Dylan's songs were always better performed by other people

... and I voted for him anyway. That said, Neil's versions of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" and All Along the Watchtower" are pretty great.

Oh, and harry wins again.

I heard about this when I was back home.

[quote]Bob Dylan turns up at Neil Young's childhood home for a tour

When you live in the house where a world-famous musician grew up, it's expected to be a bit of a draw.

But John Kiernan, who occupies Neil Young’s former Winnipeg home on Grosvenor Avenue, never imagined another famous musician would show up at his door.

Kiernan told CBC News on Monday that he was looking out the window a week ago Sunday and saw his wife talking with two strangers on the front lawn.

“And I'm looking around, and I realize, this guy having a tuque on has really great boots on, these sort of cowboy, motorcycle boots. And he was wearing really nice leather pants. And I realize I'm staring face-to-face with Bob Dylan.â€

I don't know, I'm happy that it nudged some music talk, but at the same time, to say that one is a heavy favorite means that one is ignoring many of the qualities of the other.

I would vote Dylan, solely for the cultural implications, but on a personal level, these are apples and oranges.

"The big song at the time was 'Heart of Gold,'" Dylan said in 1985. "[I'd] turn on the radio, and there I am, but it's not me."

Dylan talking @ Forever Young.


So we know where Bob stands
