Re: [bomp] good words ain't bad

Well, Domenic, in my old age I've become a Bob Dylan fan (Jeff Shore is spinning in his grave. He's alive? This'll kill him). I've always enjoyed his copyrights done by others: Byrds, what have you.
 
I dig the electric stuff like BLONDE ON BLONDE, BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME,HIGHWAY 69 REVISTED, NASHVILLE SKYLINE. And I used to like all the cuts from DESIRE I used to hear on the radio as a teen, BTW. None of A.Lee's Love lyrics would exist w/o BD showing the way. As John Lennon pointed out "saying nothing and meaning everything."
 And it's hard to beat $1 Wilbury albums with him, Roy, George and that guy from the Move.

Better than Bob Dylan.

Yeh, I'm not one to ever say "better than Bob Dylan" about anyone because 
then lots of people won't take anything you say seriously... but I understand 
this about Arthur's lyrics... and you know what? I saw a dub of the upcoming 
Showtime documentary about SMILE last night, and I gotta say, Van Dyke Parks 
really had some great words going on there... at one point, he just sits there and 
reads a few, and it's really cool to hear him just -- say --some of those 
SMILE lyrics.
