It's not dark yet.....
He owes me a free ticket for the show I paid to see him and he showed up drunk and couldn’t play or sing.
Does he have to pay royalties on the songs he sings? He no longer owns those rights.
The fact this man and Keith Richards are stilll alive shows just how much biology trumps healthy living
Where are all of his anti-war songs now that his President is about to get us into another Democrat world war?

I saw him first on the ‘Slow Train Coming’ tour in 1979, San Francisco Warfield Theater.. he was pretty good that show... had Mark Knofler on guitar. Last time I saw him was with the Grateful Dead in 1987 at Oakland Coliseum... not as intimate a venue as the Warfield, but still was a good show. I’ve heard stories of him bombing often though... I guess it depends on his mood.
Dylan may be the only aged rocker who’s voice gets better with old age.
One of my favorite songs. I grew up listening to Dylan. My brother is, what they call now, a superfan. I did not hear this song until 2015 when Callum Scott sang it. I had no idea Dylan wrote it until I looked to see if SCOTT wrote it! LOL.
The idiot sold his soul.
He said that in a 60 minutes interview.
Never a huge fan, but gotta say that for me, ‘Blood On The Tracks’ stands with any of the great rock albums
Ugh. Never understood the appeal. But, he can write a good poem.
It’s doubtful Dylan is a Biden supporter... As far as ‘protest songs’.. that was two albums when he was in his early 20s. Still very strong albums by any measure... ‘Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ and ‘The Times they are a Changing...’ He had an Italian-American girlfriend who was to the left of Joan Baez... when he got over her, he got over that...
“You don’t need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows.”
Dylan is a deeply spiritual guy who basically did not ask to be “THE VOICE OF HIS GENERATION” and really just wanted to be left alone. He writes about in his autobiography.
If I recall, most of Dylan’s anti-war songs were written in the early 60s when JFK and LBJ were in office.
So, why isn’t he writing new songs now to protest Biden’s War?
The Night That Barack Obama Won, and Bob Dylan Celebrated

Bob Dylan’s son, director Jesse Dylan and Executive Producer Priscilla Cohen teamed up with will.i.am on this piece for then-candidate Barack Obama in the summer of 2008. In these early days of digital, the video went viral, and helped ignite a new wave of enthusiasm for Obama during the Democratic Primary.
Bob Dylan called the election a day early when he predicted last night that President Obama would handily win, The Associated Press reports. “Don’t believe the media. I think it’s going to be a landslide,” Dylan said midway through performing “Blowin’ in the Wind” during the encore of a concert in Madison, Wisconsin.
Dylan’s performance came just hours after Obama had appeared at a Madison rally with Bruce Springsteen. Dylan noted the convergence, saying, “We tried to play good tonight since the president was here today.”

LOL. He can’t sing when he’s sober! Heck of a poet and a songwriter, tho. My favorite Dylan songs are the ones sung by someone else.
Well, ahem....that’s not saying much.
Other than recklessness on a motorcycle what did Dylan do that would have endangered him? I think I’ve read the Beatles got him high high on grass. I don’t think he had typical rock star rough and rowdy ways. He certainly can’t be compared Richards, who must be mummified by now.
