a masterpiece. That's like saying Picasso's pictures don't need to be that big.10:29am : Love the music you play on Saturday morning!!!10:32am : Good point about the primacy of the words. But, still, these are songs and if the melody or chord changes are not so compelling, you've got to wach the length.
Now, Like a Rolling Stone is perfect. Long enough for the brilliant portraiture of the words but musically tight.![]()
♥ 10:34am :
Thanks Bob, i'll dive in!![]()
10:35am : Zappa gave Ruben Guevara Pemissuin to name his band after the Mothers LP. And he produced it. No George Duke is not on it![]()
10:44am : Girls admitted free. Hmmm.![]()
♥ 10:44am :
It's about Desolation...but nevermind...10:46am : THE WOLF10:49am : 44 54 whats the diff10:52am : Lots of baritone sax this morning. And here comes Mulligan!![]()
10:52am : Today's show is a gasser bb! 8-)
