Dylan On Slavery
« on: September 12, 2012, 12:59:04 PM »
His last quote is the only one I agree with. copypasta Foxnews.com

Bob Dylan says the stigma of slavery ruined America and he doubts the country can get rid of the shame because it was "founded on the backs of slaves."
 
The veteran musician tells Rolling Stone that in America "people (are) at each other's throats just because they are of a different color," adding that "it will hold any nation back." He also says blacks know that some whites "didn't want to give up slavery."
 
The 71-year-old Dylan said, "If slavery had been given up in a more peaceful way, America would be far ahead today."
 
When asked if President Barack Obama was helping to shift a change, Dylan says: "I don't have any opinion on that. You have to change your heart if you want to change."
 
The magazine's new issue hits newsstands Friday.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I'm not.  Why would I be the anomaly?

He's another outsider from the Greenwich Village looking at an issue he knows nothing about. He just repeats the same old tired line on slavery. And can I ask why this is relevant now? Yes, slavery = bad. We know. We get it. The southern US is everything bad about the world ever. Got it Bob. Whats your point? I would say he needs to stick to music but ive never thought much of him in that realm either.

Thank you.  My stomach cramps up every time he starts singing.

I'll get flogged for it by hippies, but he is the most overrated musician of all time (with Nirvana being 2nd). I'm dead serious.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

I have always said that his greatest contribution to music was letting Hendrix record "All Along The Watch Tower".   He could write a song, but he needed to let others sing.  Nirvana wasn't bad.  Dave Grohl is a great musician.  Kobain was a decent song writer and guitar player, but not what he is made out to be now days.  Once he off'ed himself, they got all sorts of praises they weren't getting before hand.  It was good solid music, it was never OMFG!  THIS IS THE BEST SHIT EVER! FUCKIN'A THIS MAKES ME CONTEMPLATE THE MEANING OF LIFE! It was never that.  This coming from someone who was a Nirvan fan back when Kurt was still alive.

For the record, I am a Nirvana fan. But I find them terribly overhyped. I thought Alice in Chains and STP had better sounds. Pearl Jam has a better entire body of work. Grohl has proven with his success with Foo Fighters that Nirvana may have been more him than anyone realized at the time. Neither are "awful", just overrated.

They didn't get that way until the suicide or at least it doesn't seem to be that way.  Hell yes AIC, STP and Pearl Jam were better.  Still three of my favorite bands.    I think AIC unplugged was genius and possibly one of the better albums I have listend to, just a tier below Live at Filmore East for me.  Pearl Jam "Live at Austin City Limit's" was outstanding as well.

Agree....even if I still can't understand a word of what Eddie Vedder is saying. Didn't stop Springsteen either  :thumsup:

You mean you don't know what the lyrics to Yellow Ledbetter are?

Speaking of which, some of the music on PBS is the only thing on there worth watching.  Austin City Limits has been bad ass since the beginning and finding the albums is impossible other than a few singles form iTunes or soemthing and I hate the fact that I can't buy the DVD's and can only watch them by going to the PBS web site.  Some of the best performances by artist I have ever seen on that show.

EDIT: And you can't even watch all the performances on the site, just the ones they have up and sometimes rotate them out.   Fuckers!  :taz:
