    "God gave his name to all the animals ..in the beginning"
    
    
    is a track off the "Slow Train Running" album circa 1978.

  Yeah, it was one of two tracks that kept "Slow Train Coming" from being a
  (musically & vocally) great, rather than just good, album.  "I... think
  I'll call it a pig..."    Truly moronic!  8)
  
  Only I remember it as "man gave names to the animals"; could be "god"...
     - Jay

    
    I am not even sure if it was Bob Dylan, but I'll ask it here anyway:
    What was the song that was playing at 6 am everyday in the movie
    "Groundhog Day"? Also, who was it, if it was not Bob Dylan?
    
    Great movie, by the way. We finally got around to watching it this
    weekend and truly loved it.
    
    "What if there is no tomorrow, there wasn't one today"
    
    ;-)

    I believe it was "I Got You Babe" by Sonny & Cher.
    
    

    Imagine Bob Dylan & Joan Baez doing a duet on "I got you babe!"
    
    What a couple!  ;+)

    
    I can't believe I thought it was Bob Dylan ;-)
    
    Lale
    

    I dunno, Sonny did a pretty good Dylan impression in his day...heck,
    where do you think Ian Hunter got his style from?
    
    							Brian

maybe you heard Cher singing "I got you babe" with Beavis & Butthead,
Beavis could be mistaken for Dylan, I guess

	huh huh huh...that was cool...


Anyways, does anyone have any info on when we can expect a new Wilbury
release?  Last april a dj in tucson said we would have one this year
(as well as a new Harrison release) but as we only have a month left,
I'm not so sure...

    re .9, well, the second album was recorded *after* Roy died, so I
    wouldn't say they died *with* Roy.  However, the 2nd album didn't do
    nearly as well as the first, so that may have killed it.  Besides, they
    only did it for fun in the first place.
    
    Lorna
    

what songs?  I have not heard his voice on any of the tracks, but maybe
thats because I did not expect to hear them.

I agree that volume 3 was not as good as volume 1 because it lack Roy's harmony
(Handle With Care is a good example) and Dylan sang too much (sorry to mention 
this in this conference) but I still liked it.  

I always thought that volume 3 was recorded after Roy died, and I even heard
that Del Shannon was supposed to be the replacement, but then didn't he
commit suicide around that time?

Just to keep this Dylan oriented I do have to mention that I picked up the
Bob Dylan 30th year aniversary celebration and found it fabulous, especially
George Harrision doing Asolutely Sweet Marie which he tries to sound like Dylan
and My Back Pages with Clapton, Harrison, McGuinn, Young, and Dylan.  That
was cool...

    I think PEAKS::YANDELL is correct. I think they were trying to get Del
    Shannon to join before they started their Vol III sessions. Maybe there
    was a track left over from the original sessions that had Roy's voice on
    it, but I didn't think so.

    --Ron

There is a line in one of Dylan's songs I've always wondered what
his real meaning was.... (ok, that could be any Dylan song !)

The song is  Tangled up in Blue

The line is....

" I must admit I felt alittle uneasy "
" when she bent down to tie the laces"
" of my shoes.....                   "


any interpretations ????

    Interpretations:
    
    1. shoe rhymes with blue
    
    2. image of Mary Magdalene washing Jesus' feet (he mentions later "some
       are carpenter's wives", an image of the Virgin Mary, eh?)
    
    3. why were the %$#^&* shoes untied in the first place?
    
    Hey, how about an analysis of why he changed the verses between the
    demo version and the BOTT version  8^)  8^)
    
    							Brian

    re .14
    
    Ummm, shoe-tying only occupied her hands.
    
    Jamie

    I always thought he was relating to the time after he bike
    crash....someone had to tie his shoe while he was laid (pun) up...

Did anyone happen to see "Byrds of Paradise" the other week when the
kid was trying to start a band?  Arlo Guthrie, playing an aging
not-so-ex-hippie (not much of a stretch :-) said to the kids " do you
know who wrote the first Rap song?  Bob Dylan".  He then proceeded
to rap "Subterranean Homesick Blues".  It was incredible!  It really
did sound like rap!  I was highly amused.

-Hal

    Re the song, the woman who bent down to tie his shoes was working in a
    topless place, wasn't she?  I just assumed that was enough to make him
    nervous or uneasy.  :-)

>    Time Will Tell (?)

  Would this be, "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine" ?
  ("Time will tell... just who has fell, and who's been left behind...")
    
>    Time For Your Tears (?)

  Maybe "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll"?
  ("William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll... with a cane that he
  twirled round his diamond-ring finger..." "Now ain't the time for your
  tears...")

