Dylan's not the greatest of singers, but he can manage okay when he wants to.  He did well enough on "Lay, Lady, Lay" that it's one of my favs.

Mine too. When I was younger, I noticed that he sounded like a completely different person on that song than others. My sister, who I'd believe b/c she was a big fan, said he was injured in a motorcycle accident and it damaged his voice. I actually do like that sound of his voice in the later stuff, I think it works w/ his persona and the lyrics, but his voice on "Lay, Lady, Lay"  was so strong and full of real singing ability.  Even though it didn't slow him down, I think it was a real loss.

Nah, I don't think the motorcycle accident had anything to do with his voice.  I read somewhere that he quit smoking around the time of "Lay, Lady, Lay", but I don't know if that's true either.

/By the way, he was supposed to do the soundtrack for the 1969 movie Midnight Cowboy, but he bailed out.  "Lay, Lady, Lay" was intended for that project, and probably would have been the title song.

As it happened, the title song was Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin' At Me".

OK, I just now saw the GCP thread on this topic, and the ignorance is infuriating.  It reminds me why I left.

Which specter would leave her very happy were it true.  As it is, she's slapped me on ignore.  So, I returned the "favor".

I'm not quite clear on the source of your fury; please 'splain.  I'll be more than happy to join you if I understand why.

She spoke of her Alinsky training and as having been one.  Isn't that part of Alinsky training?  Sort of a takkia thing.

I forgot about that "Alinsky training" and the authority it bestowed.

The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
