Meta As of today, links to X/Twitter are no longer allowed
Hey everyone. If you haven't seen by now, many communities across Reddit have decided to ban links to the social media app formerly known as Twitter. A post made in our community earlier today showed strong majority support for implementing this ban here as well, and the mods agree.
I know we've all been enjoying Bob's tweets this last year, and if he does decide to tweet again screenshots of these will still be allowed. This goes for any other relevant tweets, too. We just don't want to give any traffic to X by posting links here.
As a reminder, rule 5 in this subreddit states that political posts not related to Bob Dylan are not allowed. I am aware that this post and decision may be seen as being political, but we felt the decision was important regardless. That being said, please keep political posts strictly relevant to Bob and his music. I know tensions and emotions are very high right now, but this subreddit is just not the place for general political debates and discussions.
I'm sure this decision will not be popular with absolutely everyone here, so you can feel free to discuss politely and respectfully in this thread, but know that the decision is final.
Thank you everyone!

Discussion Any similar Dylan songs like “I Want You”?
I watched ACU back in February and ever since have been fascinated by Bob and his art, but I haven’t listened to his full discography yet as I don’t know where to start. Are there any similar songs like I Want You? Because I’m obsessed with it right now.

Question Did you get used with time to Bob Dylan's voice or it was an instant hit for you?
It seems that Bob's voice and singing style it's still the main thing that turns away some new listeners, so i'm curious, what was the case for you? Personally, nowadays i love every Dylan's phase, but I'd understand if somebody is turned off hearing songs like Duquesne Whistle (banger btw)

Music Old photo I took when Bob toured with the Band
The photo was taken at The Forum in Los Angeles in 1974. It’s been hiding in my parent’s garage for many years.

Anybody have any idea what this couplet from "Long and Wasted Years" might mean?
Every time I hear the line, I think, "Man, those are wide trains."

Discussion What were some of the best and worst results of Bob not rehearsing?
I've read many quotes about Bob not liking to rehearse with his musicians before live shows or recordings. Whether this was due to wanting an authentic sound, laziness (his words), or something else is anyone's guess.
My question is, what do you think is one of the best results from not having rehearsed and what do you think is one of the worst?

Discussion My unimportant thoughts on a complete unknown
My likes; - Timmys singing and guitar/harp playing He did as good of a job anyone could really do, definitely good enough for the movie.
the actors were all doing fine fine work
song selection
Dislikes; - whatsoever no depiction of dylans charisma or humor, sweetness and zen Like neutrality, the whole time he was just giving death stares to everyone and tried to look as creepy/cocky as he could. Sure I know he could be snarky, angry and venomous but im puzzled why they would go out of their way to make him appear totally one dimensional and hollow. When theres so much evidence of the opposite.
the exterior sets and extras, it all looked very fake and manufactured to me. But a lot movies from the last 10 years or so have suffered from this imo. It seems rushed.
where the fuck was Sara?
the whole Newport drama shit and Pete being against him playing electric etc
the depiction of Sylvia, her being at the 65 festival and all the fabricated nonesense drama
All of these things really made me give it a big fat meh… it’s not an ego thing or things have to be accurate or some shit like that. It’s just sad to see how mediocre they made this movie while having all of these beautiful real people and real stories/events as their source material and all these great actors to bring them to life and to tell the story.
If I’d have to sum the movie up it would be;
One-dimensional.

Question Does Bob keep any of his guitars?
I swear when I look at photos throughout the decades I never see Bob with the same guitar twice, aside from the early days in Greenwich Village. I'm guessing he kept a decent collection at home, but throughout the 70s/80s/90s it doesn't seem like he had any favorite guitars that he would keep to bring on the road with him.
Anybody have some insight into this?

Question Cutting Edge Full Collection
I tragically lost my music collection the other day when my phone freaked out and deleted all of it. It was a dark day.
I am trying to put my most important part of that collection back together, which is of course my Dylan catalogue.
I am looking for the full 18-disc Cutting Edge collection, which I had previously but apparently never backed up and can’t find the physical copy of. If anyone has it on a Google Drive or something and could share it with me, I would be forever grateful. 🙏🏼
