  sally the werewolf, I first heard Dylan live

  very early 60s, With Joan Baez. I liked her, great voice; I didn't like Dylan, terrible voice. I think I was 12 or 13, my sister and her boyfriend took me.

  Listened to Dylan in late 60s, college, liked a lot, got the albums. Since then, don't have all albums but a good many.

  Seen him only once live since then, in 1980s I think. Hope to see him again live, but not a huge priority, have passed by several opportunities.

  Love his music even more now. Bothers me now and then that he would have gone off on that silly christian phase and sold his music to commercials, an itching sensation that pulls me up short just to realize that even old people can think like adolescents-i've never been one for ideological purity, you see.

  I like his music. I don't know him, nor do I pretend to.

  Like springsteen (he's no van morrison or bob dylan, but he's done some good stuff), blues, classical, old jazz, some post parker. Cds gave access to a lot of rhythm and blues, very nice.

  In short, I'm far from a dylan freak. I know them-they are harmless. Its just a hobby. Their hobby. who cares?

  I liked your posts on norwegian whaling, but your opinion on dylan is silly.

  and don't forget, you are known by the company you keep.
