Heard him do "Country Pie" live in 2000, a rare airing for that song. The crowd responded very enthusiastically, and he said something about how we seemed to be "a lot of hungry people out there." 27 minutes, including a silly song about pie, an instrumental, and a Johnny Cash duet. Nashville Skyline!

Haha. Yes, it certainly breezes by! There’s some lovely classic sounding country on there, and Bob’s voice sounding like the contented cat who got the cream.

Thanks, Damian.
I wrote it for his 60th birthday, so that's going back a while.

For contemporary music, I like EDM, specifically house or progressive house at 180 bpm. It's exhilarating, motivating music. It makes me want to run forever, and it makes me want to study.

Nashville Skyline is a nice little detour after the wild mercury sound of 1965-66. But it was probably coming, if you listen to The Basement Tapes and the last few songs off John Wesley Harding. I like New Morning too Mark, particularly the first 3 or 4 songs and most of all 'The Man in Me'. Btw, it's rumoured that 'Went to See the Gypsy' is about Dylan meeting Elvis.

He does use the male pronoun in "Gypsy."

Went to See the Gypsy

Went to see the gypsy
Stayin' in a big hotel
He smiled when he saw me coming
And he said, "Well, well, well"
His room was dark and crowded
Lights were low and dim
"How are you?" he said to me
I said it back to him

I went down to the lobby
To make a small call out
A pretty dancing girl was there
And she began to shout
"Go on back to see the gypsy
He can move you from the rear
Drive you from your fear
Bring you through the mirror
He did it in Las Vegas
And he can do it here"

Outside the lights were shining
On the river of tears
I watched them from the distance
With music in my ears

I went back to see the gypsy
It was nearly early dawn
The gypsy's door was open wide
But the gypsy was gone
And that pretty dancing girl
She could not be found
So I watched that sun come rising
From that little Minnesota town
From that little Minnesota town

Now you've gone too far...

But since you did — BD would be the perfect troubadour to craft The Ballad of Roger and Mickey.

I believe that should be The Ballad of Roger* and Mickey
