Modern times


Dylan praises Springsteen


In an interview covering his new Modern times album, Bob Dylan gives Bruce Springsteen some praise .

The USA Today newspaper published yesterday an interview with Bob Dylan. The artist talks about his new and excellent new album Modern Times, comments on the current state of pop music and has time to praise Bruce with these words:

"The performers who changed my life were individuals," he says. "They didn't conform to any sense of reality but their own. The last performer who stood up to be counted as an original is Bruce Springsteen, I think. Individuals move me, not mobs. People with originality, whether it's Hector, Achilles, Ted Turner or Jerry Lee Lewis or Hank Williams."

I havn’t heard all the album yet. However I heard the track Ain't Talkin' on Stockmans radio show on Sunday. I liked what I heard. When I get my pocket money I will invest wisely.

I am very much looking forward to misterjonny's wise investment so I can nab the album and have a wee listen. The prospect of more wonderful Bob in the CD collection is most welcome and quite exciting.

Yes misterjonny, what's yours is mine and what is mine is my own...And that's all there is to be said about that then.
