Bob Dylan.

I've just watched the first part of Martin Scorceses (sp) documentary on Bob Dylan.
Dylan has always been a great favourite of mine. Particularly his earlier work, before he became too dreary and difficult. Now, I'm in love with him all over again.
He looks particularly good for his age, better than he ever did. He has grown into himself. What I found particularly attractive was his eyes. They are clear and sweet and look at you (the camara) when he speaks. Not at all that brooding, leave me alone persona that he has seemed to have for all these years.
He has that drawling, Clint Eastwood type of unassumingness in his speech that is appealing.
Joan Baez gave a good example of when he showed her some songs he had written, she gave him her interpretation of what they meant to her and he was astonished. He said they sound really f***ing good when she told him what they meant, he didn't know about any of that s**t, he just wrote 'em. LOL
Well, I guess you had to watch the whole thing. I'll be watching again tomorrow.

I wish he would be inspirational again, we need someone like him again in this suspicious and racist world. He inspires cultural revolution which is overdue just now. We need another era like the 60s.
