You know, don't you, that looking for pictures on the internet with the keywords dylan and tiger will not only uncover pictures of Bob Dylan on his fabled Triumph Tiger, but pictures of some guy named Dylan, er, dressed up as a tiger.

I just received my copy of the new Dylan Bootleg Series #7 - the soundtrack to the forthcoming Martin Scorsese documentary. Rather boringly, the documentary only takes us up to 1966 and the fabled motorcycle accident. This image is by way of an homage to the cartoon by Ray Lowry, which properly showed Dylan in mid-flight, having been jettisoned over the handlebars of his Triumph Tiger; and the lightbulb over his head with the words Country Rock! popping into his head.

Anyway, all I wanted to say is that you get a lovely booklet with the album, with loads of excellent photos of the young Mr Dylan. He looks impossibly cool in every single one. What a beautiful young man he was.
