He made a terrible movie years back called Renaldo and Clara, used his own money and lost it all.

“When He Returns” has spoken to me for over four decades. I plan to have it played at my funeral, which I hope won’t be for a while yet.

All proceeds from his 2009 holiday album, “Christmas In The Heart,” were donated to the organization Feeding America, which helps feed 1.4 million families in need.

Worst Christmas album ever. I doubt many kids were fed.

"The financial terms of Dylan’s deal have not been disclosed."

They probably haven't finished typing out all the zeros at the end of the check.

Dylan,Joni Mitchell,The Beatles are three of the greatest songwriters. Listen to the lyrics of “My Back Pages” and “Mr Tambourine Man” and tell me that's not genius.Then try “Both Sides Now” and “In My Life”.

Most people don’t realize that Bob Dylan is actually a conservative. He once did a famous interview for 60 Minutes with Ed Bradley where he talks about how the Left was so down on him because he would never advocate for their various causes like they just assumed he would.

“Brilliant and moving, inspiring and beautiful, insightful and provocative, his songs are timeless — whether they were written more than half a century ago or yesterday. It is no exaggeration to say that his vast body of work has captured the love and admiration of billions of people all around the world. I have no doubt that decades, even centuries from now, the words and music of Bob Dylan will continue to be sung and played — and cherished — everywhere.”

“To me he is one of the greatest songwriters of all time and a true poet, YMMV!”

BUMP!

My best friend growing up was a Freeman. R.I.P. David Michael. Some called him Dave. Some called him Mike.

Sell out. What a rebel, right? Never cared for his snarly depressive garbage.

Bob runs hot and cold for me, but the hot ones are dear.

Give a listen to Pat Garret and Billy the Kid. That’s a hot one.

Shocking that he’s 79 considering his smoking and Lord knows what else. Must be Keith Richards blood kin.

Go watch the "Murder Most Foul" video with titles.....chilling peice of history

The opening lines:

'Twas a dark day in Dallas, November '63
A day that will live on in infamy
President Kennedy was a-ridin' high
Good day to be livin' and a good day to die
Being led to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb
He said, "Wait a minute, boys, you know who I am?"
"Of course we do, we know who you are"
Then they blew off his head while he was still in the car
Shot down like a dog in broad daylight

Oh....OK. (You obviously do not know Dylan’s music so it’s not even worth having a discussion with you about it)

I consider Subterranean Homesick Blues to be one of the worlds first rap tunes...

But Jamaican Ska might have been the source.