  Among Dylan's early songs, I always preferred the love songs to the
  topical songs, but "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" was a favorite --
  too bad if his arrangement du jour obscured the original, attractive chord
  structure....  - Jay

    Wasn't "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" the song BD performed
    at the Albert Hall concert captured on film in Pennebaker's "Don't
    Look Back" whereupon, having finished the song, he paws through the
    mouth harps on a nearby chair searching for the one properly keyed
    for the next song - and you realize that his performance (and the song
    itself) has so mesmerized the crowd that each time he rejects a harp
    and tosses it back you can hear it hit the chair as if the hall were
    empty?

>              -< His "topical" tunes from that period had bite! >-

  No argument, esp. regarding the best of them (my picks would include
  Blowin' in the Wind, Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall, Time They Are a-, Lonesome
  Death of Hattie Carroll, Ballad of Hollis Brown, ...  I suppose Masters of
  War has grown on me as well).
  
  However, I thought others were pretty questionable, lyrically & otherwise
  -- for example, don't understand the contemporary enthusiasm for "Chimes
  of Freedom".  Never took to "With God on Our Side", either.  Some of them
  had a good point, but tended to beat it to death...
  
  I like his humor, & love songs, of the period, along with the best of the
  "protest" bunch.  Just another data point...  - Jay

    (Had forgotten about the "Don't Look Back" episode -- may peek at the
    video tonight.)

    That set list seems to be all older songs, and his last 2 albums have
    been all traditional material.  Has he stopped performing new songs?

  There was a Dave Letterman "drop in" visit to a Dylan session (seemingly
  across the street from the Sullivan theater, or was that manufactured?) on
  Letterman show I tuned in last month...  Wonder if that's what was going
  on.

  Anyway...   I noticed CBS/Sony has released a Greatest Hits Vol.3 for
  Dylan, covering from Blood in the Tracks ("Tangled Up in Blue") on.  - Jay

	I thought Bobbie was really good last night, what did you think?

    

    I Liked it,But.....I get A Kick Outta those kind of Audiences who go

    Yeah, me too... especially after about a 5 minute intro with
    guitar where you know full well what the song is.. the lyrics
    kick in and so do the screamers. Ouch!

    
    Can anyone tell me where the Dylan tribute concert was held in October
    1992?

                        - ICE, The Monthly CD Newsletter  January 1995

    
    .....Tracks for Bob Dylan's Unplugged album, currently scheduled for
    March 7 release , will comprise the eight songs from the MTV broadcast
    (All Along The Watchtower, Shooting Star, Rainy Day Women #12 & #35,
    With God On Our Side, The Times They Are A-Changin', Dignity, Knockin'
    On Heaven's Door, and Like A Rolling Stone) plus five added tracks,
    most likely Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You, Desolation Row,
    Everything Is Broken, Absoletely Sweet Marie, and I Want You. The home
    video version is slated to add two more tracks...
    
    ....Highway 61 Interactive, the new Interactive Music CD-ROM from the
    Irvine, CA based Graphix Zone Inc <due for FEB release>, was created
    with complete cooperation of Dylan's camp and Columbia Records, and
    features previously unreleased music spanning Dylan's career, dozens of
    unseen photographs, and a three-dimensional Dylan fantasy world that
    peeks inside Greenwich Village coffee shops and Columbia recording
    studios from the 60s. The most notable rarity is the previously
    unreleased, unbootlegged, and even unrumored electric version of House
    Of The Rising Sun recorded by Dylan in 1962. Also included is an
    unreleased alternate take of Blowin In The Wind; a funny loose
    alternate take of I Shall Be Free #10 an outtake from Dylan's fourth
    album, 10 minutes of alternate takes of Dylan's classic anthem Like A
    Rolling Stone as the song's progression is traced over two days in the
    studio; video footage of Dylan's recent Supper Club shows in New York;
    and-most surprisingly-excerpts from two songs that Dylan recorded with
    a friend while still in high school in Minesota in the 1950s The
    Hollywood Flames' Buzz Buzz Buzz and Little Richard's Jenny Jenny.
    The Material described by an insider as "very truncated, just a little
    bit scratchy," will nonetheless mark the first-ever release of Dylan
    material recorded when he was still known as Robert Zimmerman. This
    hybrid CD-ROM disc fits both Apple Macintosh (including PowerMacs) and
    IBM-compatible PCs. In addition the disc can be popped into standard
    audio CD player for full-fidelity listen to House Of The Rising Sun.
    That's the only track playable on a regular CD player, however, and
    with a list price of $59.95, it's doubtful that many consumers will 
    buy the CD-ROM just for that one rarity. In 1964, the British group
    The Animals - fronted by Eric Burdon - released an electrified version
    of the old folk song that Dylan had recorded acoustically on his first
    album (in 1962). The Animals' hit is often cited as the genesis of 
    folk-rock, but Graphix Zone maintains that this electrified Dylan
    Performance should rewrite history books to some degree. The track was
    recorded at Columbia Stusios in New York on November 14, 1962, the same
    day Dylan cut his first-ever single for the label, Mixed-Up Confusion.
    Five back-up musicians were featured, and perhaps because Mixed-Up
    Confusion bombed, Dylan wouldn't attempt to record with a full band
    again until the Bringing It All Back Home sessions.
     Explaining why House OF The Rising Sun is the only track you're able
    to play in full-dimensional sound on a stereo system, an involved
    source tells ICE, "It's a space issue. It takes so much space that most
    of the music is sampled, with lesser sound quality. To present it in
    full fidelity takes up too much memory, so we only have one track like
    that."
     Graphix Zone previously released a Prince interactive CD-ROM.
    Comparing it to the Dylan piece "The content on the Dylan is much
    broader and deeper than the Prince title, primarily because of the
    artist: 41 albums, 500+ songs, over three decades of music. And we have
    three different interfaces with this title, versus just one with
    Prince." Graphix Zone is negotiating to compile 14 more music CD-ROMs.

