Bob

A local radio station played 85 essential Bob Dylan songs celebrating his recent 85th birthday. I joined a couple of hours late but almost all the songs I heard were from the 1960’s and early 1970’s. Kenta napped and purred next to me for much of the playlist. It’s the first time he’s heard that much music in the house. Maybe he’s a music lover, wouldn’t surprise me. Or maybe he was impressed by Bob.

I’m a huge Bob fan. I’m going to see him three times over a little over a month. It’ll be the 53rd, 54th and 55th time I’ve seen him. From London to Chicago to Los Angeles. But with four exceptions (Boots of Spanish Leather, You’re a Big Girl Now, Abandoned Love and Where are You Tonight?) all my top 85 favorite Bob songs were written after 1981. As always I’m different from most people. Kenta would know that if he was around other people at all.
