Bombs rock North-East India ! Hardly few would be surprised. But it did surprise me to learn about Shillong where people have been rocking for past 35 years on Bob Dylan’s birthday ! Hmm that’s intresting. This article from NYTimes did catch my attention :

One of them remarks “So relevant to our area,” he remembered thinking. “No drum, nothing, just guitar. Paddy field. Cows. Looking at the buffalo. So matching our area.”
A rocker, even says ” We will bring Bob Dylan one day to these woods !” That would be some day ! Until them let’s leave them to rock !!
