Just in case this wasn't posted (I didn't find it with a cursory review) This is worth keeping! (Dylan's 62nd Birthday is just a month away)

Ouch...that first sentence is a killer. lolololol

Funny stuff here!

For those with a weak imagination. . .

In other words, the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.

LOL!

appeared to be a shriveled penis that had spent way too long in the bath. On closer inspection, this turned out to be Bob Dylan's head.

I'd hate to see how the author describes Willy Nelson!

"bursting through the National Post masthead there appeared to be a shriveled penis that had spent way too long in the bath. On closer inspection, this turned out to be Bob Dylan's head."
So how did you stop laughing long enought to post this. I, frankly, hurt myself and I still can't stop.

[philetus]

This is funny

[Cuttnhorse]

I read this when it was first posted, but laughed all the way through it a second time. Priceless Mark Steyn...a lot of his stuff needs to be reviewed periodically.

[Revolting cat!]

I can't stop laughing whenever I think of how big a disappointment Zimmy has been to the Left over the past 35 or so years! They had to settle for mediocre Dylan wannabies like Johnny Cougar, poor babies!

"I think the last time I saw him on TV was the 80th birthday tribute to Sinatra six years ago, and, to judge from their respective states, if Frank was 80, Bob had to be at least 130. He mumbled his way through "Restless Farewell", though neither words nor tune were discernible, and then shyly offered, "Happy Birthday, Mister Frank." Frank sat through the number with a stunned look, no doubt thinking, "Geez, that's what I could look like in another 20, 25 years if I don't ease up on the late nights."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Dylan's never been much of a looker, but he's gotten awful ugly awful fast since supporting BillzaBubba in '92!! Makin' deals with Satan will eventually ketchup to ya...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"Bob, barely out of his teens, consciously adopted an aged singing voice and the experience it implied, a quintessentially Dylanesque jest on pop's Peter Pan ethos. When he emerged in the early Sixties, he was supposedly a drifter who had spent years on the backroads of America picking up folk songs from wrinkly old-timers, and who provoked Robert Shelton of The New York Times to rhapsodize about "the rude beauty of a Southern field hand musing in melody on his porch." Actually, he'd toiled instead at the University of Minnesota -- a Jewish college boy, son of an appliance store manager. The folk songs he knew had been picked up not from any real live folk, but from the records of Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Ramblin' Jack had rambled over from Brooklyn, dropping his own Jewish name -- Elliott Adnopoz -- en route. "There was not another sonofabitch in the country that could sing until Bob Dylan came along," pronounced Ramblin' Jack, with a pithiness that belies his sobriquet. "Everybody else was singing like a damned faggot." It's one of the more modest claims made on Dylan's behalf."

Once again, I did not know that...MUD

[Huck]

But it does seem to me that, while most rock stars pursue eternal youth, Dylan has always sought premature geezerdom.

Bullseye. Figures Steyn likes Bob. For any Dylan fan who hasn't checked it out, Love and Theft was a really great album.

God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son!"
Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on!"
God said, "No"
Abe said, "What?"
God said, "Whatever you do, the next time you see me commin', you better run!"
Abe said, "Okay, man, where you want this killin' done?"
God said, "Out on Highway 61."

Blood on the Tracks. One of the greatest albums of all time.... God bless ya Bob! This was a hilarious read....Steyn rocks!

Julius and Peter Orlovsky, Robbie Robertson & Dylan in City Lights The Orlovsky brothers, Robbie Robertson and Bob Dylan in the City Lights basement waiting to escape. The door to the basement is locked, people are trying to break it down. Dylan is here to be photographed for Blonde on Blonde with McClure and Ginsberg. Finally, we climbed out a window and ran down the alley so we could have a private session. prices & ordering information

McClure, Dylan and Ginsberg, North Beach This session was arranged the night before at a party after Bob Dylan's concert at the Berkeley Community Theater. Allen Ginsberg introduced me to Dylan and we arranged to do a photo session (for the Blonde on Blonde album) the same day as the Beat's last gathering at City Lights Books. At City Lights we hid out in the basement with Dylan and when the people started to break the door down we climbed out a window and ran down the alley and took this photograph. I was in college and living at home during the Beat period. I had to mow the lawn before I could borrow the car and go to San Francisco to shoot this photo and the City Lights Books last gathering of the Beats event. prices & ordering information

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.

He saw an animal that liked to growl
Big furry paws and he liked to howl
Great big furry back and furry hair
"Ah, think I'll call it a bear".

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.

He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled
He saw milk coming out but he didn't know how
"Ah, think I'll call it a cow".

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.

Yes, Dylan was truly a musical genius (sarcasm off)
