The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan at 65

Bob Dylan keeps on producing -- music, books, radio shows, ideas, and solace for his fans. 1941 to 2006, that makes 65 for sure!

Having got a stack of his records, CDs, and tapes -- everything intact except the 8-tracks -- I'm happy he's still working his mojo. When I heard his "High Water" being played at a local bookstore not long after the 9/11 attacks, I knew everything was okay, at least for a while longer. And it was. Happy birthday, Bob Dylan -- and thanks for making life a little more bearable even in the worst of times.

Ciao!

Bob already started to present its program in the radio? It gave interview saying to estreiar in a program of the canal Deep Tracks, of the net of satellite XN. With one hour of duration and he would go to present "an eclectic mixture of musics selected for Bob Dylan", beyond interviews and commentaries. He seems to be an excellent one! I did not understand right, is anniversary of it? Congratulations! praised 65 years! As the time it passes! Kisses

Bob is the very best and his new memoir is great! I couldn't believe how good it was, but I shouldn't have been surprised. After all, he's Bob Dylan!

Hey Luma and Gloria, Oi,

here's the latest on Dylan radio: "Logo for XM Satellite Radio's "Theme Time Radio Hour with Your Host Bob Dylan," debuting May 3, 2006. (PRNewsFoto/XM Satellite Radio)
Music icon Bob Dylan has signed on with XM Satellite Radio to host a weekly radio show beginning in May 2006, featuring songs hand-selected from Dylan's personal music collections, plus interviews, commentary and e-mails from fans." I'll put a link in the main area. I agree on the memoir, too!

Remember when we saw him live at Duke in Durham. That is a night I will remember. Barb
