i kinda felt this way for a while and when I saw one of those docs on bob dylan, the one where joan baez basically says he was a stoned retard who pulled a fast one on everyone, it really confirmed my feelings on the man.

I REALLY wanted to like him for years cause my dad always said "he wrote pretty good songs but he's a terrible musician." plus, my grandparents live two blocks from where he grew up. so.....
pm
12/29/10 10:10 PM
and then Joan Baez proceeded on basing her entire career supporting him, covering his songs and recording complete albums of his material. Seriously, I can't think of another artist that has devoted as much of their own career performing another artist's songs.

Yeah, Weird Al would be a good comparison because Joan Baez is essentially a Bob Dylan cover band, but it's not like Weird Al played the same shows, clubs and existed in the same scene as the artists he covered. It's like if 80% of Daughters of the Sun's songs and albums were just Vampire Hands songs.

i honestly do not think that there is a scrap of honest meaning in any of his work EVER of all time, i believe he thinks he has pulled the wool over the eyes of all the shitheads...

Compared to the people he shared "scenes" with in the early days, earnest folksingers and such, obfuscating "honest meaning" in his work and not being direct was maybe the point.

sseth, for my own morbid curiosity...is there any musician/band dead or alive that you actually like? I mean...ALL the way like...not scrutinizing every little hook/note/lyric/loop/whatever the fuck you are listening to..

Is there something you put on the record player/CD player/tape player/iPod that you can just sit down and listen to, happily? Makes you smile? Can do chores to? Brings a sense of wonder to your life? Would bring to a deserted island with you? Yeah, I know I'm cheesing out a little, but man, you are so serious about what sucks...granted, I haven't caught up on all the sseth reviews yet...and you make me laugh for sure...

And please know, this is not an attack...I really want to know.

funny thing is, I used to HATE Bob Dylan. I probably would have started this thread in 1990. Funnier thing, I used to like noise. I didn't perform it or love it, but I bought "noise" albums.
Now, I stopped listening to noise a few years ago, I stopped hating Dylan. Coincedence? Probly not.
Then, I had satellite radio and listened to "The Bob Dylan Themetime Radio Show". It was awesome. Here's a link to the poor html thread I posted about it. So now, I really do like Bob Dylan the guy over Bob Dylan the singer/songwriter. On the radio show you realize his love of music and deep knowledge of all kinds of pre-1980's music, all the way back to pre-recorded music.
His albums? I can take them or leave them. But I'll defend Bob. He definitely does not suck.
tom
12/30/10 2:06 PM
ruxpin, he's not under my skin at all. If he was, I'd throw him off the board. He's just boring and starts dumb threads and really doesn't contribute anything worth while. He's one of those people that just wants attention but doesn't really have anything worthwhile to contribute. At least some of the other attention starved folks have something worthwhile to contribute.

I dunno. Sseth's a fucking prick who hates Dylan, hates Chooglin' and thinks we're a ska band who's never heard of the Rolling Stones, likes noise, and never has a nice thing to say about anyone.

That said, I like having him around. I think he's entertaining and sometimes even perceptive despite his prickishness. He's got virtual balls, anyway.

Dylan WAS a dick to Donovan, by the way. He comes off as a total prick throughout that documentary, in fact.

Bob Dylan has murdered at least 8 people since 1965. Don't you think some other talentless hack would have cornered some of his money pile if he hadn't ruthlessly butchered them? I can't name names here, but go look up the life expectancy sometime of people who get their face on the cover of Rolling Stone with the subtext "The next Bob Dylan?" cuz there's only one answer to that question: nope, followed by brutal throat slashing and poor guitarmanship.

A stoned retard who put one over on us? If only it were that simple.
