Annoyingly, only one of these will be played at V (if I'm lucky!)

[jesseenf]

that is truly an amzing song. festival organisers need to get bob dylan to healdine a big festie.

[thetime]

Good lord that would be amazing. I think that might even reinstate my faith in V if they ever booked him, though he's more likely for Glastonbury I guess. Has he ever played glasto before? Cos I jsut thought, if they're getting artists from the last 40 years that have appeared there before for next year, surely he could be a headliner?

Slightly off-subject, I heard a Specials cover of 'Maggies Farm' last night...now, I love Dylan and The Specials...but somethings just aren't supposed to mix...Gary Glitter & Girl Guide packs, Lily Allen and recording studios, George Bush and any job that doesn't involve cleaning windows with a tongue...and to that list I can now safely add Bob Dylan and The Specials...
