Bob Dylan at Trädgårdsföreningen....

Trädgårdsföreningen, August, 15

Bob Dylan 2014 is a "slow train coming" behind the piano. Many of the songs are recognizable by the lyrics....and the music is a tool for a changed voice, with a lack of energy. Dylan shines through the closer he gets to the blues....here he knows his lesson, and the band does an excellent job. Best in show: "Blowin` in the wind"

A little note about the five kids sitting in front of me with Dylan T-shirts and continually with concentration on their smartphones..

..what are they going to tell their grandchildren....we were "not really" there !?

"Looking for Johnny, the legend of Johnny Thunders"....

Göteborg, Bio Roy, June 11

I saw this rockumentary by Danny Garcia yesterday. Thunder`s talent is there all the way....not to mention the drug downward spiral. Sad....that the music is cut into small pieces and portions (for sure economic reasons) because his music deserves so much more. It is not easy to produce a good piece of work on such a small budget (credit to the director !). Anyway....Johnnys guitar is his own, fast and furious, just like his short life.

Here is Johnny`s great song "you can't put your arms around a memory"

And here you can read more about the film
