Who is a poet? The songwriters Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie and Robert Johnson have had a big influence. I hear T.S Elliot, Yeats, Ovid and Shakespeare in Dylan.

Gary

He loved being a Wilbury. Or at least the first time round. He's not the type to let on though, and I think in more recent years he has replaced some of his irreverence with an earnest form of respect for the greats, like Roy Orbison.

Constantine

Probably the one where he visits the house of a plumber called Dave, thinking he's at Dave Stewart's house. And the plumber is out but his wife offers him a cup of tea.

No idea. I gather that Dylan's manager has said that he likes the show. Strange but Dylan tends to be quirky and relish being so.

Gary

Gary and I saw him at his latest Hyde Park gig. He sang 'Like a Rolling Stone' in such a way that nobody could sing along. I don't know how intentional it was, but I kind of preferred it to the rock cliche of the whole crowd singing along. If you want that you can go to a Bruce Springsteen show (I love Bruce, but Bob is different).
