What an ass. Bob Dylan sang Woody Guthrie songs early in his career but he always gave Guthrie credit. However your statement of how he "made a career" is completely false. Dylan made his career on his genius songwriting. all of his best and most famous songs were written and performed by him. Songs like "A hard rains gonna fall", "Blowin in the wind" and most importantly "Like a Rolling stone".
Get your facts straight before raging on the greatest songwriter of all time.

WOW ... this could be the most pretentious moment I've ever seen.
Bob Dylan, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You made a career by blatantly STEALING the songs of Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott ... and marketing them in such a way that, other than actual people who have dealt with hard living, the middle-class could sink their dirty teeth into it.
HACKS ... Ginsberg ROBBED Whitman and Kerouac.

Where is Ginsberg's grave?

@ElGoodo now earlier, i said dylan was disingenuous with regard to his remark about wanting an unmarked grave. i said i meant this as "opinion," which being opinion, could be wrong. your suggestion that dylan may not've meant it, could be correct. also, my opinion or intuitive impression hinged off of my view that the man is egocentric and arrogant, which you vehemently disagree with. i gave you my reasons, which you haven't really rebuked. maybe mr. jones knows a little somethin', eh?

@ElGoodo well there you go. if he has acknowledgement of his place in music, which is a great one, then obviously the man knows of his greatness in music. same for gretzsky. one doesn't have to explicitly dwell on it when waking up, etc. it's basically a self-awareness packed away in the subconscious. "the great one," is merely a cute phrase eventually attached to gretzsky after he clearly demonstrated and knew his greatness in hockey by smashing more records than anyone else.

@vinnynumbnuts I didn't say he doesn't acknowledge his place in music, but I just don't think he dwells on it like you seem to think he does. And did Gretzky coin the term "the great one" I don't think he did and I'm sure the first thought he has when he wakes up isn't "i'm the great one" it's probably something mundane, you know like a normal human being. But somethings happening here and you don't know what it is, do you Mr. Jones?

@vinnynumbnuts they say he thought himself to be the most cynical person around and nobody could match him.actually I think Lenon put him in his place.dylan and humility never went together.now wait and see how the youtube nazis are gonna attack me now!

@lionsome actually, if i were that journalist, i would've laid into the snotty little brat--not with a slap up the side of the head, which would be tempting, but with good sober reasoning...something dylan doesn't seem to have too much of.

@lionsome i remember a vid on dylan raking this poor time magazine journalist over the coals. he told the polite man that his work, his publication has no truth. what arrogance, i thought. dylan's clearly got his head up his ass. come on, to say journalists from time magazine and every other publication is a joke, is incredibly egomaniacal on dylan's part. i'm sure time mag has lost journalists searching for the truth. here, a young journalist lady for my paper was killed in afganistan

@vinnynumbnuts I agree.dylan is an egoistical prick
One upping each other on famous grave visits
