Even Geniuses grow old. Nobody comes close to Dylan. He's kind of the Shakespeare of pop music. And still writing great songs.

A point I saw Leonard Cohen make some time ago. He said Bob Dylan showed how one could make a living as a poet in the Modern World.
We're going to do a Dylan Birthday show June 8, assembling a big crowd of local musicians, and will do nothing but Dylan songs all evening. Should be fun. Even I can sing some of Dylan's songs.

The street light glare lit up the night
Its gleem stopped just outside my sight
The porter gathered tickets for the ride
The shadows swallowed up all my pride
Morning brought on a brand new scence
Turning all the veterans back to green
The thieft was looking for a bank to rob
I'll stop here and say Happy birthday Bob
Cheers
Paul

I've always thought Dylan to be HIGHLY overrated.
