Hehehe - I do remember. You have the bladder of a horse.


Then you need to be sentenced to a week in isolation listening to Elvis sing his immortal cinematic classic song "Do The Clam" on repeat on your iPod.


HAHAHAHA Ok it's a deal, but you have to listen to Back To Zero for the same duration!

Good ones, Cindy and Gazza! Very funny

way too much information

I just like to lull people into a false feeling of security....

Hey all of Prince's music is gospel music, just listen to "Deliriuos" from the 1999 album or "Get On The Boat" from the new jam. Even "Purple Rain" has a countryish feel to it, sounded like the Band, if you open your minds and put on some dancing shoes. I have seen Dylan, the Stones and just about everybody else but the best show hands down was Prince at the Kodak theatre, 2002. He rocked it. He was pretty good for a relic from the 80's. I saw him in '98 at the Key Club in Boss Angeles and Halle Berry was standing next to me and the show was hotter than her. Dylan's the greatest, the Stones are the greatest but when the Midget plays, everybody is represented, if you get my drift and that is ROCK AND ROLL.

I like Prince, but tend towards the lesser known stuff, like his '96 "Chaos & Disorder," "Dirty Mind" & "The B Sides" over PR (the title track is like an 80s Stairway to Heaven, which I don't intend as a compliment)
Also I like the AMG series, especially AMG Jazz, & AMG Blues, but forget the star system - editors naturally assign artists to writers who are likely to like or know the music, tho not always, & even w/ the Stones you sense there are a few the writer didn't bother returning to before turning in his entry...

sad sad sad but so true, great post

Sorry to bring this one up again, but after now around 50 plays I am seeing this album as the best record since London Calling. I think in future decades people will go back to this record with awe, somehow like how Exile grew over time, its really that good. The Bobster pulls the ace on the rock n roll poker table.

I love Bob's new album, I think it's fantastic.

But I agree with Ket. It's not even close to being as good as albums like Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding, or his greatest album: Blood on the Tracks.

But it is better than anything by The Clash

Apples and oranges.

I agree with humanriff77 Modern Times compares favourably with any album Bob has ever released although i wouldn't go quite so far as saying it's unquestionably his best.
It's a fine abum - the best of the new millenium alongside Love And Theft.
It will never be a groundbreaker like Bob's early albums obviously but this doesn't prevent it being one of his best and most enjojable.

......oh it's completely groundbreaking..............I know of no other 65 year old making this kind of consistently good music that is relevant and current!!!
Workingman's Blues #2 is simply..........stunning........Ain't Talking is a master conducting class......rockabilly/blues/jazz I think the album is HUGE for him..........it's a revisting of many genres he has mastered like few others....and then try having a go at the lyrics........

enjoying it, a little more, every time i play it.

So has anyone cued up this 62-minute album with Chaplin's 87-minute film of the same name? Wondering if there are any parallels along the lines of those shared by The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz.

I think it is excellent, a work of maturity.
Like late J. Cash is the music of maturity.

Oily.

Yeah, what is this thing about the Wizard Of Oz and the Dark Side Of The Moon? Can someone please enlighten me as to what the relationship is?

Thanks
