Happy Birthday, Bob Dylan

[filkertom]

On this date in 1941.

Let's have an all-Dylan playlist today. I'll start it off with "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right".

(And, at some point today, our mythical radio station will play "Traditional Folksinger's Lament" by Eric Bogle.)

Can we have cover versions? If so, I'm for "All Along the Watchtower" (by Jimi, of course) with a live version of "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" by Tom Petty cued up for sometime later.

Please tell me you've heard a live Dave Matthews Band version of "Watchtower." Because OMG, it's the most exquisitely sinister take on the song I've ever heard.

While we're on the subject of covers, let's get really weird and throw Falco's cover of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" in the mix. (Yes, that Falco. It was the last track on Falco 3, the album that broke him Stateside.)

No, I haven't, but that's because I haven't really gone out and gotten DMB live. I bet it sounds great, though.

The Falco sounds wild. I'll have to go look for it, too. Thanks!

I really enjoyed Neil Young's version of Watchtower at the Dylan 50th party. WAILED on that Les Paul.

And while we're at it, throw in Manfred Mann's The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo).
