As Dylan turns 80, we select five of the best cover versions of his songs, from Neil Young, Joan Osborne, Bruce Springsteen, Chrissie Hynde and Fairport Convention. Plus the usual news and politics.
The take on some Oregon residents wanting to join a Greater Idaho could portend a dramatic trend, important politically; economically; socially; and culturally to other parts of the country. Thanks for including it in today's post.
Wow, you really hit the jackpot with this post! Thanks for leaving us a day's worth of great tunes. It's hard to imagine Dylan at 80, but then again, it's hard to imagine any of us at 80, as well. Yet...
I know. I have no favorite Dylan songs, only all (or most) of them. BTW, I love the Playing for Change video cover of All Along the Watchtower. It's spooky, just like it should be. The Nevilles rule! I can send you a link if you're not familiar with it.
Greg, thank you for the Fairport BBC Percy's Song. It indeed cuts the Unhalfbricking version which ain't half bad itself!
