Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 13 Oct 01 - 10:19 PM Ah...didn't know that. Go Bob! - LH |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: GUEST,Dabone Date: 05 Oct 01 - 11:58 AM Well, he does says "booty call" on Cry A While from the new album. The King of Rock!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 05 Oct 01 - 12:37 AM Well, it appears that there are no Dylan songs with "booty" in them. This is sort of a relief, actually. :-) I'm still surprised that the word "flagrant" doesn't show up anywhere in his catalog, though. - LH |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 05 Oct 01 - 12:33 AM Hang on... |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: GUEST,dABONE Date: 05 Oct 01 - 12:23 AM Yo Hawk, in how many songs does Dylan use the word "booty"? |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Oct 01 - 11:29 PM Hmmm...nope. Million Dollar Bash is the ONLY Dylan song listed with the word "cheese" in it. Not only that, there is not one single Dylan song on record with either the word "flagrant" or the word "dubious" in it. I know. I've looked. This is not good. I am gonna contact Bob and make sure he does something about it ASAP. :-) - LH |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Oct 01 - 11:24 PM In Orillia, it's everything with cheese. Cheese cheesies with three cheese toppings. I kid you not. I swear, this town must be in hock to the dairy industry or something. It's a sickness. Has Dylan written anything with the word "cheese" in it? Hey, yeah, in "Million Dollar Bash"..."Turtle, that friend of theirs with his checks all forged, and his cheeks in a chunk, and his cheese in the cash...they're all gonna be there at that Million Dollar Bash" Wow. Ooooo-wee! Gotta go check out Bobdylan.com for more! - LH |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: catspaw49 Date: 04 Oct 01 - 11:08 PM Hell Hawk, I had so many their and there there that their "their" that was there just slipped through there as they're apt to do if you let yourself go there. BTW, a Spears burger at McD's would be a McBoob....goes along with their McCluck, McMoo, McOink, McCarp and of course the Double Plotcher with cheese. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Oct 01 - 10:39 PM Ummm... Great analysis, Spaw. LOL! Look, I meant "lasting value" in a positive sense, okay? Geez. McDonalds hamburgers and Britney Spears...what a combo. Have a Britney-Burger! To go. And then there's Madonna..."22 billion served"...I tell ya, it's some kind of a plot. America conquers the world with junk food and sex. Ouch. I have similar experiences with donuts from "your guys" which you have now foisted off on us. Their coffee is hotter than McDonalds even!!! And do they keep all the filling up their in Canada? I mean there sure as hell ain't any in them down here!! I don't quite follow you on that. What do you mean "all the filling up their in Canada"??? Up their what? Filling? Do you mean iron filings? Are they putting iron filings in our donuts now? This would be a good way to make use of the worn bits off hockey skates, so I'm all for it, as long as its Americans that get to eat the stuff, and they don't sell it up here! The typical Tim Hortons donut is indeed a product in which Canada can take pride...the cops in Toronto recently rated it the WORST all round donut in 7 different donut shop chains!!! Man, was Tim Hortons ever ticked off at them! They stopped giving them complementary coffees. Now that you mention it, Tim Hortons coffee makes great paint remover, specially when it's hot, but it's damned hard to clean up the mess afterward, that's the only trouble, specially if you put in creamer. - LH |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: catspaw49 Date: 04 Oct 01 - 10:15 PM HAWK!!!!How dare you say that a McDonald's Hamburger has no lasting value? Man, I've had nausea for hours after eating one and the nether breath produced is simply amazing in it's lingering qualities. Floating a Big Mac Air Biscuit has been known to sterilize frogs within 150 yards! Whatever they use that they are passing off as meat is chemically altered to produce indigestion and farts that will knock a buzzard off a shitwagon. The only time I have ever been known to have a Big Mac Attack is about 20 minutes after I eat one. I have similar experiences with donuts from "your guys" which you have now foisted off on us. Their coffee is hotter than McDonalds even!!! And do they keep all the filling up their in Canada? I mean there sure as hell ain't any in them down here!! As for Bob......King of Rock? NFW....but I still love him. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Beer Date: 04 Oct 01 - 09:56 PM No he is not the King of Rock, but a lover of Dylan I can't help but say that my favoriate rock album is his Budhkan double al.p. |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Oct 01 - 08:44 PM Hey, to compare Bob Dylan with Britney Spears is like comparing Shakespeare with Alfred E. Neumann or Charlie Chaplin with the Three Stooges! Gimme a break!
