BOOTLEGGING BOB… THE STORY OF THE GWW
Here are my reflections on Bootlegging Bob by James C. Klagge:
I have seen Bob live 6 times. In Blacksburg at Cassell Coliseum in December, 1989, with G.E. Smith leading his back-up band. That was good. In April, 1993 at Radford. That was abysmal. In November, 1994 in Roanoke, which was good. In Burruss Hall at Virginia Tech on April 29, 2001. That was a great concert, and you can read my review of it here. On June 9, 2004, Nick and I saw him perform in Salem. It was another very good concert, which I reviewed here. Then there was an OK show at the Salem minor-league ballpark on June 10, 2005, reviewed here.
Bob never lived down to our expectations of him, and that is what I like most about him. I also like Neil Young a lot for that reason. My appreciation of both of these performers was most enhanced by reading books about them by Paul Williams. Especially, Bob Dylan: Performing Artist, The Middle Years (1974-1986). This book also turned me on to finding bootleg cds of Dylan concerts and unreleased studio work, from 1960 through the present. I have hundreds of these, and it can be an addiction. Here are my reflections on Bootlegging Bob.

She’s got everything she needs
She’s an artist, she don’t look back
She’s got everything she needs
She’s an artist, she don’t look back
She can take the dark out of nighttime
And paint the daytime black.
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole
Down upon your knees.
She never stumbles
She’s got no place to fall
She never stumbles
She’s got no place to fall
She’s nobody’s child
The Law can’t touch her at all.
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks
She’s a hypnotist collector
You are a walking antique.
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
For Halloween give her a trumpet
And for Christmas, buy her a drum.She belongs to me - Bob Dylan
