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

Blasphemy!…

You had Bob Dylan here. How did that go?

Here’s what I love about Dylan: He was exactly as you’d expect he would be. He wouldn’t come to the rehearsal; usually, all these guys are practicing before the set in the evening. He didn’t want to take a picture with me; usually all the talent is dying to take a picture with me and Michelle before the show, but he didn’t show up to that. He came in and played “The Times They Are A-Changin’.” A beautiful rendition. The guy is so steeped in this stuff that he can just come up with some new arrangement, and the song sounds completely different. Finishes the song, steps off the stage — I’m sitting right in the front row — comes up, shakes my hand, sort of tips his head, gives me just a little grin, and then leaves. And that was it — then he left. That was our only interaction with him. And I thought: That’s how you want Bob Dylan, right? You don’t want him to be all cheesin’ and grinnin’ with you. You want him to be a little skeptical about the whole enterprise. So that was a real treat.

No, he performed when he could have declined. He endorsed Obama and gushed over him in the beginnig.

Dylan is a lefty as far as I know- "Hurricane Carter" is the mindless and careless defense of a killer and promotion of racism that didn't exist. Never mind the cruel and deliberate character assination of good men to make a point that was totally made up

“as far as you know”. Which ain’t far at all.

Glad to clear it up. Be careful of passing on, as factual, just about anything from the MSM. They are liars, by in large.

A self-ordained professor’s tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
“Equality,” I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now

Didn’t Dylan get arrested on suspicion of being homeless a couple of years ago, didn’t have any ID, and they had him down at the station until some sergeant said, uh... that’s Bob Dylan. Atlantic City if I remember correctly.

He’s just enjoying being a curmudgeon. Dylan is the type of guy who was a curmudgeon when he was 35.

I’m just dandy. Looking forward to another ski season, and a crushing defeat to the marxists in November. You been good?

I doubt that.

Not too familiar with Bob Dylan, I see.
