Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan

Words fail me.



Seriously -- between this and that astounding Springsteen performance of "Because the Night" from last November, I think we have to come to grips with the fact that Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is the best music show on TV at the moment.

That was . . . uncanny.

I know. It's even better than Cate Blanchett in "I'm Not There," heretofore the gold standard for Dylan impersonations.

Blanchett had the style down. Fallon . . . holy shit, the voice . . .

I heard Dylan's "If Not for You" on the way in this morning. I like that one better than Olivia Neutron Bomb's cover.

I also like the fact I can post here as I can't at Artois' place.

Why can't you post at Stella Artois?

The new commenting system doesn't fully load on my borg computer. I figure there's some website that the borg doesn't like or some such. Anyway, I can't post comments at work.

On my hand-held device, most of the time I can't even see them.

Very irksome.

Billy B said...

Hecate can't post at work either. Now the comments won't completely load over there, so I can't even lurk. Like you say, very irksome.

Annoying as haloscan was, the text was the most iPhone friendly. Echo annoyed the bejeebus out of me, and I haven't been on lately to try the new format.

Billy B said...

geor3ge, agreed on both points. A lot of people (including yours truly) were bitching about the new commenting system last eve. Jeff Pres mentioned that he had stopped trying to get Black to use the system Dirk Gently devised, forty-two. Black posted that he had never received an email concerning forty-two from either JP or Dirkly. After a little back and forth, JP emailed Artois with the details about forty-two. Maybe Artois will switch to Dirk's system. It works pretty well.

I saw that post about "nobody emailed me." That was really a steaming load of bullshit.

IS that really Fallon singing?

Holy shit.
