Trying to define what I love most about Bob Dylan was always sort of wandering in a forest – in a forest of thoughts and words and music…
No doubt, Dylan is the best lyricist ever. He’s a poet. And we know it. Yes.. But how brilliant is the music! Has anybody in this world created something that sounds as magnificent as “Mr. Tambourine Man” sounds, for example? Well, honestly, yes is the answer. Still the melody I’m talking about is very good and, say, hypnotizing. You can just sit and listen to this song forever, never thinking about today until tomorrow. It gives you pure emotions, best knowledge, whatever you want. And that is a perfect kind of feeling. Yes.. But all this comes of his personality! Deep, complicated.. Besides, I think Bob has one trait that really makes people quiet – his wonderful ability to be the best. I mean whenever I watch him doing or saying something, he catches my mind in a trap. You are looking at him and actually feel that no one else, here and there, no one else can be better. Why?.. They say he is the best of all. Yeah, may be.. But one thing I know for sure – he has always been the best of himself.
Modern Times? So what about modern times? Dylan as he is nowadays is my favorite Dylan. True genius, wise, conscious, with all his awesome memories and conclusions. He has nothing to win and nothing to lose now even more than ever.
Poetic eyes, grand voice of Mr. Bob Dylan – that’s how I know life’s shining in a moment, in its glory.
