Bob Dylan and Co. 'Folk songs...' (part 1 of 6)

[tidalwavedave305]

Dylan gives a look like, "this is a bit cheesy, but I'm sure you'll forgive me when I sing my song."

[Lazairus]

ahh dylan is only a little sprat there



[dbart101]

Nightime6 and specialgary78, you are of another generation. Take your rap and shove off.

[clint3536]

[CarolineChe]

[DuneDingDong]

[mfmartinez]

[mancheromanchero]

dylan looks like a lost highschool boy

[RingoLover64]

AAAAAAW Bobby's adorable! When he walks passed and looks at the camera!!!!!! :D HE's my love!

[hsindylee]

[54spiritedwill54]

[specialgary78]

it's assholes like you ulliboll that drag the rest of the world down. you are truly a shithead. Go play in traffic and do the rest of us a favor.

[UncleFred161]

My god people, listen to the song again, please, it sounds as if you all have missed the real message here, can't we all just get along ? It's gonna be a hard rain comin' !

[ulliboll]

what a load of crap

hes a well promoted product.... Hes real name is Robert Zimmermann another Jew with a german name... I thought they where all supposed to have been gassed

[Rroutch]

Hey assman, careful with what you're saying, you may hurt a bunch of people there...

[NamesJavon]

Ur a fucken moron its ppl like u that started World War2, u degenerate fuck lol ur 49 and u probably live in your mothers basement still maybe your a little pissed cos daddy touched you when you were a kid :)

[davidjuliankoch]

First off, it's you're, as in 'you are'... Second, it's just WW2, not "The WW2"... "Everybody knowS that"... So shove your swastika up your ass... Thirdly, he would have been more famous had he not spent six months licking acid off your grandmoms tits

[ulliboll]

Koch !!!!!

[davidjuliankoch]

you can mess with the jews all you want, dont mess with bob :)

[ulliboll]

Mr zimmermann.......bob is already a mess... and a jewish one at that !!

[amnesiac2325]

dude elvishitler, you dont know a god damn thing about bob dylan. he wasnt bashing his folkie roots, he loves woody guthrie and lead belly. the people around him like pete seeger turned there backs on him after he went electric. the brothers 4 folk group is lame, but dylans early folk shit is some of the greatest music ever. read the lyrics dumbass

[jamesklecka]

elvishitler suck dick

[Nighttime6]

To elvishitler: Whats hard to believe is that you like Dylan... only the truely ignorant could compliment Dylan and trash his roots in one thought. You might be surprised by how many great bands and musicians have thier roots in this "crappy music". DUMB ASS

[elvishitler]

i've been a dylan fan forever. seeing his tour with the band in the mid 70s is still the best concert i've ever seen. one doesn't have to be a 1940s folkie to like dylan. remember this: even dylan turned his back on that shit old school workers rights folk music. think about that. dylan knew it it was lame. he left it and created his greatest music. so who's the dumb ass--ass wipe.

[almanacofsleep]

elishitler your still the dumb ass wipe.

[elvishitler]

actually, it's spelled 'you're' not 'your'. who's the dumb ass? moron.

[almanacofsleep]

Still you I'm afraid. If your only counter argument is to call up a small spelling error then you can not hope to disprove my comment, dumb ass!

[bobdylan4evr]

knowing basic grammar doesn't make you overly intelligent

[friday0408]

No, but it sure is a big step these days.

[elvishitler]

even dylan himself in the 70s trashed his folkie roots. read the rolling stone interviews from that period. dylan makes it very clear about what he thought about his early days. i'll take his word over yours. loser.

[GuitarJimBourke]

@Nighttime6 bob dylan or zimmermann made a comment recently, that folk music is for fat people.

now is that a knock on Bourke or what..you were just doing it, because every one was doing it. i have to laugh.

1000s of years history of folk music.. overcome by a stupid rock n roll hall of fame..we at the folk hall sing -the the bob dylan poem: by andrew pullman..

[davidnc76]

great post!!!

[lecter316saysfuckyou]

hahahah Dylan's appearance is so ballin' in this commercial

[reckonman]

carolyn hester is awesome

[BEATNIKCASS]

thanks for this--here in australia we never saw it.

[elvishitler]

dylan is amazing. it's hard to believe he started out singing this crappy music.

