getting the memo

So the other night Z and I bought all this music. Among it was the double live CD of the famous bootleg of Dylan's 1966 "Royal Albert Hall" concert-- but it's not really a bootleg, it was recorded by CBS, and also it was in Manchester not the RHA-- but, all that aside, it's a good album and suddenly I can cross "becoming a fan of Dylan" off my to-do list, where it's been for like, ten years or more. So good for me, not that I've actually so much as, say, listened to "Blonde on Blonde" or anything.
Whatever.

Anyhow, I was listening to it on my new iPod yesterday (did I mention? The thing is cool, but is growing cooler the more I use it. OK, it's nifty. I still mourn my 30Gb 3rd generation. Waah!)

Today Z brought the CDs to work and is listening to them. He just IMd me this, saying he was the last to get the memo that Dylan could actually rock. I asked what memo, and he replied:

From: Columbia Records
Re: Bob Dylan
Dear sirs:
It has come to our attention that Bob Dylan can rock. Please update your music tastes accordingly. Thank you.
