I am still reeling from the horrific news that Bryan Ferry has released an album of Bob Dylan covers - entitled (originally) Dylanesque.
My blood runs cold. I shudder. How can such a fey and lightweight performer do this? Some reviews of a recent concert, where Ferry performed several of the songs, reported that he seemed to have removed the fire and power from Dylan's words. He must surely be far too 'smooth' and impassionate to even attempt this. Were I Bob Dylan, I might be tempted to sue... were it not for the fact that I might also be taking legal action against the makers of the terrible film Factory Girl for gross misrepresentation in the Edie Sedgwick biopic. The lawyers will be rubbing their hands.
Poor Bob. It has been a bad month. I can feel a song coming on...
