When I was in Duluth, my friends Peter and Cindy were playing a (vinyl) collection of Bob Dylan titled “biograph.” It has versions of a lot of songs I’d never heard. I ordered it the next day, and am playing it now. If you’re a Dylan fan, check it out.
I think in future ages, Dylan will be recognized as a poet on the level of Chaucer. When I really listen to some of those lyrics, even these many years later, I’m stunned.
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
I'm going to have to stop looking at your Blog, it keeps costing me money :0)
Have you heard Mike Oldfield's "The Songs of Distant Earth" ??
Another must buy !!!
Agreed. Dylan up to his motorcycle wreck was a genius, with Highway 61 the top of the mountain. Maybe we could call it the Book Of Bob ( "God Said to Abraham…"). Don't know what happened in that wreck but it changed everything.
