pete seeger cried...because he knew dylan had more talent in his little toe than seeger had in his whole self. where dylan moved the art forward seeger continued his preachy condescending crap to the delight of his moralizing fans everywhere. standard lefty narcissism
Thank you so much for releasing this current video of her! I miss her voice so much! She still looked amazing! Most good singers passed away and it makes me so sad. But we are still so lucky to still have her and Ian Tyson, including Gordon Lightfoot. I still have her records of all the songs she sang in her early days. I want to know more about her song, "Bill, Will you Please Take Me Home". In the meantime, Thank you, Sylvia Tyson for everything! It was an amazing year!
@MrDavearama - It was partly this perspective as Sylvia mentioned, plus an acute awareness by her and Ian Tyson in their Greenwich Village days in the early 1960's that they were guests in the U.S., why in their music and otherwise they were very much apolitical. Over the long haul, this strategy has proven a very wise move, given how their music remains as potent and relevant today as when they originally recorded their seminal material.
Sylvia has a point in regard to protest songs. If you are going to express yourself politically you should veil it somehow so the songs stand the test of time. I've done it myself with my own material. Bob Dylan wasn't going to be tied down to one way of being. He had to grow and evolve. If he hadn't we wouldn't have been blessed with such albums as "Blood On The Tracks", "Street Legal," and "Desire," and "Nashville Skyline" to name a few.
Very insightful observations by Sylviacomments. Sadly, a couple of the comments below provide proof that the virtual absence of Dylan on youtube provides a disservice to more youthful members of the community which, if nothing else, would serve as educational material.
Clearly I'm showing my age, but I assume that they are talking about Bob Dylan going electric? I barely remember him, but then I'm a child of the 90s.
@Deadmansparty2002 I don’t know what kind of music you are into but you should really look into Bob Dylan ... my personal suggestion would be The BootLeg Tapes (I think that’s what they are called anyway, there are 3 or 4 of them)

Bob Dylan did some great music before he "went electric".
And he did some great music after he "went electric".
Either way, Bob Dylan is an all-time great of American music.

I love this woman. First she has a lovely voice, and second is so right about most protest music.

@Deadmansparty2002 Yes, they're referring to Dylans transition from acoustic to electric.

@WastedDaze78 I know who Bob Dylan is, and I'm pretty sure I've heard his music, but when I think Bob Dylan in my head no songs come to mind.
