You are not the man you are going to be either. Sadly you will never be a fraction of the man dylan is. Your myopic view of aging will eventually catch up with you and true humility will knock you back a peg. And when you are terrified of your own impending death and all that you will never accomplish, put modern times on what ever devise the future will present us with and this album will be a balm. It will help heal your arrogant heart.Hamlet

The key to really appreciating the great work that Modern Times is- is to listen to the album repeatedly.With each listen (and I recommend headphones if possible) you will hear the reason Bob made the statement in his Rolling Stone interview- "this is the best band I have been in, man for man". Intricate musical riffs and subtle notes by not only Denny Freeman and Donny Herron but also by his drummer George Recile and bass player Tony Garnier. There is not one song on Modern Times that is a "throwaway". Every track builds to the inspiring conclusion with "Ain't Talkin".Album of the Year. Period. My review will be confirmed at Grammy time. You watch, you'll see.