"Praise Bob from whom all blessings flow
Bob be with you till we meet again Eh, Alex? Hee! Hee! - LH |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: mousethief Date: 04 Oct 01 - 03:59 PM And somebody in the deep water, about halfway down, with their feet in a bucket of quick-dry cement. Dylan, Dylan we adore thee.... |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Oct 01 - 03:07 PM Oh, Madonna and Britney Spears have a lot of impact all right...and so do McDonalds hamburgers...but on WHAT??? Nothing much of any lasting value, that's for sure! There's a difference between deep water, and the foamy bubbles that float around on the top of it. - LH |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Jack the Sailor Date: 04 Oct 01 - 02:43 PM I'm glad that some younger people are listening to his stuff rather than that other stuff. Give me Bob over Kid Rock and Korn any day. But I don't think he has the effect on society he once had or even the influence those musicians currently have. I always liked Bob's music. But there is a lot of stuff I like more. Currently, Dave Matthews, Billy Bragg, Sheryl Crow, and Bare Naked Ladies. All of these have at least as much to say as Mr. Dylan does. But then my favourite quote about music, which I live by to this day, comes from a Rolling Stones Song. I know, Its only Rock and Roll but I like it! |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Steve Latimer Date: 04 Oct 01 - 01:53 PM Jack, Although I agree to a large extent, I think it's pretty obvious that Bob is once again influencing young people. I don't like to stereotype, but I'd guess that the first few posts to this thread were from people under 25. I have talked to a number of people from their generation who are just discovering Bob. Although I don't think that we'll convert many Brittany Spears fans. Let's just hope he keeps putting out material as strong as his last few albums. He'll influence many more. |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Jack the Sailor Date: 04 Oct 01 - 01:44 PM I Think Mr. Dylans direct impact on society abated to next to nothing some time in the late 70's. madonna and Britney Spears have a hundred times more impact today. But not for the good of society I fear. |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: GUEST,Mr. Dabone Date: 04 Oct 01 - 01:35 PM Wow, I'm glad to see the thread has illicited some passionate responses. A pleasant surprise! I threw the thread out there because of my over-the-top admiration for Dylan. I was most impressed by Little Hawk's summation of the Dylan phenomena, particularly this passage: "There's a lot more happening here than a mere pop idol phenomenon. The best songwriters are among the important philosophers of their time, and there's not one other alive who can match Bob Dylan in that sort of impact on society at present". You took the words right out of my mouth, brother! |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Jack the Sailor Date: 04 Oct 01 - 12:36 PM It started getting silly when someone said that Dylan is the King of Rock. Pretty early in the process as I recall.... ;) |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Big Tim Date: 04 Oct 01 - 01:52 AM Ouch! Still - interesting to hear your opinion Bert. However for us BD fans the voice is a major part of the attraction and the fascination. |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Bert Date: 03 Oct 01 - 07:58 PM Bob Dylan, a songwriter whose great songs were spoiled by a forced, whiny presentation. |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Big Tim Date: 03 Oct 01 - 05:31 PM It is indeed getting too silly! |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: mousethief Date: 03 Oct 01 - 03:32 PM Thank you. Thank you very much. |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 03 Oct 01 - 03:17 PM LOL!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Jack the Sailor Date: 03 Oct 01 - 02:43 PM Its obvious isn't it? Mousethief is the King of Rock |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 03 Oct 01 - 02:37 PM Nice to see that Bob can still amuse people! He was hilarious back in the early days, so they say. Kind of like Charlie Chaplin, the little tramp thing. I just don't know who is more popular with our GUESTS...Dylan or Mousethief. - LH |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Big Tim Date: 03 Oct 01 - 01:41 PM Looking for a new fool? This is getting all rather too silly. Maybe Mousethief is right, Dylan is a religion. As I said on a previous Dylan thread I used to have a t-shirt "Dylan for God". Maybe LH is right, we just LOVE the man. When all is said and all is done it's all just a matter of taste. |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: GUEST,The girl by the whirlpool Date: 03 Oct 01 - 12:27 PM It's because mousethief really does want to make as many threads as possible be about himself. Is there anything about Bob Dylan that mousethief has said in this thread that he hasn't said about Bob Dylan in many other threads? No. I thought not. |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: mousethief Date: 03 Oct 01 - 12:03 PM Sheer boredom? |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Steve Latimer Date: 03 Oct 01 - 10:35 AM Mousethief, Why do you bother to rise to this bait? |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: mousethief Date: 03 Oct 01 - 10:29 AM oh yeah like i started that |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: