UBL Buzz Zone I'm Not Dylan   Dylanesque   Sounds Like Dylan   Distaff Dylans   21st Century Dylans   Dear UBL Member    "I'm Not There" - a film about some of the "faces" & phases of Bob Dylan's mythic career has just been released. In one way or another, almost every artist on UBL has been influenced by Dylan - whether they know it or not, or acknowledge it or not. Our November issue features about 60 artists & their songs from a cross-section of almost every genre of music on UBL. Each have something to say through their music & have the talent & courage to put it out there in their own unique styles. Some of the artists below might be making some kind of political or cultural statements, or they might just be crafting personal pleas or observations from their heads or their hearts or their souls. So, please, "gather 'round, people," & give a listen (or a look) to some really fine singers & their very well-crafted songs.   Steve - UBL Editor   ...How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind...   from Blowin' In The Wind by Bob Dylan
