I just discovered that she has a second song about Bob on this album and it’s, uh, not as good

Syd Barrett - Bob Dylan’s Blues

Who could forget Barry McGuire's immortal "Eve of Destruction"?

Will Rigby’s Leanin’ on Bob

Obviously Diamonds and Rust. Ralph McTell’s Zimmerman Blues, sure. Not sure if Belle & Sebastian’s Like Dylan in the Movies meets my “about” criteria

Amy Rigby's "Dylan in Dubuque" is a keeper!

Ooh, I like Amy Rigby but I don't know this one

Bowie’s Song for Bob Dylan.

radosh.bsky.social•80 days ago

Just remembered this great one

chuckedahl.bsky.social•80 days ago

Mr. Jones by Counting Crows also references, but also does not meet your criteria.

radosh.bsky.social•80 days ago

That's one I was thinking of when I said that

Loudon's uneven. But sometimes wonderful.

radosh.bsky.social•80 days ago

Yeah, I mean, this isn't one of his best songs or anything but it's fun for the purposes of this playlist

David Bowie’s Song For Bob Dylan.

radosh.bsky.social•80 days ago

Of course!

Beat me by a couple of minutes! But I just also want to say how much I love the McTell album Not Till Tomorrow, from which Zimmermann Blues comes.

Not really 'about' Dylan, but lots of funny Dylan references and a great video.

Bowie, Song for Bob Dylan 😸

fastercamels.bsky.social•80 days ago

Dan Bern - Talkin Woody BobBruce and Dan Blues (think that’s what it’s called)

fastercamels.bsky.social•80 days ago

John Lennon - Serve Yourself

radosh.bsky.social•80 days ago

I’ll have to think about this one! It’s a response to a Dylan song but is it about Dylan the way, say, How Do You Sleep is about Paul?
