MarkB thank you for the long, from the heart, post. It is true what you say about Bob, I know since I have been listening to his music for over 20 years, but some times I feel like I can't understand his work. One more thing I would like an opinion, is about his songs that have strong references (similarities) with older songs, but still get a Dylan credit only. Other artists haven't been able to get away with it, with lot less (see My Sweet Lord by George Harrison). I mean even if it is a matter of courtesy (to know the original) shouldn't he mention the source?
Jbaent, thank you very much for the link-photo (s). All of them were great, and filled the picture gap in my mind! By the way I have been going through Thin Lizzy's recordings and I think that they have an uneven outing. Maybe it has something to do with the constant changes of the guitarists and the drugs. But for the nice 2-3 albums and 20 songs that I like, I believe that Phil deserves a place in rock history.
Pottel you made me laugh after a hard day working under heavy rain. I found some of them having the same line of humor with Woody Allen.
