So Bob Dylan has a radio show as I’m sure some of you know. He recently had a show where every song had “eye” in the title. Now, usually he plays stuff exclusively from the 40s / 50s/ 60s but he broke from this proviso during the show to gush about The Streets’ “Dry your Eyes”. It’s a pretty weird intro made all the stranger by the fact that that he’s talking about Mike Skinner, the quintessential English gentleman (exemplified by his performance at Oxegen two years back when he asked the audience to throw bottles of piss at him).
This is a song where he’s just standing there and he can’t say a word. Everything’s just gone. He’s got nothing. Absolutely nothing.

hahaha… Bob Dylan’s voice! What the hell? Is that the way he talks?
It sounds like someone doing an OTT impression of a New Orleans jazzman.

Not sure I’d call it gushing really. He just quotes the lyrics, doesn’t he?
Though he must dig it or he wouldn’t have it on there.

I should listen in more often to Bob, as for the voice, there are tons of unusual voices in the world. DJs are supposed to sound “deep and fake” or they did in olden times (the 60’s anyway) Mickey Dolenz had a radio program here in New York and his voice sounded really cartoony.

woah, that’s kind of weird. I have owned four copies of A Grand Don’t Come For Free in the past couple of years. I think people keep stealing it from my flat. And then I keep buying it again.
