  • @dylanparker72 i have always thought so. :-)

  • This is how the Nazis started! you all are trumped here- end of comments.....

  • Dylan is fucking incredible!! I cant believe I didn't start listening to this sort of thing earlier in my life. Sums it all up.

  • The great master of all lyrics.Thanks.

  • This is one of my all time favourite songs, I love to play this song !

  • pure historic magic, just love Bobs songs, cheers The Makem Folk Singer

  • Put it another way-Dylan transcends trival opinions of his limitations.

    This is greatness.In 20 or 30 years time, people will still be moved by this.

  • @benroo89 What my father meant was that the beauty of bob dylan tracended his technical limitations (Vocal and musical) and if you want to make judgements on a hard working man stuck in a dead end job based on one sentance of dialogue that you have terribly misinterprated then you have to live with that but I would suggest you get down of your high horse and actually listen to the song you're commenting on. Astounding.

  • @stickyjam1 Just what musical limitations would you say that Bob Dylan has? Consider that he could write great songs faster than anyone. His vocal melodies are both intuitive and innovative. Have you ever tried to write a song? Forget great, pertinent lyrics that echo through time. Just try to write melody over some chords and see how far you get. Bob Dylan is one of the most talented musicians in history. His vocal limitations are irrelevant. His voice is honest and endearing.

  • @stickyjam1 If your father meant that "The beauty of Bob Dylan transcended* his technical limitations", why did he not say that? Instead he said "Terrible but brilliant though not good in any real sense." Not only is it ridiculous but patent contradiction. "Not good in any real sense" cannot be easily misconstrued. Dylan is not good, he's great. He's right up there with the likes of Beethoven.

  • Please don't ever take down this video!

  • The best reveiw I've ever heared of Bob Dylan was by my father; "Terrible but brillant though not good in any real sense." Fantastic.

  • oh god thats horrible singing, i love it!

  • @ingateman completely agree, I love artists like Dylan who can't sing for shit but it sounds so amazing :D

  • whats this all about then,

  • @galleybox it's about love being simple, not all the games and showmanship and rituals ("cloak and dagger dangles...") that people do when they're in love (carrying flowers, making promises, talking of the future, repeating quotations....but that's just superficial like statutes made of matchsticks.....and bankers' nieces who seek perfection......

  • ha thef25key fair play

  • dylans twilight

  • comparing the beatles to dylan is like comparing dog shit to caviar,lennon wasnt fit to lace dylans desert boots!

  • @phre33k yeah,maybe.fact is,the beatles introduced dylan to tea & biscuits do'nt you know!hee hee

  • @phre33k if you've heard lennon's post-beatles albums you can't truly believe that!

  • You know who you are.... deep joy!

  • The guy's just a genius..

  • Comment removed

  • Pipe down and enjoy the music, Scott.

  • when thinking of what lyrics is your favourite from this song, you realise its impossible.

    the lyrics are amazing, every line is different class.

  • thank you very much, bye...

  • I'm 18 & British i can safely say Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time, Music is dead in the 21st century

  • I disagree. Yeah there is loads of rubbish out there but if you dig around a bit you will find music thats really great. Just don't stop looking for it!

  • I'm 14 years old and British...and Bob Dylan is simply incredible! I wish more people my age listened to his music instead of bands like MCR and Blink 182.

    Good music seems to be becoming a thing of the past.

  • I agree ilvekenn22, but if you search out bands who feel the same way you do about music then you will be very happy - start looking for smaller, newer bands that directly appeal to you...and not just what the record companies think you want to hear.

  • Yeah I get your point, but those kinds of bands are so hard to find!

    Just because the general public seem to like to listen to utter crap, other people suffer as a result of that.

  • its on 'brinin' it all back home'

  • thanks jimbob

  • can someone please tell me what album this song is on. thanks.

  • Bringing it all back home

  • cheers mate

  • Perfect. Jei, English

  • i am british and agree dylan was the greatest artist of all time tho the lennon and mcartney come close but dylan after all inspired everything that came after him

  • It's so amusing hearing British people slag Bob Dylan, yet I bet they idolise the Beatles. If only they could understand that without Bob Dylan bands like the Beatles would have never, ever existed. He is by far and away the most influential musician of our age.

  • I disagree.

  • It's a bit ridiculous to say that bands like The Beatles woudn't even have existed if it weren't for Bob Dylan, as The Beatles didn't even her about Dylan until they were a successful band in Britain and Europe. They were influenced by him when they heard him tho.

  • Bob Dylan and The Beatles are astoundly influencial to the "modern Music". They shouldn't be compared for so many reasons. First off Bob Dylan is one man and the Beatles are a band of people. The Beatles influenced the pop genre and Bob Dylan inspired pretty much every singer-songwriter since the 60's and is also a huge credit to modern anti-war groups. They should not be compared, they are both revolutionary

  • @lenstonbain Very true, plus The Beatles also influenced Dylan. The 1960's was a stomping ground for amazing musical talents, and all the artists added together today don't equal 1 hundreth of the talent of Dylan, never mind the rest of the artists in the 1960's.

  • I am 20 years old and British...Dylan is my all time hero and i think he is THE greatest artist that has and WILL ever be. Dylan is all i listen to.

  • Wonderful! More please. Still as relevant as it was all those years ago.

  • u dont have to british to get on the bbc i dont know what this idiot is talking about :s

  • Cheers, Beeb. Great stuff.

  • I will. Thank you good sir.

  • Bob Dylan is a foreigner. How he got on the BBC God only knows.

  • Dose matter wear something beautiful comes from. He may have been born in the USA in 1941, but he would probably describe himself has a citizen of the world. I'm not an avid fan but I do like Hey Mr Tambourine Man, anyway good luck to you solder and keep smiling.

  • I didn't know that you had to be from Britain to get on the BBC, when did they start this rule? Maybe it has to do with the fact that he has a huge fanbase in the UK and has been touring here every year since his never ending tour started in the 80's. The guy is a total legend so shut it.

  • don't listen to this man, he's not from Britain - he is a foreigner.

  • Im Scottish my friend - so your right, I'm not Brittish.

  • First of all it's "British". Secondly, Scotland is part of Britain so if you were born there you are also British.

    I don't know how some of these comments got on youtube - they're not British!

  • You obviously haven't heard the slogan "Scottish Not Brittish", 'mon the SNP!

  • "British"

  • I'm sorry, British.

  • I'm all for the SNP see how you get along! Most "Scots" live in england!

  • cdylan, i mean this in the most nicest way i can possibly thing of saying. I mean if i where to try and think of some way that would put my point across any other way without offending you i dont think i could. Your a fucking freak.

  • lol

    Who gives a fuck what you are. How do you get from Bob Dylan to arguing about Scottish independance?

  • Mr.Dylan can do that to people.
