Article by Richard Williams at the bluemoment
‘Last night I was on my way to see Bob Dylan in concert in my home town for the first time, at a venue a few hundred yards from where, almost 60 years earlier, my girlfriend and I had listened to Freewheelin’ all the way through, squeezed together in a record-shop listening booth, before buying it, taking it to her parents’ house, and listening to it all the way through again.

Just like the woman with her kid on a motorcycle. You have to make ends meet. She has to work, and he has to go to school.‘ (Watch video podcast here)
