THEY GROW UP SO FAST


As per usual, I'm late to the party. Bob Dylan turned 70 a couple weeks ago, and the blogs went apeshit. Here's just a sampling of what's out there. These are just the ones with either multiple songs, or oddballs of some sort; a mix of mp3s, full mix downloads and what not. Let's start it out with a novel, yet enjoyable, video of Mark Ronson's remix of "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine," featuring the Dap Kings. You purist farts can lighten up, this sucker sounds good with the horns, and it's a clever multi-era tribute of sorts:



Now onto a few of my current favorite covers, for no specific reason, and the Ronson remix, followed by the rest of what is sometimes referred to as a link dump. I could have kept going for an indeterminate amount of time, there's just so much out there. When visiting these blogs, it was nice to realize that it isn't an age thing. Dylan's music, and the high regard it elicits, ain't going nowhere. Dig it or don't, I had to tip my hat. Late, but tipped nonetheless.
