appreciate his craft, but can't fucking stand his voice. he
sounds like a drunk hobo child rapist with down syndrome.
tho i do listen to a song or two... 'i want you' off blonde
on blonde is kinda cute.

there's a difference between brilliantly affecting the
lowlife drawl by a genius with a profound sensitivity to
cheap melancholia (waits, and a brilliant musician to boot)
and yipping like a hoarse hyena to piss-poor lyrics (there,
i said it) about teenage sentimentality towards women you
recently slept with (dylan)

I could never vocalise the resentment i feel towards Dylan
and anyone who likes his music quite the way happy cycling
has just done. Thanks, I have memorised your post to
spitefully recite in the whey face of any unwashed hippy
shitbag that has the misfortune to mention that Judas' name
in my presence.

Tom Waits, I love, Nighthawks at the diner, The heart of
Saturday night, these things I can appreciate, I can love
and listen to often. I hear the bits that anchor the work to
its time but I also hear the timeless qualities. Fucking
Dylan sounds like an incoherent, perma-student that wants a
thorough beating. Being gnomic isn't being clever, you sour
faced cunt.

i love him, and i love his "drunk hobo child rapist with
down syndrome-like" voice.
i have his greatest hits on vinyl.

The older he gets the creepier he gets. I hate the plastic
surgery to widen his nose and the melanin injections to
darken his skin and the hormone pills to enlarge his
breasts. It's like he's trying to turn himself into Donna
Summer. And the way he always has parties for octogenarians
with senile dementia at his mansion - it's not right. I've
heard rumors.

no sorry you're all wrong and i'm right. donovan had a
better voice, a better songrighting capability, a better
guitar, a better haircut, and a better nationality.

i agree tombstone blues is a classic, i cant believe so many
people hate dylan! bringing it all back home, highway 61,
blonde on blonde are all amazing! the guy is the most bitter
man of all time, which make his lyrics hilarious.

Yes, Bringing it All Back Home is irresponsibly awesome. So
is Bob, in general. I don't trust anyone that doesn't own
two copies of Blonde on Blonde. But he looks pretty rough
now...

That Dylan documentary kind of paints him as a grumpy
dickhead, but I guess it would be pretty boring if he was a
nice guy... and less genuine.

bunch of JUDAS!

someday you'll understand the brillance of "the poet
laureate of rock and roll, the man who transformed music in
the sixties, spent the seventies in a drug haze, disappeared
as a born again Christian in the eighties and reemerged in
the nineties as the best songwriter of his generation,
please welcome Columbia Recording Artist Bob Dylan!"

i am not a fan but many of the artists i listen to now were
strongly influenced by him.

Dylan is God to me. There isn't a day where I don't listen
to him. I have all his releases (even rare official ones)
and about a hundred bootlegs of his. Been to the most shows
I could of him.

Funny thing is, I didn't know anything about Dylan until 2
years ago. Then after that, it was a revelation, of thou
great Bobness.

Who can match him in the 20th century in the USofA for
artistical music importance? Perhaps only Duke Ellington,
or Miles Davis.

True, they're right up there. I think Bob and the Velvet
Underground are the cream of the American crop.

I also think very few images in the world are as cool as
young Robert Zimmerman up on stage, unkempt hair, shades,
acoustic guitar, tight jeans, and that bizarre harmonica
contraption.

Well for me there are very few images in the world that are
as cool as a mid-20's Robert Zimmy on stage, scruffy hair,
shades, electric guitar, cool polka dotted suit, with The
Hawks playing in 1966 the most amazing music ever heard, at
that moment the hardest rock&roll ever, the loudest music
you could imagine at that time.

Different bobness era ;-D
