Sean, after your sternly negative appraisal of Dylan the character, it's surprising to hear you think 'one could compile about four or five superb albums' from his work. My own estimate would be about a dozen - and then the bootlegs, two of which I've worn out in the last four years of driving and they no longer play. I rather like the fact he's keeping the Swedish Academy on tenterhooks. I may have to revise my view about the award having been given him. I think it's likely because he agrees with my assessment of him as a poet. Jamie Sent from my iPad > On 25 Oct 2016, at 20:05, Sean Carey <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > ... Bob Dylan of course I grew up with via the radio and on record. In the overall output of Dylan one could compile about four or five superb albums. Yet it is not his wealth or fame that irks at times but the Bob Dylan image. All of the artists I mentioned show respect for their adoring fans with Peaches probably the least known. Dylan at least could have contacted the Nobel people but this is classic Bob. He might pop up in Oslo and sing Bobby Vee's "Rubber Ball" & dedicate his prize to dear Bobby. > > > > Cheers > > Sean > >
