All I hear when I listen to Dylan is that voice. His son has it specified in his contract that no one who works back stage at any show is allowed to refer to him as Bob Dylan's son, nor are they allowed to ask him any questions about him. Wouldn't ya think that would draw more attention to it? You don't see Sean or Julian Lennon demanding that no one refer to their dear old dad. But that's probably because they both suck and no one pays attention to them anyway. If John Lennon heard some of the music out today, he'd roll over in his grave and puke...and Yoko would scoop it up and sell it on eBay.

John Lennon is hardly as cool or as amazing as Bob Dylan.


Dylan has been doing what he does best for 40 years straight. Since he was 20 years old. 45 albums and countless touring. He has an extensive body of work that only keeps growing and getting better and better. And don't even tell me that Lennon would have done the same had he not been blown away. Back in 1965 when Dylan, McCartney and Lennon where all hanging out together in a flat they played Revolver for Dylan and he was like "Okay, that's pretty cool." Then Dylan put on Blonde On Blonde and they (McCartney and Lennon) were so amazed they just stood there shocked and said: "We can't beat that."
Fact.


As for the Cool Guy Fly By dude, this is probably what Dylan would say to you:

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?

You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel
To be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible"
As he hands you a bone

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations

You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
It's well known

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should be made
To wear earphones

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?


Ballad Of A Thin Man, 1965

You think I have time to read all dat shit? Why don't you make your own points instead of invoking Dylan tripe.

Anyway, first of all, you are wrong.
Second of all, you're wrong.

Thank God for Lennon and McCartney. Without them, the last few generations wouldn't know good popular music.
OPINION. It's my opinion though, and that's as good as FACT.

Your facts are just like baseless opinions.

Ha Ha I am better than you are. FACT.

There are only two good things that ever came out of the UK: The Beatles and the United States.

God Bless America. F-- all dirty Wankers.

Dylan doesn't even comb his hair. How can he be cool? The Beatles are the best rock band in history. Dylan mumbles about how people need to be high. Do you think for yourself or do you only quote Dylan lyrics? You can train someone with autism to memorize lyrics and recite them.
