Making money from art is not vulgar. Art is a commodity. It makes people feel something. It raises the greater sum of human happiness. It increases the gaiety of the nation. It has a value. -John Allison

Infidels is a good album.  Love and Theft is a good album.

Haven't listened to the new one yet.

so far: highway 61 revisited, bringing it all back home, freewheelin', self-titled first one.

I like some of it very much, but what I have heard of Blonde on Blonde hasn't done a lot for me. I think I need to do this thing chronologically.

But Blonde on Blonde is the best one. Listen to Visions of Johanna 35 times and get back to us.

and the rest of his pre-electric folk albums are hit or miss.

That is interesting to me.  Weird, I guess.

I like Highway 61 about twice as much as Blonde on Blonde.

At one point I liked Highway 61 better, then judged them as equal, and now prefer Blonde on Blonde.

Not to stay too on topic, Sunrise (1927) is one of my favorite movies ever, and I think it's still available on DVD.

Modern Times is a fantastic album.  Coincidentally Modern Times is a fantastic silent movie.

Listening to people talk about what Bob Dylan is better is like listening to people talk about which is better, eating a dog turd in a waffle cone or in a sandwich.

Dammit, these are both terrible things and should be avoided whenever possible.

Not which is WORSE and so the other is slightly less bad but... BETTER. I mean, googlemoogles.

I just figured it out.  You moved to L.A. to be closer to Axl Rose.

Well, to be fair, the man's name is an anagram for "oral sex".  Who wouldn't want to be close to that?

Whereas THE FACT THAT PEOPLE LIKE THINGS I HATE FILLS ME WITH PIIITYYYY.

This is what happens when you don't have nothing useful to contribute to a thread and still want to pipe the fuck in.

I am all for taking as good as I give but... man... calling me out for liking Guns N Roses in response for ragging on Bob Dylan just ain't enough.

The fact that I like a fun weird over-the-top rock act from my youth just ain't enough ammo to shoot me down for NOT liking a dude who has basically crafted all his material specifically to impress the college sophomores of whatever given age he was in at the time, sort of the Woody Allen of popular music, going to the local university, perusing the 201 textbooks of the liberal arts department and... poop... out comes "Annie Hall" or whatever.

I mean, I am an easy target in a lot of ways but... man... knocking me for digging music that channels my inner angry 13 year old ain't the way to go about it.

I think you're basically full of shit here, but even if it's true it's better than being a dude who crafted all his material for high school sophomores.

Only thing worse would be Gene Simmons who crafted his material for 6th graders.
