Obama Can’t Believe Bob Dylan Didn’t Want to Have His Picture Taken With Him

“Bob is more conservative than a lot of people suspect.”

Bob Dylan -
Life and career · Never Ending Tour · Artist · Discography
In the late 1970s, Dylan became a born-again Christian and released two albums of Christian gospel music...

I "rediscovered" Dylan after his Christian albums. Oh Mercy! remains probably my favorite.

"He's the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You got a heart of stone"

Because he showed up

Billy Joel's version is good, too. Check it out.

“I hope Chumley is smarter than he acts. He?s funny.”

I doubt it. Love the show though!!

[don-o]

Ironically enough, Bob was perfectly happy to appear with the lovable idiot Chumlee on “Pawn Stars”.

Bob was also apparently not outraged a couple of years ago, when a young New Jersey cop failed to recognize him and rousted him as a "suspicious character" wandering around a neighborhood.

Found this that is mentioned upthread (All: we do not have TeeVee)

Dylan may recognize a phony, but he must be gazillionaire by now.

He’s one of the guys Obama’s going to tax.

Dylan’s a long way from, “I was hungry and it was your world.”

Having been a huge Dylan fan for over 30 years, familiar with his lyrics, I’d like to think that the Pres_ent should be happy that while Dylan accepted the gig, had the class to not flip him off to his face.

I don’t wanna work on ‘bama’s farm no more!

once one gets suckered into attempting to pick up a terd by the clean end....it leaves its mark on ya forever...

Kuehl.

I used to play that song a lot in my youth. Drove the dog crazy however...he couldn’t stand Dylan’s harmonica. Oddly enough, a co-worker and I were reciting lines from it the other day at work. I think the line about the agents and the superhuman crew rounding up everyone who knows more than they do is Dylan’s best.

[kabumpo]

Because their entire livelihood depends on him and he can fire any of them at the snap of a finger. That’s what it’s like working with the mega famous.

Here ya go.

You show up for the Office - not the man as pathetic as he is. Dylan is known to be a libertarian and has been very critical of Obama.

[J Edgar]

Thanks for the correction. I was going by a radio blurp that I had heard saying that Dylan had endorsed The Usurper.

“Chumley for president!”

I predict the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop from Pawn Stars will have their taxes audited.

Hello MB! I’m happy to see you still gracing this joint!

[pissant]

I think that covers it
