In October of 1990, a very casual friend dubbed me a cassette tape of Bob Dylan’s newest record, Oh Mercy. I enjoyed it, and after a few trips to the public library to dub more of his work, during that fall, I became a new fan.
Although many of my life events have transpired with him, and it seems like he's always touring, I never had a chance to see him in person. That was going to change early this year at the Civic Center, where I was to see him live (alive?) and in person…until I had a massive stroke.
