I posted, not too long ago, about emotional highs, which for me are relatively few and far between- I can laugh at things, but getting excited about stuff tends to be much harder for me. Today I found another- as stupid and cliche as it might seem, it's Bob Dylan's 'Blowing in the Wind', a 1963 live preformance.
Is the age we live in not amazing? Twenty years ago, viewing such a thing would have been the result of a lot of work looking for the BBC archive footage, something only the dedicated Dylan fan would have gone to the trouble of doing. Now, I type 'Blowing in the Wind Dylan' into Youtube and there it is. An internet connection and some headphones are all that are necessary to experience this or any number of other great songs. I'm frankly astonished that with access to the Internet, people can still claim to be bored. I know I haven't been for many years.
