FTFY.

 

This seems an incredibly pedantic hill to die on. American is American.

Not pedantry, just in the cause of accuracy.

Rightly or wrongly, "American" is usually understood as pertaining to the United States of America.

Leonard Cohen was, as you are of course aware, Canadian.

Unless you are George Bush who always seemed to be talking about pubic wigs.

With Judy Dyble's death, Mr Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan is the sole 2020 DDP survivor whose surname begins "Dy".

Literally true, btw - he changed his name from Zimmerman to Dylan (not something many popstars with stage names have done) 

 

Elton Hercules John is another one who did it by deed poll. The Hercules part of the name being taken from the horse in the sit-com Steptoe and Son (seriously) 

 

I'm here off and on all afternoon -

Was thinking the same thing...

 

Greetings,

 

New to the group, first post. I discovered the forum last week following some link rabbit hole. Love the concept. Today I'm back because it was announced that Bob Dylan has sold his entire music catalog to Universal which makes me think he's getting his "affairs in order". He is 79.

 

Very shortly Universal will start selling access to the catalog and every commercial in America will have a Dylan score behind it. Ugh...

The Jehovah's Witnesses will get the rights to All Along the Watchtower within the week. I am now going to get on Ebay and wait for his Nobel prize to go on sale. Welcome to the group. Enjoy.

The idea of Dylan songs turning up in ads and lousy films is sickening, somehow. You can just see some twat remaking the "Subterranean Homesick Blues" clip.

Whatever anyone does with any Dylan song in the future won't be half as bad as what Guns N' Roses have already done.

[Toast 16,151]

I don't watch ads and lousy films, so it won't trouble me.

The pop business is the opposite of football financially. Footballing superstars of the 60s often died in poverty, whereas nowadays even someone who is nowhere near being in the top 100 footballers in the country can be a multimillionaire by 22. Whereas the early pop singers like Jagger, Dylan, Daltrey, McCartney etc are rolling in money, most current bands are operating on the breadline with no reliable source of income. It could also be because over that period the quality of football has improved a lot whereas the quality of pop has nosedived.

Yeah well, a lousy (acting performance by) Dylan and some of his lousiest songs have already appeared on screen. Trust me, even if you're a teenage DL poster, your life is still too short to endure this celluloid atrocity!

 

[Slackhurst Broadcasting 374]

I actually used to know someone who was in Hearts Of Fire, though only as an extra. I've seen it and didn't think it was that bad.

Sally Grossman, the widow of one-time Bob Dylan manager Albert Grossman and who appeared on the cover of Dylan's Bringing it All Back Home album, has died. She was 81.

Bob Dylan being sued over allegations of sexual abuse in the 1960s.

Heh, David Bowie got out just in the nick of time.

[JQW 283]

Hmm, he was touring the UK for two of the weeks of the period over which the abuse was supposed to have happened.

I’m sure you could substitute the names of half the UK/US 60s and 70s rockers here. Iggy, Wyman and Page are three of the more obvious ones but it seemed almost de rigeur to have a pubescent girlfriend/groupie in 1970. 

 

 

 

She takes just like a woman
Yes, she does, she makes love just like a woman
Yes, she does, and she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

In his defence he thought she was just like a woman

[ladyfiona 2,593]

I don't care for Bob Dylan's music but i'm leaving this here. It is going to be interesting about the end result of this. Maybe she got dates wrong but why wait 50+ years?
