Thread Name: Some harsh words for Dylan
Subject: RE: BS: Some harsh words for Dylan
This article is somebody venting their political rhetoric, I agree with some of it - but it's just a bash on anything & everything that's in the papers as of late. As far as Bob Dylan, his image & fans have made him an "icon" of the ideals of the sixties. Anyone would have a hard time living up to the expectations of that kind of a title. I think he is a great songwriter who can reflect the political climate in his music. He does have that gift & it can't be taken from him. I am not a blind fan of Bob Dylan - in fact don't care for his live preformances or his "unique" singing style. All in all, Bob Dylan is a larger than life character & an easy target to pick on, but I don't think he deserves a lot of the things that are said about him.
