I Know Many Here Listen To Bob Dylan

[Central Scrutiniser]

So what?

His music is good.

[NeoCaveman]

I love that picture.

Although I don't really believe cats repent.

"I been hangin' on threads,
I been playin' it straight,
Now, I've just got to cut loose
Before it gets late.
So I'm going,
I'm going,
I'm gone."

You should too. 'Bye.

[Slings and Arrows]

Although I don't really believe cats repent.

Of course not. Who do you repent to when you think you're G-d?

[dfwgator]

Actually, I happen to be listening to Miles Davis right now (Bitches Brew). Do you also have an opinion about him?

God doesn't care who you listen to. Unless of course you listen to Kenny G. That will earn you a one-way ticket to Hell.

[9999lakes]

Like Dylan.

Just wanted to be part of the thread.

[Sam Cree]

"What will I call the phony conservatives from California then?"

Don't know, but it's got to be fun figuring it out!

[68 grunt]

But the analogy is so great. The ilk are part of a herd, there's an ilk grove, there're bulls and cows and a bunch of the followers. Callin' 'em a pack of weasels loses sumtin ...

[Rocko]

God doesn't care who you listen to. Unless of course you listen to Kenny G. That will earn you a one-way ticket to Hell.

If I listen to his duet with Sinatra, will that send me only halfway?

[dynachrome]

Should we wake mom for this one?

[scott says]

Thanks for posting that article! LMAO! Brilliant writing- what a treat.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Bob Dylan? Is he still alive? How old is he anyway, 70?

Could you also give us a list of all the singers, actors, and actresses who are anti-Bush, anti-conservative, anti-Christian, who don't respect authority and have children out of wedlock, who use drugs and participates in unusual life styles?

Wait... I just described almost all of Hollywood! What am going to do now? I won't be able to watch a movie or listen to a song since the great majority of them resemble my description, yikes!

Oh well, I guess I will just freep and make sure to read your valuable advice. Otherwise, I won't be able to make up my mind or figure out what's right or wrong. ;-)

By the way, since I'm feeling quite generous tonight, I have uploaded a few songs...

Bob Dylan – Blowing In The Wind

Bob Dylan - Everything Is Broken

Bob Dylan - Forever Young

Bob Dylan - Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone

Bob Dylan - Mr Tambourine Man

Bob Dylan - Ring Them Bells

Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

[RedRover]

Got it! ;)

[darkwing104]

Do you like kitties? I think Bob Dylan does!

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.

[HitmanLV]

Hey some great songs! Thanks for sharing them!

And of course you are right - most of the entertainment biz is fruit-loopy liberal. What are you going to do?

[Liberty Valance]

Neighborhood Bully.

Well, the neighborhood bully,
he's just one man,
His enemies say he's on their land.
They got him outnumbered about a million to one,
He got no place to escape to, no place to run.
He's the neighborhood bully.

The neighborhood bully just lives to survive, He's criticized and condemned for being alive.
He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have
thick skin,
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in.
He's the neighborhood bully.

The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land,
He's wandered the earth an exiled man.
Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn,
He's always on trial for just being born.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized,
Old women condemned him, said he should apologize.
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad.
The bombs were meant for him.
He was supposed to feel bad.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him,
'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a license to kill him is given out to every maniac.
He's the neighborhood bully.

He got no allies to really speak of.
What he gets he must pay for, he don't get it out of love.
He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace,
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease.
Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly.
To hurt one they would weep.
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Every empire that's enslaved him is gone,
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon.
He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand,
In bed with nobody, under no one's command.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Now his holiest books have been trampled upon,
No contract he signed was worth what it was written on.
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth,
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health.
He's the neighborhood bully.

What's anybody indebted to him for?
Nothin', they say.
He just likes to cause war.
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed,
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed.
He's the neighborhood bully.

What has he done to wear so many scars?
Does he change the course of rivers?
Does he pollute the moon and stars?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill,
Running out the clock, time standing still,
Neighborhood bully.

I knew you were a troll before. IATZ.

[Victoria Delsoul]

What are you going to do?

Well, that's why we got Weep-o-crat here.

[Hi Heels]

I actually met Bob Dylan in a little cafe in Ventura. We call it "Bob and Birdpoop Day" back in the 70's sometime. My Bizerkly schooled sister and I were having lunch when we saw Dylan sitting across from us. I stood up and walked over to him with my sister on my heels. I blerted out, "you're Bob Dylan" and then burst into tears. As Bob was trying to comfort me, a gigantic seagull flew over and did his business right in my sisters face. I mean it was gruesome.

Poor Bob. He was wiping her face and trying to calm me down and we nary spoke of this for years the embarassment was so bad.

Just in case you're a troll, may I introduce you to....

....

I don't care or know WHAT Dylan's politics are, and wish all of them would simply shut up and act/sing/dance.

[djf]

What is the point of a thread like this? There are hundreds of people we could start threads on because we disagree with something about them.

I don't expect politicians to sing, why should I expect entertainers to be leaders?
