Although the older Bob Dylan is not a patch
on the younger Bob Dylan. His last few albums have been
good. The first volume of his autobiography was just fanatastic.
So I was disappointed to hear rumours that he wanted to
collaborate with Paul McCartney. Why, oh why? I am not a great
fan of the Beatles, but Paul's solo stuff is just shit and dull.
Even more weirdly I learnt that Bob was going to make
a Christmas album. The one track from youtube I have seen,
I really like. So perhaps, Bob is trying is hand at making
good art from unpromising building blocks. Will he get pot
head Sir Paul to change a habit of a lifetime and produce
a reasonable song. If he does I will be impressed.
