Bobness
Yep, I can understand what he's saying also. I thought Tom Petty had died. Just goes to show what i know. Hey Pat! I too followed the Eagles. A classic band.

All through my 30-year marriage, I had to get through the Bobness of my husband in order to collaborate on anything at all, so I definitely understand what he was talking about.   Every Bob I've ever known is like that.

I didn't know the The Traveling Wilbury's either...Nor did I know that one could legitimately distil Bob Dylan down to his 'Bobness', though not knowing much about him, I wouldn't know what that consists of...

Well I'm a narrow minded country and Willie Nelson fan, and know very little about much else

Yes you sent me down memory lane as well. I think though some of that time
I was busy in the bush with babies and may have missed some stuff.

Travelling Willbury's
I'd never heard of them before I read your post Pat. Now I've watched this video and really liked their music. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcgn3_traveling-wilburys-handle-with-care_music

I had their tape (where music used to be recorded), Pat-B, and listened to it over and over again. If you get a chance to hear it, I'm sure you'll enjoy it too. I love Tom Petty. Most Dylan fans are aware of Bob's total self-absorption, so that comment about the 'Bobness' doesn't surprise me at all! Thanks for the memory!
