UKB demographic not as ardent Bob-cats as children of the 50s and 60s?

The three 1960s amphetamine albums are essential, and still get played at chateau duncan, I'm a qualified admirer of the rest.

I had heard the Judas episode on the bootleg series but hadn't seen it. Also loved Bob's reaction to getting asked stupid questions by journalists.

Top man.

Post by: Iesu on May 25, 2011, 04:41:41 pm: there was something on the tv sat night i watched while pissed (luckily recorded it for sober viewing) about the 60's folk americana and the civil rights movement. Very very interesting watching, particularly interviews with Robbie Robertson about his/their time with Bob and later work.

i second the motion

When I first read Andy's post I thought it was about some old climber in Sheffield that I didn't know. I was so embarrassed when I realised what he was talking about that I didn't post anything. :-[

Now after a couple of glasses of wine I wish the great man a happy birthday for yesterday.

Blood on the tracks is probably the album album I've played the most in my life, seen me through some good times and some bad. I really should catch up on some of the later ones.

Happy birthday to any old climbers in sheffield called Bob too. :P
