Dylan is only surpassed by the Beatles in the overrated sweepstakes.

Unusual but considering the day I've been having, it's a great diversion. Sure wish I had written that old War Horse.

Elevator music for us boomer seniors. Consider yourself lucky if you can name the tune or the artist. Extra points for mumbling along with the lyrics.

He is an aging Commie/pinko, he shoulda stuck with imitating Woody Guthrie. The only good thing that happened to Robert Zimmerman was when he connected with The Hawks. The Hawks?

There, your musical trivia question for the day.

Survey sez: Ronnie Hawkins' backing band, early sixties; after leaving Hawkins became what we know as "The Band". Dylan connected with them but The Band had stand-alone talent.

Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks

After parting ways with Hawkins, became "The Band".

People that don't know musical trivia are destined to repeat it.
