 times infinity, to the power of infinity. Most house cats have a greater chance of singing like an opera star than Dylan does. |

According to the (unsigned) post, Dylan can actually sing like an opera star, but has decided instead to sound "like a harpooned pigeon in the last throes of death" intentionally, in an attempt to appeal to a specific audience. Exactly whom, I can't imagine.

Genre-breaking at the time.... hard to separate the rating for 'musical history' from that for 'musicality'

I am not a fan of Bob Dylan.
He only plays like one basic song, and he's spent 30 years filling numerous albums with variations of that same half-chant melody.
When A Bob Dylan some comes on, I hit 'stop' on my player, and come back after a few minutes.
I really do think his music is that terrible.

I suspect that what once was old will become new again, music-wise, as things come unwrapped around us. Perhaps the true visionaries have already provided their wisdom, and it's up to us to sift through the crap of "modernism" and find the gems of truth in the music of the past.
Well said... miss you... |

Rat-nasty noises
Like knitting needles
Dipped in drain cleaner
Thrust deeply into
My ear drums.
Why must you
Torment me so
The original vagabond
The impacted sinus
The lyrical asininity
Perhaps once
You spoke for some
Who couldn't find the words
Why they thought you could
I don't know.
I am leaving you now
To be enjoyed by
Those who can
I cannot and shall not
Suffer you any longer.
Hmmm, maybe not... certainly not! |

I watched this on Youtube one night. Nothing interesting about that except...I read the comments. Some young person was absolutely Gobsmacked that this was a video...they were certain, dead certain, that the first video was "video killed the radio star"...many folks tried to counsel them that there was a difference between the first video aired on MTV and the first video ever....pointing to some lovely film from a lot of amazing artists much older than Dylan.

From the album right before Highway 61 Revisited. Great stuff. His most creative period was up until John Wesley Harding. He then lost it until Blood on the Tracks and Desire. I don't have any of his albums after Desire. But the ones I do have are just terrific.
