In reply to Doug Bleggi. I suspect that Dylan at this point could see Cthulhu himself come up on stage and just kinda shrug.

As much as I’m still amused by the Soy Bomb moment as it was, I really love Tom B’s assessment of it from his Time Out of Mind piece…

“What strikes me is Dylan himself. Before Portnoy’s interruption, that had been a great Dylan performance — Dylan and his band all fully locked in, guitars quietly growling and purring, Dylan’s voice a rasping and decayed husk of the nasal twang that had helped make him famous a few decades earlier. And after Portnoy, it remained a great performance. Dylan didn’t react to the interruption at all. He didn’t stop singing or playing, and as security pulled Portnoy away, Dylan merely glanced at him, bored. This was nothing to Dylan. Dylan had already seen everything.”

I really hope that that is ODB’s actual handwriting.

Radiohead winning album of the year for OKC is the only thing which could have made this night of nights better. Can’t say enough good things about the 1998 Grammys. Just a great, great, great, great ceremony, I’m really happy to have watched it on the television set.

This was an excellent read, especially the Fiona Apple story.

I bet Aretha could come out and sing “Hallowed Be Thy Name” if you gave her an hour with the lyric sheet and the original. I think Mikey Nels would die on the spot, smiling orgasmically.
