2009-10-14 Wednesday - Bob's Christmas Album

You may have heard the rumors, but it's true. Bob Dylan has released a Christmas album.

I fear we have passed the end of the beginning and are, in fact at the beginning of the end...



Merry Christmas anyway.

Is this for real? I had to listen and could not help from laugh!

Nope, sorry not listening; I want to remember Bob's other songs in my mind.

It's all for real (fortunately or unfortunately). The money all goes to several charities, so it's for a worthy cause. Unfortunately Bob's voice doesn't lend itself to these songs. One person refers to it as "[he's] gargled with battery acid" and I find that pretty accurate.

Bob's canon is eclectic at best and I think this pushes those boundaries further by an order of magnitude. If he was out in left field before, now he's in the parking lot outside the stadium.
