The Never Ending Pool

How many Dylan concert/other t-shirts do you own? Which one is your favorite?

About ten of them maybe. I next to never wear them. I like the one that has the Rolling Stone cover photo from 2004 - he's holding a harmonica in that pic. I bought the shirt in Benidorm, Spain, in 2004. Bob was just arriving at the venue and people were running like sheep to see the only part of him the could catch a glimpse of, his boots below the bus. It made me sick - there was nothing to run after. So I turned around and bought a T-shirt.

10, plus one hoodie.

that Rolling Stone '04 shirt was on sale officially?

i've only got two, one of which is stained and i only wear around the house. the official t-shirts are mostly shit now, huh? they aren't nearly as hip as they could be.

17 tour shirts...most of them "East West Touring Company" , and 1 "Eye" Blue cut-off. My favorite...Probably the black Hobo "Real Long Player" shirt from Dylan Winter/Spring 98.

I just have 3. I've got the one from here, a bootleg shirt I got outside the venue last year in Sheffield, and (my absolute favorite) a local crew shirt from the Fall '05 Europe Tour. It's funny because whenever I wear the crew shirt at a show, people tend to come up to me and ask questions about the venue and what Bob's going to play. Apparently they see "The Bob Dylan Show" written in big yellow letters on my back and figure I work for Bob.

i've got quite a few, usually i buy them outside the venue for a fiver.i did buy a good one from ebay.Its black and has written on the front "LISTEN TO DYLAN" it's my favourite.

I probably own as many Bob Dylan T-shirts as Bob owns Jane DiNunzio T-shirts. And maybe fewer.

I own around 10 or so. My favorite is definitely a special edition one, but very un-special looking. I think I got it at the Dylan/Paul Simon show. It's tobacco color. Nothing on the front and just a small logo on the back. But it's a good heavy quality and so comfortable. Maybe $30 then. I think I was wearing the day of the NY blackout in '03. You won't find anything of that quality now.

I like the brown one they started selling in '03 and I've bought some old ones on ebay that I just had to have.

I got a green one they made for the Hammerstein shows. It was so darn hot and I was carrying it around the day of the blackout, the letters and stars kind of smooshed in places.

Nothing with that new a picture ever goes on sale officially anymore. No, it's a bootleg shirt, bought from a rucksack in front of the venue. Spain is big in bootleg shirts, as is Italy. They had the same RS cover shirt in Spain again this year, only with different dates.
The official merchandise is going from bad to worse.... I've been forever asking them why they don't make shirts with newer pictures, or anything that is like Bob is today. He just doesn't look like he did in 1965 anymore. There were some wonderful promo pics for Modern Times, so why not use them? And don't even start me on that ugly picture they've been using for posters ever since 2000. There are lovely photos of the man, but that one makes him look like a ghost. I don't understand....
