Part of it it is just that I > romanticize Mr. Cohen style over Dylan's. I imagine Mr. Cohen in some > exotic, nameless Italian town. I imagine Mr. Dylan on someone else's > couch. I'm not sure I'd place any kind of positive/negative musical value judgment on either locale. And I kinda feel like if I found myself in the nameless exotic Italian town, I'd also be on someone's couch, so... Anyway, it's Dylan for me, certainly, although I do like Cohen. Dylan's musical settings are just more specifically "him"... there are Cohen tracks which, divorced from their musical settings, sound to me as if they could be anyone. Well, there are some Dylan tracks about whom that might be said, too, but none (well, few) of the resulting instrumentals might be confused with the backing tracks of artists I really dislike, and there are some, particularly later, Cohen songs where the instrumentation and/or production wouldn't interest me on its own, and suffices only to not impede the songs... whereas I would probably enjoy the last three Zimmerman records as instrumental albums. But I'm a woodhick what plays the guitar, so there's that. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:52:11 -0500 From: "Bachman, Michael" Subject: RE: Gram Parsons with The Flying Burrito Bros - Live At The Avalon Ballroon 1969 - -----Original Message----- From: owner-fegmaniax@smoe.org [mailto:owner-fegmaniax@smoe.org] On Behalf Of kevin Sent: Friday, November 16, 2007 7:50 PM To: 2fs Cc: Bachman, Michael; fegmaniax@smoe.org Subject: Re: Gram Parsons with The Flying Burrito Bros - Live At The Avalon Ballroon 1969 >>Whoever's responsible for "We Built This City" - that's who they should've >got. >I think that was the work of the unspeakable Mickey Thomas, who was OK doing "Fooled Around'n'Fell In Love" for Elvin Bishop but really should have quit while he was ahead. I saw EB back in 1976 opening up for Bob Seger. Some drunken asshole was throwing firercrakers inside the Pontiac Silverdome during the concert.
