Yesterday, January 20, 2015, was the 40th anniversary of the release of Bob Dylan’s “Blood on the Tracks.”
Just in case you are keeping track…
This is a good time to bring up the story of my kids starting to listen to Dylan. We were in the car about 5 years ago. “Tangled Up In Blue” was playing on the radio. I told the kids that the song was about 35 years old and that I could listen to it every day. They both agreed it was a good song. We then had a nice discussion about what they were currently listening to. They didn’t think much of what was popular had staying power. They both had a suggestion or two, but I couldn’t begin to tell you what the songs were.
From that conversation my daughter really became a Dylan fan. She now has his entire catalog on her ipod.
Yeah, she and I are both “old school” ipod users.
It really did disappoint me that Apple pulled that product with no warning.
