Tons of people listen to Bob Dylan often. I go through a Dylan phase every few months, especially Highway 61 Revisited. The dude just writes folk songs, its not like he's completely outdated and unapproachable.

Bob Dylan comes off as a weird insecure liar. He made a really bad parody of Ode to Billie Joe. He was apparently pissed off about that song for some reason.

Dylan was definitely a liar that was like his whole thing when he started out. The cynical take was his early folk stuff was an act of manipulation then he said "this is too easy" and then he invented songwriting in rock and roll and Bob Seeger tried to murder him with an axe. Also I really like the famous live show in 65 or 66 where a guy called him Judas, he was hot that night, but it's kind of funny how many music critics think it's the best thing ever because they were booing him. They booed! What an artist, he got booed!

Well first of all, it’s a pastiche of Dylan’s songwriting style, adapted to the Twitter format, which is funny in itself. But even more amusingly, it’s apparently a true story (according to MacDonald’s friends). I like the homage to Dylan’s style, and also the documentarian confirmation that Dylan is exactly what he appears to be in his art: an amusing, brilliant, insightful, occasionally-infuriating weirdo who spends zero amount of time trying to act “normal“.

I went to a Dylan concert and it was good. He had a guy playing violin who was very good at it and the songs were completely different arrangements from the albums so it was all fresh. It was a long time ago though so I don't remember what it sounded like.

I think that’s the vibe that Norm was going for.

I met my in-laws for the first time at a Dylan show. It was outside at Met Stadium and Willie Nelson opened. Willie especially kicked rear end. Dylan was good, but this was like 18 years ago now lol. The last time I saw him he did mostly bluesy stuff and it was terrible. I like Dylan but am not a superfan. Randomly Went to see the Gypsy will pop into my head which is not a bad thing to have pop in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF4duqDaK6c I love The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol, but its depressing as gently caress! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmbwU3J-2kk

Chicken Butt posted:A couple of examples: I'll check the links later but your description fits with what Norm said in some interviews. I'll paraphrase; truths are better than facts because facts are by nature devoid of emotion. Courts have stenographers describe events in a mathematical manner, i.e; X happened and then Y happened so then Z did that and X did [...] Print news works the same way. The facts are supposedly there, but a whole aspect of what is happening emotionally to the people involved in the stories is missing. So sometimes to get "truth" norm goes for lies that don't make the story true, but it rings true to the audience.

Bob Dylan is one of the top 5 greatest songwriters of the 20th century. He also has a weird singing voice that can be generously described as an acquired taste. If someone can't get past that, I don't blame them, but I also feel bad that they're going to miss out on a lot of great songs. (same about Tom Waits, but I actually like his weird voice where I can merely tolerate Dylan's)
