I'm reading that this is NOW, that's his voice is back and he's playing guitar. Waiting to see confirmation somewhere else.

THAT was good. And unexpected.
They were clearly not playing live, and so it was basically a series of beautifully shot music videos.
And, with a little research, it's easy to see what he was doing - reprising his other "concert" shot in front of a bunch of lumberjacks back at the beginning of his career. Nice.

Its a subjective thing for sure. I think that same thing sometimes about some pop music or when someone pushes a 25 year old expert in just about any subject in my face. But I digress.
Dylan is pretty special to me (again subjectively) Like most things that are worth carrying with me when I venture outside the box, his prolific gift is woven through my experiences. I guess that makes it personal when someone says they don't like him. I'm curious but respectfully unflustered. Lol
To me, Dylan is a songwriter troubadour culturist street performer writ large bohemian warrior poet hero.
I've seen him many times beginning with the Rolling Thunder Review to about a year & a half ago in Boulder. No two shows were alike & they were all great.
While fair enough no artist is for everyone, Dylan's place in history is firmly sealed for all time. Meanwhile, he clearly has no fucks to give about what anyone thinks about him. The best ones never do.
Of course. I don't question the taste of fans of Bob Dylan. Not one bit. There are plenty of artists, of great fame or barely known, that I have little time for. Doesn't make me wrong. Or right. Just not my thing. I'm happy he's a fave of many here, but Dylan's voice isn't one for me. Unlike politics, where if someone chooses the other side, well then, they are just plain stupid. :-)

I actually just like his music or musicality, the melodies and compositions and even his voice. Most have profound reasons for loving Dylan and the profundity of the man is without question, but just plain ol' liking his songs is usually not what is expressed enough in my opinion. The deep wisdom of his lyrics is just icing on the cake for me.
I was 14 years old when Hard Rain aired on TV. I hadn't known Dylan for long at that time, but I was already obsessed. I remember desperately pleading with my parents to get the family TV to watch it - not an easy task in those days.
