I dont know if its a coincidence but i woke this morning listening to "like a rolling stone,Along the watchtower,times they are changing,gotta serve somebody,tambourineman,and jokerman". i am a late 70's baby,but i happened love music and our record collection had alot of these very unconventional sounds that tend to prick my novice mind then.i got into the university and i happened to study English Literature.one of my majors was American Literature,where i studied Jack Keroauc,as the pioneer of the Beat generation. Bob Dylan is a great influence on the life of alot of these artists and writers. i think he was the voice of humanity at a time when human societies began losing their true essence. alot of what he sang have contemporary meanings for us these days,and i think we should try to see our generation shift away from the commercial nonsence everybody is nodding to these days.I rever true art which strives to prod a rethink in anybody.the spirits of the likes of Fela kuti,Bob Marley,and the dear Dylan shall forever live because they saw the world for what it is and sang about what it should be.We need a new tradition of these guys...but the times have really changed,all along the watchtower people are trying to see what is ahead of them, coscious that everything is broken,we forgetting the fact that we are supposed to serve somebody.and in our desperations we become jokermen of our follies,and so our lives keep tumbling down like rolling stones!Rest in peace Bob,you live in the mansions of our memories.

Dylan's still alive, and touring... why the r.i.p?
