Guest wizard Posted October 8, 2004 Could it be the that the conscience of a generation is about to die? Could his recently released chronicle be his last? Possible preparations to die? Could be. His ol' mate Johnny Cash graced the ranks of the 2003 deathlist, could Bobby's time finally be up?? The answer is blowing in the wind... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted October 8, 2004 Well unless you know something i don't, that's gotta be very unlikely - 63 years old, in fine health (as far as we know) and still touring like a trooper...in my opinion it ain't Bob knockin' at heaven's door any time soon 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted October 9, 2004 well you say that but you've got years of abuse to content with here. it not a straight forward 63. I reackon you've got to to add 50 percent for the lifestyle and in my opinion hes going out on the road, he be pissed off with himself if he didn't.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Arturo Bandini Posted March 3, 2005 What the f**k is this!? What are ya'll talkin' about!? He's human, he has a life, if he was part of your family, would you talk about him like this? Geeze, after everything he's done you speak 'bout him like he's a character in a soap opera... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddin 0 Posted March 4, 2005 I think he wont get very old... hard life.... but I hope he will be - and hope he'll bring out much more albums such as "time out of mind" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honez 79 Posted March 4, 2005 What the f**k is this!? This is DeathList a site where you can suggest who you think is likely to die fairly soon. What are ya'll talkin' about!? We're talking about Bob Dylan in this thread. Some people think he's going to die sooner rather than later. Some people don't agree; myself included. He's human Well spotted. Yes he is. he has a life Yes he does. If he didn't, he wouldn't warrant being discussed here. if he was part of your family, would you talk about him like this? Yes I would. Geeze I don't know if that was meant to be Geese or Jeez, either way it's wrong. after everything he's done you speak 'bout him like he's a character in a soap opera... That's exactly why we're talking about him. If he was a two-bit nobody then he'd hardly rate a mention, would he? Bob Smith from next door might be on his last legs, but if no-one's heard of him, there's no point in posting it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted April 1, 2005 Bob Dylan hasn't an ounce of talent. His voice is absolutely horrible and his lyrics are utterly childish. It amazes me that people see him as a legend. This is a guy who found a niche in the 60's and people have elevated him to legend status since. I mean, this guy couldn't get a job singing at a Holiday Inn based upon his talent if he were to start out today. Without a doubt, the least talented celebrity in the world. Another example of the mindless masses following along like sheep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bill K. Posted June 7, 2005 I wish I could say that I have the standing to comment on Bob Dylan (I can't). All I know is that the latter 20th century will truly be over when it's poet laureat -- Bob Dylan -- passes on. For my part, I hope he lives as long as he wants to.

VSBfromH 74 Posted June 7, 2005 For my part, I hope he lives as long as he wants to. I would like to echo those sentiments. Were he to die, the airwaves would no doubt be swamped by his whiney voice for weeks on end, which would be unbearable! Great songsmith - CAN'T BLOODY SING!!!

Bob Smith from next door might be on his last legs, but if no-one's heard of him, there's no point in posting it here. Perhaps he meant Gee whiz. No not "gee, Cheez Whiz.", just a simple "gee whiz." sort of along the lines of "gee whillickers", or "gee, gosh golly." Are you ever like me and wondering why they settled on Gee instead of Hee, or Lee? Apparently you've heard of Bob Smith~ come to think of it so have I. He used to be on that oh so charming television program Howdy Doody. What? You don't remembelate the great Buffalo Bob Smith? How about Princess Summerfall Winterspring? Bob Keeshan? The Peanut Gallery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His lyrics are powerful and has more meaning in it than the life itself. "Tambourine man", " Blowing in the wind", "Knocking on the heaven's doors", "i'll be your baby tonight" ,"I shall be released","lay lady lay" , "dirge "......etc are matchless creations...........he's truly lving legend.

Mr Tambourine Man - 1965 Blowin' In The Wind - 1963 Knockin' On Heaven's Door - 1973 I'll Be Your Baby Tonight - 1967 I Shall Be Released - 1971 Lay, Lady, Lay - 1969 Dirge - 1974 All I can say is that the songs you pick to illustrate your view seem more to support the Guest post that he found his niche in the 60's and has survived on it until now. Now, if you had used the more modern classics, such as The Times They Are A-Changin' -1964 Like A Rolling Stone - 1965 Just Like A Woman - 1966 All Along The Watchtower - 1967 we might have taken you more seriously (are you sure this list is right - Ed) Course, I will credit Desire as a great album, and one of GR's favourites as well.

Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 29, 2005 Course, I will credit Desire as a great album, and one of GR's favourites as well. Id have to add Hurricane to that list of Dylan classics too - it might have got a bit overplayed with that movie a couple of years back but still a classic in my book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted June 29, 2005 I have to say for those who don't think Bob Dylan is much of a living legend they must not know much about rock n roll. Dylan had many songs and many hits but even if you diden't enjoy any of his music he still was a major influence on the world of rock and roll. His song "Like A Rolling Stone" had a major influence being that it was mainly the first song in 1965 or whatever it was that was 6 minutes long. To tell the truth i really am not the biggest Bob Dylan fan but you should atleast give him somewhat respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunjaman5000 32 Posted June 30, 2005 I don't think he tries hard enough musically. He plays harmonica and guitar alright but he doesn't seem to realise there's room for cymbals between his knees and a bass drum on his back. He's only ever reached half his potential.

Cerberus 304 Posted June 30, 2005 Fans of His Bobness might be able to help me with this. I heard a Dylan song on the radio at work recently. It's a long, slow song possibly from Slow Train Coming or somewhere around that time. The chorus goes "Somethin' is happening and you don't know what it is" Any ideas?

Not being a fan, I may be wrong, but it sounds like 'Ballad of A Thin Man' from Highway '61 Revisted. A little extract... You walk into the room With your pencil in your hand You see somebody naked And you say, "Who is that man?" You try so hard But you don't understand Just what you'll say When you get home Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones? You raise up your head And you ask, "Is this where it is?" And somebody points to you and says "It's his" And you say, "What's mine?" And somebody else says, "Where what is?" And you say, "Oh my God Am I here all alone?" Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones? and on and on and on ......
