My 19-year-old-son and two of his university buddies in the basement blasting Dylan on a used vinyl album they picked up in a record store today.

It occurs to me that I copped two of my Dylan albums from trash cans over ten years apart🤔

Cover of Dylan's 1966 album Blonde On Blonde. Cover of Dylan's 1985 compilation album Biograph.

Maybe they're laughing at your and my affection for him. Does he seem outdated to them? To my millennial children, he seems authentic. Maybe the zoomers see through him, think he's arrogant.

At the ripe age of 68 I think one of the things I miss most in life is the joy of buying a new recording by a favorite band, examining all the liner notes, having a friend over, and sharing some jazz cabbage as we discussed the relative merits of the album. Good times.

We were gifted a record player for the restaurant from a friend when his father passed, we promptly went out and found some good vinyl (including original pressings of Dylan), and the amount of people who absolutely enjoy looking through the albums picking one out is amazing. Vinyl hits different.
