Hard to believe but Robert Zimmerman (AKA Bob Dylan) is on the cover of the AARP magazine!!! They've gotten an interview out of him, and it seems he loved Frank Sinatra and has just released a CD of Sinatra standards!!!!! I heard two excerpts of it on NPR and I can confidently report that it is dreadful. Can you imagine him singing "Autumn Leaves" or "Strangers in the Night?" No, I can't either... and I almost wonder if it's all a big joke (but they say it isn't).
 
Did you miss his Christmas single?
"Sleigh Lady Sleigh"
 
Hehehehe... you guys. Those are good. "Passing in My Wind?"

Good one!

Guess he won't be "Forever Young"...

But he ain't "Knocking on Heaven's Door" yet...

Wonder if he's got the "Fixin' to Die Blues"...

This could go on forever!
 
Who is Bob Dylan? :highly_amused:
 
OK, I actually heard his version of "Some Enchanted Evening" (yes, the Rogers and Hammerstein song)... and perhaps this is, like really bitter beer, an acquired taste. Hated it. Still, evidently "What'll I Do" (an Irving Berlin tune I love) is also on it, and the idea of that intrigues me.

OK, Elliot, I couldn't resist. Did. This guy (at the New Yorker), in his own round-about-way, admits it might be an acquired taste. I like the "standards" more as the standards. To me Dylan's voice belongs elsewhere. Frankly, I'd think the same way if Sinatra did "Blowin' In The Wind" (etc.). :p

As for the interview in AARP (which I just read), it didn't take me places... except to demonstrate that Dylan is not a god. :peaceful: LOL

LOLOLOL Man that is bad... bit like William Shatner or Leonard Nemoy as singers of anything. Them's not very green acres.

Who knows, before long there will be a post of Dylan from the current album.
