Anyone remember Donovan

[Pervert]

But don't you think Dylan sounds like Kermit the Frog on Lay Lady Lay?

[Sam Slater]

All Americans from Boston sound like Kermit to me.

[Pervert]

Someone should record an album, Kermit Sings Dylan.

It makes sense. I recall Who Dares Wins . . . . once did Bernard Manning sings The Smiths.

[Deuce Bigolo]

Never heard of either of those which isn't saying much

[dean1234]

Yeah remember him

There's back story between them, I think. They might have been friends, or something....I'm not sure. I saw a documentary from the '60's called "Don't Look Back." It's about Dylan, but Donovan makes an appearance in the movie (he was also at the screening. Sweet!). So, one may have influenced the other. (In singing styles). Anyway, they do sound similar, but, they have differences in their voices, and it really becomes apparent later in their careers.


Is this what you mean? Bob in his Cate Blanchett period!

I remember his son setting up with that sexy chick from The Bangles, Sussanah Hoffs, and remembered thinking, 'You lucky cunt'

Just come back from seeing it. It's ok, Cate of course was fantastic. Can't believe its the same person who played Elizabeth 1.
