Bill Pagel posted my review of Dylan's Edmonton show on his site, www.boblinks.com! Thanks Bill! I sure wish I had been this internet-savvy fifteen years ago when I was writing illustrated reviews of Bob Dylan shows on a regular basis. I will just have to make amends for that by posting those old ones now, a little bit at a time. Meanwhile, after all this time, it looks like Bill Pagel is still out there keeping track of all of Bob's shows and set lists. It is such a cool project, and must take a lot of time and work, considering Bob Dylan is constantly performing. Here is a picture I found of Bill from a few years back, hard at work restoring Dylan's original home in Duluth, Minnesota. I met Bill a few times at shows long ago (although doubtless he doesn't remember me) - I do seem to recall one time... might have been in Normal, Illinois... when he had some extra tickets and passed them along to my friend & to me. How could I ever forget something like that! (Well, I've probably forgotten the city it happened in. I think it was somewhere in the so-called midwest. I'm not so good at remembering that kind of thing!)
By the way, it seems a bit odd to me that I've been writing so much about Bob Dylan in here. Don't get me wrong! Still perhaps the single most creative artist alive today! But I do think about other stuff, too. Must just be the buzz of recent Dylan excitement in my life that's spilling into this little blog. All right! On to other things! And thanks again, Bill!
