As if I didn’t feel old enough, the death of Les Paul and thinking back to the ‘Summer of Love’ at Woodstock, my good buddie Craig Rutman, the Apex of Real Estate in North Carolina sent me a note.

If you don’t know Craig he’s the ActiveRainer scouring the internet, visiting every site possible, so I don’t have to!

Craig Rutman Blog

Well Craig, sent me a link this morning that curled my graying hair!

It was about Bob Dylan, song writer and performer extraordinaire, (please tell me you remember him).  He actually started his career in the folk scene in NYC in the early 60’s.  His idols were, of course, Woody Guthrie and Ramblin’ Jack Ellitiott.  Still foggy, how bout "Blowing in the Wind".

Dylan 1962

We’re not talking 40 years since Woodstock, we’re talking 50 years full of Bob Dylan music.

Fast forward to July 23, 2009!  A great day in Ocean County!  Bob Dylan will be playing at Blue Claws Stadium (home of the Blue Claws, surprising isn’t it?) otherwise know as First Energy Park in Lakewood, Ocean County.

Unfortunately, Lakewood’s not what it once was, so the performers had (?) to stay in Long Branch (Monmouth County, NJ).

I guess Robert Zimmerman, AKA Bob Dylan, needed to walk.  So he did..around a area of Long Branch many will say is not so nice.

Well, a police report ensues…suspicious character wandering around…

Guess who, Bob Dylan with no ID, two 20 something cops, and a trip back to Dylan’s hotel, because the 20 something’s didn’t have a clue!!  Click here to read about the whole episode, not mentioned yet in our local papers!

So tell me Mr. Dylan…How Does It Feel (Like a Rolling Stone) .

Funny how artists voices change over the years. I saw Stevie Nicks a few years ago - voice is the same, but doesn't have the range she did years ago. I don't remember this time of Dylan, but his voice seems much cleaner and clearer in the younger days.

That's hilarious. Bob Dylan is and has always been my favorite musician. There are many of the younger crowd that do not know who he is, but they all know his music because it's constantly copied by others. Love the picture of you Laura.

Laura, I'm not sure if I forced my son to listen to Bob Dylan, but he certainly knows all the lyrics to the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, the Scorpions, etc... the poor kid endured all the rock and roll I could listen to, on the way to daycare, and back home, and while cleaning the house, etc.  Now he forces me to listen to RAP. :)

Great photo of you and your friend.  I have a few of those hanging around (same pants and blouse). :)

Aren't women like good wines?  Don't we get better with age? :)
