DYLAN
Still cant forgive Geldof for the unspeakable slur in an Uncut Anniversary of Something or Other issue.
Aged Bob is THE marvel.
Our best - better than Lennon or Presley ever got a chance to be (Chuck, mind you, has written as equally a good autobiography - though nowhere near as appreciated).
Taking control of the production is a key factor.
In the 80s and some of 90s the search was on, almost lost at times (Arthur Baker, Petty, The Dead, Til he rmembered JB’s Open The Door - And I’ll Get It Myself).
The focus, the containing its own worldness, of Modern Times is a constant surprise, pleasure…and inspiration.

So what was this slur?? Always thought Geldof was a huge Dylan fan surprised that he would have dissed the great man…right with you on ‘Modern Times’ esp. Workingman’s Blues…pure soul food.