GUEST,The girl by the whirlpool Date: 03 Oct 01 - 09:54 AM I love the way that mousethief has a knack for making various threads be about him. |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: GUEST Date: 03 Oct 01 - 02:21 AM He wrote some really good songs, once upon a time, but IMHO Bob Dylan is the music world's variation on "The Emperor's New Clothes." |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: bob jr Date: 02 Oct 01 - 11:30 PM i almost always preferred bobs country and folk stuff to his "rock period" i mean highway 61 is one of my least favorite 60's albums cause its too wordy and no damn melodies (except rolling stone and just like tom thumbs) every song off that album that i have heard live is better (highway 61 with the band at isle of wight takes a train to cry bangladesh etc) but king of rock ? ah who cares bob is bob labels are stupid and if you dont like the man you are missing out on some great music but hell that aint no crime . |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Oct 01 - 07:49 PM Well, yeah...to the uninitiated. :-) - LH |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: mousethief Date: 02 Oct 01 - 05:51 PM Posting separate material separately. How do you get to be King of Rock? Does one pull a stratocaster from a stone? (effeminate masculine voice in heavy British accent, with shit all over) : I didn't vote for 'im. We defend Bob because we downright LOVE the man, and he has become in a way a part of each one of us...so it comes down to defending one's own identity which is a basic instinct in all people. You must admit that to the uninitiate, it looks more like a religion than a fan club. Alex |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: mousethief Date: 02 Oct 01 - 05:48 PM I didn't realize I started it either. Presumably while sleep-typing? Or is this one of those automatic-writing sorts of things? And during a period in which I was internet-free, too. Sometimes I amaze even myself! And I suppose I imagined getting the email from a regular 'Catter saying "Did you know there was a 'where is mousethief?' thread on Mudcat?" Except that email is still in my archives at yahoo.com. Hmmm. Hard to explain that one away. More likely some people in their hatred and bitterness must fabricate when the real facts don't match their curdled fancy. 'Slife. Alex |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Steve Latimer Date: 02 Oct 01 - 04:46 PM Jack The Sailor, Well I didn't vote for 'im. Good point about the compliment. |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Jack the Sailor Date: 02 Oct 01 - 04:40 PM How do you get to be King of Rock? Does one pull a stratocaster from a stone? Bob is Bob. Why belittle his greatness by calling him something as trite as "The King of Rock"? Obviously calling a man Bob Dylan is the highest compliment which can be paid. Nuff said? |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Oct 01 - 04:34 PM GUEST - Lily, Rosemary, etc... Okay, which one of the 3 are you? I am astounded. I had no idea Mousethief started that thread. Do you have any other vital information to pass on? - LH |
|
Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Oct 01 - 04:23 PM Alex - You have to be a serious Dylan fan to understand the gut reaction that occurs when what is seen as uninformed or uncomprehending comments are made about the man. This springs partly out of the fact that Dylan has had more of an effect on his fans than merely entertaining them. He has had a huge influence on many people's philosophy of life on almost every level. This is partly due to the fact that his songs have delved into wider areas of thought than is generally true in pop music. He writes more serious stuff than most songwriters do, and it tends not to become dated, which most pop music quickly does. His voice: The fact is, that whatever you think of his voice it is the perfect vehicle for communicating his songs...and that's immediately clear to a Dylan fan...but explaining it to someone who is not a Dylan fan is pretty much a futile endeavour. One gets tired of hearing criticism from people who are reacting to form while probably missing content...specially when the form suits the content to a "T". People react viscerally to criticism of Bob, simply because he means so much to them and he made such an enormous difference in their lives. If he didn't, of course, it all seems silly I suppose. But you could say that about anthing...politics, religion, philosophy, sex, money, whatever. Take your pick. It's either meaningful to you or it isn't and there ain't a damn thing anyone else can do about it. We defend Bob because we downright LOVE the man, and he has become in a way a part of each one of us...so it comes down to defending one's own identity which is a basic instinct in all people. There's a lot more happening here than a mere pop idol phenomenon. The best songwriters are among the important philosophers of their time, and there's not one other alive who can match Bob Dylan in that sort of impact on society at present. - LH p.s. I'm not suggesting that you are either uninformed or necessarily uncomprehending...I'm just talking generally about Dylan and his fans and his detractors. |

Subject: RE: Bob Dylan is the King Of Rock From: GUEST,Lily, Rosemary & the Jack of Hearts Date: 02 Oct 01 - 04:00 PM Mousethief, Do you honestly think there's anybody who doesn't know that you're the "Guest" who started the "Where's Mousethief" thread? |
