Things are better now but I’m still struggling. This music helped prolong my life. Not to mention the love & support of family & friends.
This album & the follow-up, Turn Out the Lights helped me survive the deep emotional trauma I experienced in 2023. Car wreck, loss of job, bankruptcy, & the very real possibility of homelessness.
Please help out if you are at all able to. If you are unable to please share Michele’s post far & wide. Below is the original article that led me to her work. It struck a chord with me because it’s pretty much exactly how I feel about vinyl. A few years ago, she updated it. I’ve also linked to that.
hi, an important IHTOV update. thank you for reading it.

Up until the release of this boxset & Time Out of Mind a few years later I’d been more of a casual Dylan fan. I remember his TV special in the 70s didn’t do much for me & I gave my copy of Street Legal to one of my older brothers who I figured would enjoy it way more.
I’m guessing my fall connection comes from an R.E.M. cassette comp I made that year that received a massive amount of airplay in my car that fall. That, & perhaps the autumnal color scheme of the album artwork.

My favorite album to listen to during fall. So crisp, clear & fitting for this time of year, especially when listening full blast in the car with all the windows down. Recorded during winter/spring in London under less than ideal conditions & released in summer.
Earlier today I saw someone on Tik Tok say when they can’t find “official” lyrics to early R.E.M. songs on a website they’ll ask ChatGPT what they are.

@paranoiacs.bsky.social is one of my all time favorite music writers. A pretty swell human being as well.