     From Acoustic to electric in 1965, electric to electronic in 1995: Bob
    Dylan's forays into new avenues of expression have led to his latest
    trip, the CD-ROM release Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Interactive.
     The disc debuted in early January at the Consumer Electronics Show and
    is scheduled to appear in stores next week, with a suggested retail
    price of $59.95. It's Dylan's first CD-ROM, and places him among a
    growing cadre of performers that include Peter Gabriel and the elfin
    pop tart formerly known as Prince.
     Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Interactive is a thoroughly researched product,
    with encyclopedic compilations of album facts, song lyrics, animations,
    archive interviews and a one-of-a-kind multimedia database. There are
    intresting graphics, four extremely cool full-length videos and
    interviews with Dylan contemporaries such as Al Kooper, Eric Clapton,
    Richie Havens, Lou Reed and Rosanne Cash.
     Best of all, there are previously unreleased gems that will add to any
    Dylan collection. Brightest among these is Dylan's version of House Of
    The Rising Sun, recorded the same year as his first album - 1962 - and
    two years before the Animals' chart-topping version.
     The disc is packed full of similar choice bits, but Dylan fans may
    notice something missing: Dylan. There are no new interviews or other
    direct Dylan touches on the disc, despite its wealth of material about
    his life and work.
     Dylan is notoriously protective of his time and rarely gives
    interviews, nevermind the sort of access that this product would have
    needed. But with all the previously compiled background information
    about Dylan, the software designers at Irvine, Calif.-based Graphix
    Zone disc had no shortage of material. What they also had was a
    problematic subject, one whose largest fan base pushes the upper limit
    of the demographic target zone for multimedia releases.
     So instead of investing energy in the high wow-factor flashy effects
    that are aimed at the MTV generation, the disc designers took a more
    leisurely tack. Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Interactive successfully combines
    all-important graphic and sound content with intresting texual
    information, the Achilles heel for too many multimedia titles.
     The compendium of lyrics is awe-inspiring, with each song catalogued
    by album and title <Wilbury's inclusive?>. There are even
    cross-references to the names of other performers who covered Dylan
    songs. Dylan reads some of his poetry in one sound snippet; other
    graphics feature texts from Rimbaud and Johnny Cash.
     The Graphics are far from breathtaking; still, there is enough visual
    impact to stir intrest, richly textured street scenes of Greenwich
    Village are among the strongest images. Most Dylan fans will have seen
    the now-classic video for Subterranean Homesick Blues and the footage
    of Dylan and John Lennon mugging for cameras.
     There are two filmed songs from his 1993 appearances at New York
    City's the Supper Club that only the people who were there have seen.
    The full-length clip for Masters Of War is another stand-out moment,
    even without the morphed images that preceed it.
     But before running out to buy the disc, make sure that the
    requirements do not exceed your system's limitations.
     Each disc runs on IBM-compatible Windows systems, or Macintosh and
    PowerMac machines. To play on Windows, a user will need a multimedia
    computer with a double speed CD-ROM drive and a 16-bit sound card. The
    machine should have a 486SX microprocessor running at 25 MHz or faster.
    (Play was sluggish on 486/33; better on 486/50.) Four megabytes of RAM
    is the absolute minimum, but eight is always recommended for good
    multimedia performance.
     Mac or PowerMac users also need a multimedia machine with a
    double-speed CD-ROM and eight megabytes of RAM.

    When does the unplugged home video come out? Is it March 7th also?
    The last note mentioned the home video version will add two tracks.
    Is that two more tracks then the LP/CD or two more then the MTV
    broadcast?

     .....At the last minute, those two high-school tracks (Buzz Buzz Buzz
    and, Jenny Jenny) were dropped off Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Interactive
    CD-ROM. One would expect that Dylan protested, but no - the licensing
    society, BMI, wanted too much money. "We were getting ready to use
    them," Graphizx Zone president Chuck Cortright tells ICE, "but they
    wanted a fortune for them. Then they wanted a per-disc royalty on top
    of that, and they wanted to limit the term to just three years. Of all
    the things we have on the disc, that was the only problem we had."
