Bob Dylan

[Langdale Wolf]

I told langham wolf the other day that intellectual insults fly over my head and are completely wasted on me!

[sifi]

Who???????

[Langdale Wolf]

You don't know him? Really? He's on here all the time. He's like you, actually but cool. He's kind of like Ace to your Arnold. Smoke him a kipper. Whadda guy ...

[russycarps]

Phew. Nice post. I was worried I was on the going to be on the end of an old carp features vendetta

What nick does he does wonderfully well. I think there is an element of "jack of all trades, master of none" about bob dylan.

Although I do have to take exception to this "Jack of All Trades" rubbish. He completely and utterly owned the protest song in every way. You only have to look at Masters of War to see that. He also nailed surrealism and imagery in his lyrics to see that - and you only have to look at Desolation Row to see that. He nailed personal feeling to such an extent that it made Lennon and McCartney wet themselves - you only have to look at th words of Like a Rolling Stones to see that. And if you can think of a better crafted country song than Lay Lady Lay, you are a better man than I.

Not sure what all you Dylan fans will think of this!

It's sort of compulsive viewing in a 'train wreck' sort of way.

I love Dylan. He is one of my favourite artists. I saw him at the Roundhouse last year and thought he was amazing. BUT I'm not convinced that he would go down well at Glasto. The fact he will not be playing his songs in the manner and with the tune that people are expecting isn't going to go down too well with a crowd looking for a greatest hits singalong.

[St.Jimmy]

His early "times they are a changin" 60s stuff is as important, and done better (way better), than anybody. Lennon and McCartney included.

[Sinner Boy]

Seen Bob 3 times, Love and theft tour 2002 was without doubt the best, he still played the hits in a relatively familiar way and the setlist was floorless, i won't bore you with the details, lets just say he opened with maggies farm, and the last 2 where forever young and like a rolling stone.

However, the second time, still great, not so spellbinding a set though

Then again a few months ago on the latest tour, i was front row, so i was just in shock to be so close to a man who i proclaim to be the god of music, and everything in it. However, i can see how some people [possibly idiots?] may not like him [or understand] the angle which he's coming from.

Personally I think he'll be below u2 on friday, he won't headline, but he'll be the second from the top on the card, if he plays that is.

I would love to see him again, you should all be lucky to be in the presense of dylan, ... however i can't see a glasto dizzee rascal 2009 crowd reacting the same way to things have changed as they do to bonkerrrrs

McCartney was interviewed by Zane Lowe last night on VH1 and was asked who he thinks would be a good call for Glasto, he said Dylan.

Fairly bog standard response.

[Sinner Boy]

That is total GENIUS! What more subversive move could Dylan do at this stage than release a novelty Christmas song?! ;D

There's no mention of Glasto on boblinks.com.

6/11/10 Prague, Czech Republic

6/12/10 Linz, Austria

And the thing you posted had Glastonbury in upper case. How strange.

[Rossc88]

Apologies...that was me adding Glastonbury (thought the ???? may of give it away).

I must read by posting in future!

[sifi]

I thought general feeling was that he wasn't coming to the UK this year. He seems to come every other year.
