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.

[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

[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.

[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.

[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..

[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

[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

[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.
