I know September 11th was a couple of days ago already, but it's been on my mind because... I think today's the day I'm going to buy Bob Dylan's new album. It has been a while since I've been excited about a new Dylan album, but my pilgrimage this summer to see him perform at a very small outdoor venue in Lloydminster (Sask side), of all places, kind of rekindled my flaming passion for the man's music. Of which, rest assured, more later.
If you ask folks what they think of when you say, "September 11th," Bob Dylan fans are the only ones who will instantly say, "Love & Theft!" (Dylan's album of that name was released on Sept. 11th, 2001 - a fact I couldn't resist noting in a comic strip story about Sept. 11th, published back in 2002!)
And now, a decade later, the ever-enigmatic Dylan has another album out, which was slated to be released on September 11th, 2012. Why? Who knows! And even if it does have some kind of significance to anyone, does it make any difference to me? Probably not (although, if it turns out that it does, I'll definitely post an update!). But I'm still going to go out and get it.
