Gee, you'd almost think he was a closet Republican...

I bet a lot of aging hippies are getting deeply depressed even as we speak.

"In my real life I got to do the things that I loved the best and that was all that mattered - the Little League games, birthday parties, taking my kids to school, camping trips, boating, rafting, canoeing, fishing," he writes.

Welcome to the real world...middle America and everything that goes with it.

Dylan is one of my all time favorites. If you listen to a lot of his songs, you have to wonder why all the peaceniks were so enamored with him. Cardgames, gunfights, fighting, all were prominent in Dylan songs. The Dead to a lesser extent were the same way. I have always thought Dylan was a closet conservative..

Never heard of him. I was born in 1946.

"Not only that, but creeps thumping their boots across our roof could even take me to court if any of them fell off. This was so unsettling. I wanted to set fire to these people."

Are you listening, John Edwards?

I never liked Dylan, never got him. I always thought his music was basicly devoid of meaning, even when I was a hippy radical. In the sixties, my college friends would spend hours analyzing his poetry. I thought it was mostly meaningless rhymes.

I may have to take another look at him.

"I had very little in common with and knew even less about a generation that I was supposed to be the voice of," - Dylan

I've known this about Dylan for a long time. The guy never protested the Vietnam War -- all his so-called "protest" albums were released pre '64. At about that time he saw that he was being adopted by the folksy hippie-dippy types and abruptly changed course with Bring it all Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited (1965). .....all-time rockers. He's always been a rebel.

Wow, we're heard from Dylan and the Cat. Now we just need Mr. Mellow Yellow to check in.

Saw Bob in Concert in Birmingham, AL last year. He looks like death warmed over (Think Kieth Richards on a bad hair day), but played for almost 3 hrs and brought the house down. One of the best concerts I have been to in a long long time.

Get me a cabin, in Utah.
Marry me a wife, catch rainbow trout.
Have a bunch of kids who call, me, 'pa'.
That must be what it's all about.

unaccountable-looking characters, gargoyle-looking

I love Dylan, but let's face it, he probably wants to avoid making comments about how other people look.

Dylan? Ain't he the moron helped to get Hurricane out of jail? Must be a huge dose of white liberal guilt there.

Bob is no closet Republican. He sang at Clinton's first inauguration, and he supported Al Gore's campaign, calling him his buddy.

But he is a gun owner. Like he said in his film Masked and Anonymous, "I gotta lot of respect for a gun."

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
