On the Beat

On the Beat: David Menconi on music

News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.

Season's greetings from...Bob Dylan?!

Bookmark and Share

Here's one I'm late on, thanks to post-vacation catch-up, but I find this so jaw-dropping that I simply must share just in case you've missed it. In the universe of bad ideas, there are lots of whoppers. But few rise to the level of truly catastrophic, with as much epic-trainwreck potential, as the thought of Bob Dylan singing Christmas carols -- in just the crisp diction you'd expect, no doubt.

Then again, this is the man who gave us "Self Portrait."

ADDENDUM (8/27/09): If it's for real, the Bob Dylan GPS?!
