Bob Dylan

Isn't that weird Emil? To love someone for their music which is essentially their words and their thoughts and who they are and then be repulsed by their personality and their words outside of music. I don't know. I suppose that is what puts him at a cut above everyone else. He is magnetic in other ways and he knows how to play us... not that I like being played much! Oh and the analysis of Love And Theft is a piss take of people who read too much into his lyrics politically.

And yes, I agree with you that Joan Baez is awesome awesome. A real inspiration. I think he treated her so badly because she is such a good person. Good people often bring out the sadist in people who have a mean edge.

Anyway I posted this in another thread but I am obsessed with it so will post it here too. It's from Renaldo and Clara.



We need more in this thread people!

^^It totally is and i am sure a lot of people would think we are just two crazy b*tches,because lets be honest he is a musician and his music is all we can demand.But i am intrigued in mind behind the voice and lyrics.When someone is that good you always want,seek more!
And OMG you are so right,he definetly masters at playing us and like you said specially since we dont want to be played.
Oh and yes the way he treated Joan Baez was just shameful,i think he was a bit of a sadist towards all his women!
Thanks for posting that performance ,its just brilliant.
I have goose bumps after i saw it and very little musicians have that affect on me.
I love that whole song but this verse really touches me,dont know why?!

"Your daddy he’s an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He’ll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade.
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food."
