Bob Dylan is a pioneer and a legend, a deserving R&R HOF'er and idol and inspiration to millions.
And *I* don't even like the guy's music.

Dude, just know that anytime you dare to have a different opinion about anything like this people here on DVDTALK will come after you with torches. They can't handle different opinions when it comes to stuff like this. You're supposed to just follow the popular opinion and shut the fuck up no matter what you may personally think.

What exactly is opportunistic about a 65 year old songwriter releasing albums of songs in blues and swing styles in 2006? And what makes him a hack?

You can feel free to hold what opinions you have of him, even if Dylan himself has purposefully talked against them. You think the crowds came running after him when he went dogmatically Christian? I don't think so.

uwftke26, if you're "too dense" to fall in line with the forum protocols as to how you address and interact with fellow members you might as well take a short posting holiday. Ordinarily I prefer to allow a few warnings before a suspension but this time I'm not going to bother.
While you're away, please take a look at the forum rules sent to you when you joined up less than a month ago and the sticky thread atop this forum.

Please provide the research statistics you used to state that "most hardcore Dylan fans haven't read his autobiography". Oh he's gone. Forget it.
By the way Giantorbo, I inhabit your city.

I am trying to word this correctly, lest I get banned, but some of you have a lot of growing up to do. I get banned based on suggesting that someone is "too dense" to understand my point, when cungar saying I "spew idiotic bile" is apparently just fine. Either I was singled out for some reason, or this forum, like so many others, is simply a good 'ol boys network that has only the pretense of uniformly-enforced rules.
Again, I am trying to keep my comments mild here, lest I be suspended. But the moderator, who I presumed would have a measured, even tone in these things, instead chooses to mock me for being here less than month. I presume that he declined to note the many posts, on a wide variety of topics, that I have been involved in, or the fact that I have already made a successful sale from an established member.
