That dude is either packing or he is the funniest most charming motherfucker on Earth. And he still couldn't hold on to her. Shoot your shot, player.
She's currently dating a camera operator. It feels like she's the kind of girl who doesn't even acknowledge physical attractiveness or wealth, she just makes all her dating decisions based on the vibe when you hang out.
She was the poster girl for Heavy Metal, and he created Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, then became editor of Heavy Metal.
Yes. Other people do a good job singing some of his songs, and he's a hell of a songwriter, but I'm not a fan of his performances.
I had a friend who was desperate to see him live because of that shitty and stupid hipster following towards him who still regard him as the epitome of cool, despite the fact he was popular 40 years before they were born. I warned him— go NOT go see that lazy, miserable fuck in concert. He won’t play a single song you like, he won’t acknowledge or even FACE the crowd, he’ll play for 45 minutes and then fuck off. Which is EXACTLY what he did. He stood at the very side of the stage, faced the other side and played some Hawaiian jazz bullshit for six or seven songs. No encore, thanks for your money. I saw him here in town because Foo Fighters were opening for him with an incredible acoustic guitar set of their hits. It made up for the fact I had to tolerate Dylan’s anemic, nonsensical and shitty music afterwards. He fucking sucks. Stick to writing.
The type of dementia my grandfather has dramatically impacted his speech. We helplessly watched him decline to point where a string of words was basically just a single slur with spaces in the middle to take a breath. He progressed rapidly after that until he was just sitting in a chair in his nursing home just silently staring off into space, while occasionally lashing out at his caregivers because he didn't understand what was happening around him. It was heartbreaking to watch someone I looked up to that was always full of laugh and laughter decline to essentially being a mannequin with a heartbeat and brain activity. Even with as heartbreaking as that was to witness, I'd rather have listened to him recite Shakespeare than listen to Bob Dylan sing anything.
…to add, playing guitar and harmonica at the same time is fucking lame, even when cool people do it. It always sounds shitty and you look like a huge asshole while doing it.
I remember watching some David Letterman special or something where he was a guest singer, and the World's most Dangerous Band had a bunch of guest players in it, like Steve Vai, and when Dylan came out to sing Rolling Stone, he could hardly stand he was so stoned. During the song, the keyboardist and backing vocals looked both entertained and confused because they couldn't understand a word of what he was saying, and were having problems listening for their cues, and Vai was laughing his ass of with the guys around him. It was one of the best unintendedly comedic skits of Letterman's career.
That keyboardist was Carole King, lol. The musician list was bananas: Chrissie Hynde, guitar Syd McGuinness, guitar Steve Vai, guitar Carole King, piano Paul Schaffer, keyboards James Brown, horn Edgar Winter, horn Doc Severinsen, trumpet Will Lee, bass Anton Fig & Jim Keltner, drums Roseanne Cash, Nancy Griffith, Emmylou Harris, Michelle Shocked, Mavis Staples doing backing vocals And, then Bob Dylan ruined it all with his singing and guitar. "Like A Rolling Stone" is a fantastic song, but this is a terrible version. One of the really funny things about that night that you didn't mention is Dave's intro. A lot of people know what a dick Dave can be, and as a former standup, he has a lot of caustic wit that he'll bury and bring out in little side jabs (like Norm Macdonald could do so well). If you listen to Dave, he very casually says something about Bob Dylan last appearing on the show back in 1984 and mentions the exact date. That was this performance: During that performance, Bob Dylan had the wrong harmonica. (If you've played, you know that they come in different keys - you can't just play every note on any harmonica.) So, he goes to get the harmonica and plays and realizes its the wrong key. So, then he spends a couple minutes fucking around, trying to get another harmonica. The band keeps on jamming. He finally gets the correct key and plays. Now, keep in mind, that TV show has a tight edit. So, what was supposed to be 3 1/2 minutes, Dylan has now made into a 5+ minute garage band jam. So, as a producer, Dave's losing money. Either they cut something else, or lose commercial revenue or whatever. So, now it's years later and Dave references the harmonica night performance and says "for all of us it was a very exciting night," which means "we were all pretty pissed at Dylan," who likely has no clue. Then here comes ol' Bobby:
My God... the comment section in that original video are all retarded... "great job" "handled the problem like real pros"... lol Uhh... a "real pro" would have the correct gear ready to go. What a gong show.
Todays wordle, took me all 6 tries, 3 green on the first line. No being stupide and using the same grey letter twice. Spoiler: wordle
That 10th anniversary clip was just embarrassing to watch. I can't imagine having to be on stage that night, smiling and pretending it's some great moment. And people just clap and cheer. Crazy.
