Bob IS music, it's evident in his complex lyrics- he doesn't care about how his voice sounds, to him the music is what it's all about. And unfortunately, we've lost it in this age...

It's hard to imagine another Golden Age of music coming up... There aren't any guitar solos to speak of.

That train sequence at the end of "Caroline, No" still gives me the chills (he used to turn the stereo up FULL BLAST at that part)...