[ex0ja]

Worst comment I've ever seen on youtube.

[elvishitler]

what the hell does that mean? if you're one of those work shirt-negro/worker rights-folkie-frozen in 1960 ass wipes, then i understand your comment. if you're at least under 50, please explain your comment.

[blondebouclee]

I'm 25, and I have to tell you that Dylan's best albums were the one's he did before he began using electronic instruments. "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" is the very best.

[castletriglav]

@blondebouclee You do realize that Dylan trashed the folk scene and the counter culture movement in his book? Folk was popular when Bob started out, and he wrote and performed what he had to in order to get a record deal. He knew from day one, that he was going to go electric. Bob referred to folk music as,"a bunch of fat people". Bob had more in common with the Beatles than he did with any folk artist. He despises most of the songs he wrote in the 60s.

[allenshepard]

@castletriglav he also put down someone who I looked up to through my whole childhood in his book you might know Ronnie Gilbert ( of the weavers) he tried to say she told the crowd at newport one night to take him we dont want him" Now that's not at all what she said at all if you watch the video she clearly gives a nice introduction.

I also read that He told Joan baez that the only reason he wrote hard rain was because he thought it would sell.he turned and screwed over a lot of peoplewhohelhi

[MarianoJRibeiro]

@castletriglav that's not quite true, maybe the protest songs, like emmet till and all that kind of ballads, but dylan truly enjoyed follk music, what about woody gutrhie ? of course he knew that if he wanted to achieved success he would have to start as a folk singer, but as any kind of roots, he loves folk, as he loves country or even bluegrass, that doesn't mean that he has to do that forever

[BobDylansDream3]

@elvishitler yeah im three years late, but you are still 3 years stupid so i thought it should be said, folk is crappy music you think? obviously your an idiot, because folk is what got dylan famous, and no he didnt leave it because he thought it was lame, he left it because tho he loved it he really wanted to get a band going. DUMBASS.

[sunriseRISE]

LOOK OUT HERE COME THE BRITISH

[xxnorthcountryxx]

hahaha Yeah, this makes me laugh too - Bob walking past and glancing at the camera like - "Uhh... I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do...Should I smile? No, this is awkward..." *walks quickly by*

People say that he's cold, but I think it speaks well of his character that he doesn't like the spotlight. Go Dylan!!!!

[LeViePink]

hahahah

i love how bob walks by!

hes way cuter than anyone has the right to be.

what a neat show:]

[CraigM1990]

I think its hillarious when u first see dylan walk past

[bareseverace]

Ahahahah what a face!!

[MaxPower1013]

awesome

[256aLaCarte]

Was that all of Carolyn Hester? Was hoping to find a video of her singing "I Got the Baseball Blues 'Cause You Won't Give Me Your Baseball Shoes." She was blond by the time I saw her sing it, probably about 1967. I've never heard it again and have never forgotten it.

[streetlegalrev]

poor bob, what bad shit made you do this!

[dionnewarpig]

Dylan? Hester? Staples? Dane? Am I dreaming?

[wmbrown6]

The group doing "Rock Island Line" was The Brothers Four. Also, at the time host John Henry Faulk was hosting a radio show on Westinghouse-owned WINS in New York - this, two years before that station went all-news. That might explain his taking part in this pilot.

[13thnote]

Bob Dylan's cool.

[littlecave]

hahaha

aww man

I love Bob

[SteerforthBinoculars]

I do believe Dylan is the only person who can look extra cool by just walking by.

... and that band does a really corny version of Rock Island Line

[Steveaux]

Hahaha! The way Bob goes past the camera. It's surreal. Almost like a joke.

[willi234]

Dylan is not relevent anymore.

[dianawolf]

pfftttt.

uh huh.

right

sure

of course

lordhavemercy.

you haven't been relevant yet.

[bulbheadmyass]

I know this comment is a year old, but I just bumpled into it, and I think your answer is brilliant. "You haven't been relevant yet."

[eleot]

His Royal Bobness had his 54th album out and Debuted in Billboard USA N1. This week he tops the European Top 100. HE is more relevant today than you would be in 10,000 lifetimes my child. Punk!

[autodane]

That was random.

[givesomelovin]

Great cultural value!

[oxfordrun]

is any way i can see those bob dylan performances?
