Thread Name: Bob Dylan - Lifted Lyrics?
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan - Lifted Lyrics?
I may not be one of the insiders and "knowledgeable" people on Mudcat, but I have like and listened and loved Folk Music most of my adult life.....Heard Dylan at the Club 47 in Cambridge in the early 60's. I believed then as I do now that He was and is a major influence in our music and culture. How do you know he has never denied borrowing line. I happened to know he has denied it, on several occasions......I'm sorry but I cannot forgive Dylan for "borrowing" words & music without giving due credit.......His status in the music world does not exemnpt him from this.......Just because of his importance in the music world (folk)...Does that mean we must not criticize his actions....Come on. Bob...fess up..."Who's Gonna Feed Your Chickens When Im Gone?" Was that the beginning of it all?   Frank of Toledo
