As some of us start to wonder quite what’s going on with all this Bestmania, RWB points – without comment – to this review of Dylan’s recent concert in Dublin:
I’m pretty sure that the performance of “Forever young” at this show was Dylan’s personal tribute to Belfast-born football star George Best, who died the day before aged 59.
Having spent the last few days in London and in Ireland where this story has received blanket coverage, Dylan cant have failed to notice what a huge impact it’s had.
The inclusion at an Irish show of this song, of all choices, plus the fact that it was (to my knowledge) the only time this year where he has returned to play a second encore, seems more than a coincidence, even
though Dylan himself didnt mention anything about it.One ’60’s icon paying tribute to another. An unforgettable moment
.
Well, there is the line, “May your feet always be swift.” And “May your hands always be busy” is quite appropriate too, come to think of it.
