Today's Featured Artist..

Robert Zimmermann aka Bob Dylan

I know many of his songs, and I just tell you one thing about him: a
friend of mine always called him "The Ninth Nolan". Explanation is a tad
difficult though, as it is a mixture of German regional expressions, and
the name Nolan: the verb 'noelen' (spoken almost in the same way) in
this region means 'to whine, or whinge', and that is exactly the way
Dylan's voice has come over to him, and me. Sorry if this comment
offends anyone, though.

I must admit that Dylan can be a bit of an acquired taste.

No offence take here. I'm the first to admit that Dylan has no singing
voice. I mean, I like Tom Waits. Need I say more?
