William sent me his folk-rock mix of the Left Banke, the Byrds, Dylan, Nico, Buffalo Springfield, et al. He also wrote up a song by song guide over at Tangents). I've had a soft spot for the Left Banke since I read that Leonard Bernstein proclaimed the band as a "perfect example of what rock music could be". (And when Leonard recommends something...). Over the past few years I have also been able to appreciate Bob Dylan for more than his "hha-eyyy". Driving around in the car the other weekend, I was listening to Blood On The Tracks, feeling particularly hip, until I realized I am twenty years too late (as usual). Today, however, I'm nursing a sore throat in bed and only dreaming of the open road.
