Did Bob Dylan like Can?

I mean "Turtles Have Short Legs" vs. "You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure"

hmm, now someone could make bob dylan *sound* like can

The only authorized re-mixes I'd prev heard were Funkstar Deluxe's "All Along The Watchtower" and whoever did that version of "Series of Dreams" on the eponymous box set--but there are unauthorized mixes floating around. His live music, that "thin wild mercury sound" he upset some with in the mid-60s, and the anti-nostalgia basis of his Endless Tour (see above post about the triplets business, as "explained" by Dylan in Chronicles) is "the opposite of jazz", D also claims (while effusing about jazz and much else he digs, elsewhere in the same book). He doesn't mention rock groups known to improvise much, *except* he does talk about playing with the Dead--in fact, come to think of it, the pressure of rehearsing with them is what gets him to remembering the use of triplets (vs usual folkie two-beat trot), as once demonstrated to him by bluesman Lonnie Johnson (who also played some with Charlie Parker, I think). That's in Chronicles too--he may actually mention somebody like Can, it's hard to remember (Amazon based this whole monster section on his references in that damned tome)

Ken L's response to the OP is delightful.

dylan played some offbeat stuff on his radio show (along with more predictable selections) but I don't think he ever played Can.

he liked going to the can
