Like a Rolling Stone

When I was 10 years old, my dad made us all watch The David Letterman's 10th anniversary special. I had never heard of the guy before. I remember thinking it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen in my life. It was on prime time that night, and I remember my dad saying, "See what you guys miss everynight cause you are asleep?" we were only asleep cause he made us go to bed.

The reason we were watching it though, was because the big musical number would be Bob Dylan. He had a VHS cassette ready and everything to record this momentous occasion. Finally, the moment arrived and Bob sang "Like a Rolling Stone" with the CBS orchestra.

I remember thinking to myself, "Why do people like this guy?" Well, apparently this was not one of Bob's greatest performances ever. The next day at work a lady told my dad she was sorry for the dispapointment. But my dad kept that VHS tape, and about a year back, my friend converted it to disc.

Today my dad came over and we put the video on youtube, because we hadnt ever seen it before. So now the whole world can remember, and share in this nostalgic moment.

I must have not been home that night because I don't remember having to watch it. I still don't get why anybody likes that guy though...he sings so bad. He does write good songs though. Other people should just sing them though.
