Without the British cover of a morbidly obese character in a "I'm #1 So Why Try Harder" t-shirt exchanged for a wall jammed wooden shelf, something wa...

Everything changes...just do what you think you should do..."-To Ramona So here we have Another Side Of Bob Dylan, arguably the best of Bob's acoustic years if you want relationship songs and not political ones.    It seems trite to say that since maybe that means this is the most political album of the first 4.  The real p...

We know now that 2 speaking as one leads not to the “3rd way” of Ralph Nader as the “Testify” video implies.  Politics has become unsafe at any speed in the environment this album foreshadowed.  You may vot...

My introduction to ODB was a little backward.  I had the...
