Thread: Bob Dylan. Fat Yank or simply a simpleton?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn...

Next stop is...

Vietnam

Whoopee we're all gonna die.

Memories of Woodstock
''We are stardust, we are golden''

He does some very nice gates for sale if you care to look it up

two of my favorite dylan albums:

time out of mind (1997)

Have not heard anything good from Dylan since circa 1970 - in fact all he has recorded since then is crap - just not as crap as seeing him live - now there is a good waste of time an money.

have you ever listened to blood on the tracks?

it's widely regarded as not only one of the best dylan albums, but one of the best albums of all time.

Yes, nowhere near as good as blonde on blonde circa 1966, I was an early Dylan fan however he should have packed it in decades ago.

I was given a burnt copy of tempest a few weeks ago - surely you agree this is utter shite. The cd is now my favorite coaster.

All of the above.

1. whether or not 'blonde on blonde' is a better album than 'blood on the tracks is another discussion altogether. my response was to your earlier post in which you stated that everything he's released since 1970 was 'crap'.

2. haven't listened to 'tempest', so i can't give an opinion. probably the most current release i've listened to is 1997's 'time out of mind', and as i posted earlier, i think it's excellent. btw, i didn't know people still listened to music on CDs.....can't remember the last time i did. even the car has an mp3 player.

3. and i don't see why dylan should pack it in. he enjoys writing, recording and performing music....and there are many people who enjoy listening to it.

count me amongst them .

That makes two then.



Interesting that professed Dylan fans do not listen or have not heard his current offerings. The CD btw was given to me by a 70 yo a real Dylan fan - who admitted it was all crap

Dylan should have stuck to his Big Brass Bed when he had the chance.

He was mostly terrible from the beginning, and thought he was hot shit, which he was, and still is.

Just a hot turd, and no more.
I never listen to anything he sings, but his bed song.

Could barely play the guitar, terrible voice, but wrote some great lyrics

Yep you have summed him up perfectly.

So, you agree with me then?

Yes we onside on this one

The movie I'm Not There is worth a look based on Bob Dylan
