Post by: B_Buster on November 29, 2009, 11:36:44 AM: It's not that bad. And the video for Must Be Santa is one of his best goofs ever.

This is basically how I feel. And I agree with Mike, "Must Be Santa" is tremendous.

I wonder if he is wearing one of the aforementioned wigs. He's wearing different hats, though.

I feel like I injected charity guilt into this thread way too soon, I apologize.

Really? You think this is what's happening to Dylan? I think he's doing pretty well - he's turned into what he was always pretending to be.

Post by: Tedstud on January 28, 2010, 10:55:50 AM: I played this album on Christmas Eve with my family this year. Bob's creepy singing kept everyone on edge a little. Everyone was a little more aware then usual. Plus, I got crap from them every 5 minutes for playing the album. Needless to say it will be spinning again next year.
