‘my high school bandmates’

Tony lives in my area and has played at my venue. He is a nice guy. He loved my wife’s ramen we serve there.

Dylan’s tune is a stark tune for stark times. A funeral dirge for a lost America.

Downloaded it in a heartbeat. 17 minutes later, and the tears are rolling.

Reese, Bob Dylan hasn't told anyone how to live since 1980.

Somber tune one of my high school bandmates has been with BD since '89 longer than any other musician a lifetime gig. They're supposed to tour US in June but it may be cancelled.

The first four lines of this "poetry" are so cringeworthy I immediately stopped listening.

Ditto. It sounds like the dirge of a dotage. I am a huge fan up to "Blonde on Blonde" after which my enthusiasm gradually declined. The painful truth is that apart from a few individual tracks "His Bobness" jumped the shark decades ago. Quoting from "Shakespeare" (Sir Henry Neville?) with "Murder Most Foul" may be a worrying sign that the Nobel has gone to Bob's head. Sic transit gloria.

You're welcome, son!

Joseph Joubert (a long-dead French "boomer") nailed it:

"Ask the young. They know everything".

In the same spirit, "Boomer" Bob also once famously sang: "Oh, I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." So true: today I'm now hipper than the kids I know.

@inkjet nice - we met when he was 15 I was 18 played in El Camino stage band and little combos in S. Calif. I hope your guys being outside of major city are safer than us in Tokyo we a locked down at home.

Please retire Mr Dylan. You inspire only a few people.

Agree. He's just another liberal celebrity living behind a wall with security and flying in a private jet telling all of us how we should live our lives and how miserable we should feel.

Who cares about Bob Dylan in these uncertain times?What people would like to hear is for these singers and celebrities to donate,donate, and donate towards a Coronavirus fund or charity. Remember that these people have MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in their bank accounts. It is all about greed and fame. Please retire Mr Dylan. You inspire only a few people.
