Boots and Bob

We went to see Bob Dylan locally. I wanted to look a bit more modern so went to look for some tights and short boots. Got dressed up daughters boyfriend said I looked very rock and roll, good, in a baby boomer way. Its weird to get old in a generation that never intended to. The boots are so cute, they have some fur at the top. The girls want to borrow them. Ends up your feet are the only part of your body that you are happy with anymore, and even they are getting bigger and wider. Went with a since-we-were-12 friend, she likes Elvis best but Bob is all thats left. I said you only get 3 bad comments about him, but I think she only did one. We had nice vietnamese meal first. 

The opening act was The Secret Sisters good country singers, and his band was sooo good sometimes I thought shush Bob let these boys play. Like his latest albums the music seems much more the point and the words kind of random. But I see his point words dont seem as important. I really like the way he mixes genres and re-interprets stuff. At one point they sounded like the big bands. It was the best show of his I've ever seen, except for "Desolation Row" sung in a ridiculous dadada thing desa lation row, all the way through. Maybe he hasnt got the breathe anymore for long sung passages through at the end he sung Stay forever young very sweetly. Anyway I dont know much about singing but I guess at nearly 70 some things have to change. He said in his latest book he had to find a new way of singing. 

We felt good after, a good night but I think I like classical music a bit more now.
