Happy 80th Birthday Bob!
Graeme Byrd
May 24th. Bob Dylan’s Birthday. And this year he is celebrating 80 years (almost 60 years since his first album).
Every year on this day it is a moment of celebration and reflection for me. This year is especially emotional as it is my first Bob Day (as I call it) without texts, emails and calls with my father.
The concerts. The hours of listening to albums (official and bootlegs). Dicussing the lyrics (and their importance in history) with my dad. I miss those moments.
Happy Birthday Bob! Thank you for bringing so much to my life. Who would have thought 30 years after my first concert my son and I would be listening to your music.
I raise a glass of Heaven’s Door Whiskey in your honour.
