As most of you know, today is Bob Dylan's 71st birthday, so I wanted to mark the occasion appropriately by linking to a popular singer of today singing Bob (see, that's the sellout portion of the post).
Here's an 18-year-old Adele singing "Make You Feel My Love" (Garth Brooks sang this on a Sandra Bullock movie soundtrack, I believe).
And here's Bob himself singing one of my favorites "Tangled Up in Blue" (pretty sure this is from The Last Waltz--considered by many to be the best concert film ever made, and it's directed by Martin Scorsese).
PS--almost went for a heavy-handed version of "Masters of War" or "Hurricane"--both great songs and would have tied in w/ recent posts. But the idea of the Thursday Night Music Club is to give ourselves a little break from such weightiness. Enjoy. And Happy Birthday, Robert Allen Zimmerman; thanks for all the great music.

Hear, hear. And, to keep the ball rolling, the man himself at his ramblingest.

The bit in the Boston restaurant is a miniature masterpiece of passive aggression.
Let me try that link again.
