Dylanists discussion

I was interested in this list of songs chosen by famous people as their one and only "desert island disc" when interviewed on BBC Radio.

My choice would be Mr. Tambourine Man.

I forgot I was on this list! Nice to see some activity. When I was in 7th grade, my friend's mother said if you like a song you shouldn't get the record because then you'll get tired of it, and I think there's some truth to that. But if I have to pick one that I think would last the longest before I got sick of it, I'd pick Hurricane.

Like a Rolling Stone.

Although it would be pretty spooky on my desert island, I don't think I'd tire of 'Visions of Johanna'

I see that Zadie Smith's Dylan choice was To Ramona

which apparently is based on The Last Letter by Rex Griffin

judge for yourselves...

Philip Rebecca, David, Roger, Paul or anyone want to do a podcast with me interviewing some of our contemporaries and ask them what kind of songs they would select Desert Island?

Nice to see this group exists. Though it could be difficult to choose just one, my choice for a one and only desert island disc would have to be Highway 61 Revisited. Dylan deserves to win the Nobel Prize in Lit.!

When the Ship Comes In - of course!

Good suggestions, Dylan and Jeff!
