i found this quote to be pretty funny concerning dylan's upcoming christmas album:

Dylan has been fairly mum about the Christmas album, although in a recent interview for Rolling Stone he said, "Well my daddy, he didn't leave me much, you know he was a very simple man, but what he did tell me was this, he did say, son, he said, you know it's not possible to be Santa Claus unless you come down Santa Claus lane." Then he sat back slowly in his chair, rubbing his pencil-thin moustache.

remember the infamous bobism after receiving an award on tv when he talked about his dad and what he told him? seems like mr. zimmerman actually left his son quite a bit....

(1991 Grammy Lifetime Achievement acceptance speech)

"Well," he said, "my daddy, he didn't leave me much, you know he was a very simple man,
but what he did tell me was this, he did say, son, he said"
- there was a long pause, nervous laughter from the crowd -
"he say, you know it's possible to become so defiled in this world
that your own father and mother will abandon you and if that happens,
God will always believe in your ability to mend your ways."

Bob's crooning Christams tunes. Bob's "Christmas In The Heart" will be released October 13. I hear we can expect more of that accordian.......and maybe cowbell.

How about Smilin' Bob?

I'm hoping for plenty of 'upsinging' too

haven't heard much upsinging from bob of late...and apparently the new album is all just him solo on guitar, done in the fashion of a 1920's blooze singer...could be interesting....those early 90's solo guitar albums were great....

Seiously, I read a readers's post on Amazon or somewhere saying that the accordian is prominent on it, just like on TTL. I may have been exaggerating about the cowbell.

accordion's a pleasure, but partying is grief.....or something.
