 | | Open Defence: <Bill> you remind me of the Chess Knight in Harry Potter.... |
|
| Jun-24-07 | | WBP: <Jess> <<Bill> no of course not! I was trying to get you in trouble...> Thanks! I'll fix your little wagon, young lady! And actually, <Bob Dylan's behind> (which is, of course, what I wrote--and what you no doubt were trying to draw attenbtion to) is totally innocent in that context. So there! |

On this patch of sand
And watch the river flow...">
or <"And here I sit so perfectly
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to keep from
Going through all these things twice."> |

| | Domdaniel: Both misquotes, but what the Hull. |
|
| Jun-24-07 | | WBP: <Dom> <Both misquotes, but what the Hull.> Crud! And I just went to the trouble of memorizing them! |
|
Jun-24-07
| | Domdaniel: <Bill> Doesn't matter if you accidentally misquote Dylan. Just adopt a superior air - I'm confident you can do that, if you try - and say "Oh, haven't you heard the 1973 Cabbage Patch Tapes bootleg version... much more authentic and visceral..." Cow them, I say. |

I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue
If not for glue..."
The paste that passeth understanding? |

I actually know somebody who has a thirteen-disc set of everything Dylan recorded in 1962 and 1963, *excluding* the properly released albums and live bootlegs. God knows what's actually on the blasted things; probably just Bob laughing at himself and saying 'start again, start again...' Plus a special abridged version of Desolation Row that's only three hundred months long. * Somebody had to say it sooner rather than later. Do I lose five points? |

| | Domdaniel: <more chessic dylanology... 'Bobby' to the tune of 'Joey'...> <Born in Brooklyn chess club
Forty-two or maybe forty-three
He opened up his eyes
To the sound of 'Nf3'....
Beat up in Pasadena
But he never named a single pawn
He came out feeling meaner
And he turned from brains to brawn
They let him out in '78
He'd grown a big red beard
But he dressed like Charlie Manson
And he looked at least as weird
Bobby, Bobby
You coulda been Superjew
Bobby, Bobby
What made you say the things you do?>

| | Domdaniel: <mack> No, no, just go and stand in the wisteria. It's like a cafeteria, only wistful. |
|

| | Open Defence: hehehehe awesome... you could also write something similar to John Mayor's "So long Jimi" |
|
| Jun-24-07 | | mack: Ah yes, 'Joey', one of the biggest heaps of @#$%e Dylan ever recorded. Far too long, melodyless and, above all, completely wrong... wasn't Joey later proven to be a massive crook? 'He saw them coming through the door as he lifted his fork...' Yuck. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Not to mention, <Hurricane Carter> was GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY. <Bob's> not really a <criminologist>, per se... |
|
Jun-24-07
| | Domdaniel: <Hurricane Carter> may not have been a great President, but just look at all the good work he's done since then... |
|
Jun-24-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: LOLOLOL poor old <Jimmy> He was like a great ball of <cotton batton> as a Prez. I blame <Congress>. Stupid Republicans |

<"The mob, they sent a guy to get ye...They hadda scrape you outta the spaghetti
Joey...">
Anyway, if Warhol could paint portraits of rich crooks, why shouldn't Dylan rhapsodize 'em in song? <"A bullet from the back of a Bush..."> |
|
| Jun-24-07 | | mack: <Not to mention, <Hurricane Carter> was GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY.> Racist.
Dunno about Carter... wasn't he cleared in the end? The fact I don't like about Hurricane, aside from it being the unwelcome return of the protest song, is that it pretty much pisses all over his moral stance in 'Who Killed Davey Moore?' For far less valid reasons for not liking 'Hurricane' see http://www.graphicwitness.com/carte.... Graphicwitness.com - the site that hasn't heard of artistic licence. The best version of 'Davey Moore' recorded is this, which I insist you all watch: http://youtube.com/watch?v=UWYhB2PW... R. Stevie is up there with the best. |

<"The mob, they sent a guy to get ye...They hadda scrape you outta the spaghetti

Looks like we're in Dylan circles again. This wheel's on fire... I've nothing against painting scum - but don't give 'em hearts if they're not there. |

Welcome to <Malden>, "Gateway to Industry" |

Did this place ever make sense?

| | Domdaniel: <What drives me to you is what drives me insane...> Isn't that "Isis"? Bleedin' Oxbridge types trying to run the show again... Was it Neil Innes, or some Python type, or somebody else entirely, that said "This is a protest song -- I've suffered for my music and now it's your turn..."...? |
|

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> Dear oh dear. You said <HOWLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! > to <mack>. I understand that it was meant as an atmospheric effect, but things like that set off his Ginsberg Complex. Best minds of his generation, coming up... starving, hysterical, naked... That reminds me. I tried watching 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' on DVD last night. Johnny Depp, directed by Terry Gilliam, how could it fail? It failed. Worst thing any of 'em have ever done. Halfway thru I gave up, put on the soundtrack music by Dylan and Grace Slick, and started reading Hunter S Thompson instead. A much purer hit. Reminds me of what William Burroughs said about Panama: "The drugs are cut... everything here is cut... even the whores are cut with foam rubber..." |
