Bob Dylan Bootleg Series #8 - How much would YOU pay?
Posted August 18th, 2008 by Allison Brock
OK, it's been a while between blogs again. Time to get back at it.
Bob Dylan is still on his Never-Ending Tour, & is set to have Volume 8 of his official bootleg series released in early October.
If you're a regular Night Moves listener you may have already heard "Dreamin' Of You', a great unreleased track from Bob's "Time Out Of Mind" album.
While I was checking out the info. on this track at Bob's web site I hit the link to Pre-Order the disc & saw these options for purchasing it. Now I love Bob, but...!
How much will YOU pay?? I think there will be some pretty bummed fans out there who see this as a money grab. Let's face it folks...even Bob isn't able to keep free downloads off the web.
While you're pondering how much hard-earned cash you'll part with, see how many words you can make out of BOBDYLAN. Here's a few to begin with...AND - LAND - BLAND - LOB - BLOB...now over to you.
lay lady lay (words found in dylan's name)
