I am a Dylan fan and I will check out the website about your book.Derek Vreelandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06278564226756132082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23758043.post-50507909113731812792008-04-16T14:14:00.000-05:002008-04-16T14:14:00.000-05:00I was totally taken aback by this announcement regarding Dylan and Pulitzer. But certainly well deserved.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if you were reporting on the news (and good news it is) or are actually a fan, but if you are then I thought I'd introduce you to my new novel, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, which I think you'd enjoy.<BR/><BR/>It's a murder-mystery. But not just any rock superstar is knocking on heaven's door. The murdered rock legend is none other than Bob Dorian, an enigmatic, obtuse, inscrutable, well, you get the picture...<BR/><BR/>Suspects? Tons of them. The only problem is they're all characters in Bob's songs. <BR/><BR/>You can get a copy on Amazon.com or go "behind the tracks" at www.bloodonthetracksnovel.com to learn more about the book.THOMAS GRASTYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04436787409030343216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23758043.post-2167685368858653342008-04-10T08:27:00.000-05:002008-04-10T08:27:00.000-05:00Dylan is an acquired taste and then there are the many sides of Dylan to acquire. <BR/><BR/>You have the acoustic Dylan of the early 60s, the electric Dylan of the mid 60s, the area rock Dylan of the 70s, the gospel Dylan of the 80s and the nostalgic Dylan of the 90s and today.<BR/><BR/>For you I would recommend Dylan's gospel albums like Slow Train Coming and Saved. These were the albums I first listened to.<BR/><BR/>DerekDerek Vreelandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06278564226756132082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23758043.post-11317746547922100342008-04-09T22:56:00.000-05:002008-04-09T22:56:00.000-05:00Derek,<BR/><BR/>I've tried to get into Dylan's music -- it's just hard for me to listen to.<BR/><BR/>His lyrics/poetry (with a prophetic edge) -- I'll give you that. Good stuff.<BR/><BR/>ShaneShane Oglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16892682137266936445noreply@blogger.com
