General Discussion

I’m a decade or so behind you and Bob, so my initial exposure was definitely his “transitioned” music. Only later did I start exploring his more traditional folk catalog. Both catalogues are impressive for their compositions and lyrical messages, and I dare say that much of his music will still be listened to long after any of us have departed.

I never had the chance to see him live, but as it happens he is performing at Willie Nelson’s 4th of July concert in Austin tomorrow and my wife and I are going. Never saw Willie either, so it’s an opportunity to see and hear two music icons. I won’t be thinking about either’s political views while I listen to their music. Does that make me a bad Democrat? I don’t think so, just one musician enjoying the artistry of two giants in the world of music. Politics will still be there come Monday morning.
