   I thought I was a Dylan fan when I was a young kid.  I liked the Desire album   
   (other than the dreary and interminable "Joey").  Of course, he recruited   
   Emmylou Harris for that project, and she -- with her knack for creating   
   beautiful harmony -- can make    
   anyone sound like a million bucks.     
      
   Then a live performance by Dylan was broadcast on television.  His performance   
   was so sloppy that the songs were unrecognizable.  He didn't sing so much as   
   he grunted, mumbled and moaned.     
      
   Same with his Grammys performance in the early 90s.  It was cringeworthy.     
      
   Unless I just happened upon two bad samples, Dylan can't perform live.
