    What a brilliant writer/composer. A truly unique talent.

    Interesting that "ass" and "cocaine" were censored. The opening scene from Wolf of Wall Street would be deeply frowned upon by 1983 NBC.

      And yet "give her a poke or two" was just fine for broadcast!

    If he got a shoe deal for Nike they would be called “Air Newmans”. Instead of “Just Do It” it would be called “Get it over with” and they would be marketed to short people.

      I just seen your comment and was going to comment about the shoes too he's wearing the first generation Nike Pegasus in fact I don't think they were even Air Pegasus just the regular first generation pair of Nike Pegasus

    Best songwriter without Dylan's imaginary substitutes. They are brilliant composers.

    LOL .. Randy looks like he's wearing the exact same clothes he was on his prior visit to the show. And, again, he's not letting the band play with him on his tunes. Does he not play well with others? &:-D)

    • @meeeka
      @meeeka 4 года назад +2

      atty garland of course he plays well with others. but THIS was the way he performed at the time.
      when he DOES perform with "backup" it's the London Phil, as per his Live in London album.
