Talking about being shocked at the manslaughter of Mr. Floyd from his Malibu home says it all

Why ? Dylan has never seen himself as a protest singer and dropped out of politics sixty years ago. It reminds me of the Phil Ochs documentary There but a fortune in which he wouldn't talk about their relationship despite repeat requests by the film's makers. I'm sure it would have been nothing but carefully crafted complements but he would still have come off looking like the bad guy.

Play some Dylan most days when I'm in my studio painting.

Sounds like a great way to spend a day!

Whilst Dylan could not sustain the level of adulation he sustained in the early years of his career (how could he?). He has never gone away and he has released some excellent records throught the 6 decades he has been active. His lifetime output is pretty staggering and he remains an icon of popular music. Many of you here are displaying your ignorance.

Some performers just don't know when to hang up their cleats!

When should they do that? I’d say nobody going to their concerts or buying their records could be a sign. That’s not happening with Dylan.

Looks like his ‘social protest image’ isn’t one that appeals to many posters here. Not good marketing. Maybe he should start singing about Jesus again.

you realize that these musicians and celebrities NEVER donate a single cent

What is going on here? Is it post demonstrably false stuff day.

"Legendary"?? Who made this decision? Agree with Hawkeye...More cash during retirement and more money in your bank account. The trigger is always MONEY and GREED. Look at the state of the world today and you realize that these musicians and celebrities NEVER donate a single cent.

I am in the music business and have been to many of his concerts

Are you sure? Where did you get ‘all nostalgia’ from? Did he play his old tracks only at the concerts you went to? It didn’t seem to be his habit in the concerts I went to although I think some would have liked ‘all nostalgia’.

Whoopee!!

How so? It is not like he plays a lot of his older songs. Perhaps if you actually went to one of his concerts, you would think differently.

I am in the music business and have been to many of his concerts. My opinion has not changed.

Going to a Bob Dillion concert is like going to a ventures show. All nostalgia,

I went to one in Tokyo a few years back. He played a lot of tracks from his Tempest album. I think he did maybe two of his older tracks.

About 10% nostalgia if you the maths.

@Hawkeye

Dylan didn’t disappear after the 70s. He released award-winning albums in the decades after the 70s.

Why do people post demonstrably incorrect things like this?

Looks like he needs some end of life cash. Great lyricist and cultural icon from the 60's and 70's but disappeared after that period. Grab some cash and go back to your house in Mexico.

Going to a Bob Dillion concert is like going to a ventures show. All nostalgia, he is not a contemporary anymore.
