Album of the weekend

Bob Dylan-Blonde on Blonde

Bob Dylan is a poet. An outstanding and beautiful poet. He has been awarded the Nobel Prize in poetry and he absolutely, one hundred percent deserves it. He still hasn't accepted it-which is classic Bob Dylan. Rebellious and punk like he always has been. 

It's hard to say how important this album is. Musically it's outstanding. Lyrically it outstanding. Socially it's outstanding. It's placed on virtually every "Greatest records of all time"  list out there. Critical acclaim is overrated in some ways-you should like whatever you want too-but when a large group of critics (and in this case, virtually one hundred precent) agree that this is a great album-it's a great album. Criticism is about the critic, that's one of the many reasons Roger Ebert was the greatest critic of anything of all time. Personally he was so fascinating and intelligent that he could have been analyzing anything and made it good. 

Bob Dylan is also part social critic along with musician. He is correctly viewed as a near God in the music industry. This is one of his many masterpieces.
