Folk music icon Bob Dylan will perform at this year's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota.

Buffalo Chip Campground owner Rod Woodruff says Dylan is scheduled to perform on Aug. 10.

"Folk Music icon". Criminy, that's about 4 decades behind the times.

[Huck]

His voice will sound like an idling Harley.

The answer my friend
is singing in Depends
the answer is singing in Depends

[Recon Dad]

He’s going to go over like a turd in a punch bowl.

[pissant]

Wrong. Biker love Dylan. Always have.

[Joe Boucher]

I’d like to be there when Peter Fonda shows up.
Place goes wild when he rides in on a replica of his famous bike.

[pissant]

He’s dead, isn’t he?

[ErnBatavia]

He had a sex change, and now goes by the name “Fonda Peters”....

Most of the acts playing there this year are from the ‘60s and ‘70s and ‘80s. So probably are most of the bikers. Dylan won’t have a problem (unless he wants one).

[pissant]

Fonda Peterless?

[Recon Dad]

I now have less respect for Bikers.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Dylan has paid his motorcycle dues, that’s for sure, nearly killing himself on one back in the 60’s.

[Joe Boucher]

No.
From what I heard last year he showed up at the largest party of the ralley at some camp site where over a hundred thousand were at.
The crowd just may have been consuming adult beverages and went crazy.
Pete may look dead but not quite yet.

His voice will sound like an idling Harley.

I was recently at a military funeral and the Patriot Guard Riders were also there (in anticipation of an appearance by the crazy people). When I heard the Harleys rev their motors, it occurred to me, "That's the sound of freedom."

So another attempt at an original slam on Bob...fails.

[Mr. Blonde]

I was thinking the same thing about the “folk music icon” label. At this point, I think music icon suffices.

It's not a slam. It's a fact. I've seen Bob live 9 or 10 times. The last time was the LAST time. He still manages to get some decent ideas recorded in the studio, but live he's pretty grotesque at this point.
