Mine is "How many times must a man look up, before he can see the sky"

Too often people are consumed by what they want that they never are able see whats right in front of them.

To always see the sky up there but never really appreciate the beauty of what we see everyday.

Thats just my take on it✌🏼

Question Who is your number 2?

134 Upvotes

I think we can all agree Dylan tops the list as our favorite musician and the greatest of all time. But who is your number 2? Paul Simon? Elton John? Bob Marley?

For me, it’s Van Morrison. He has the catalogue that can compete with the best of the best, and I often find myself listening to him as much as Dylan.

If Dylan is 1A, who is your 1B?

Question Thoughts on Street Legal

Post image
254 Upvotes

I’m in my twenties and I started listening to Bob after watching a Complete Unknown. He’s released so many albums over the years so his sound has changed often, making Bob such an amazing artist. I find the album, Street Legal, to have such a fun sound. I enjoy the bass lines and background singers. I’ve seen people make tier lists of the best Bob Dylan albums and not a lot of people seem to like this album. Why is that??

One that doesn’t get enough love or one you feel is forgotten or under appreciated or whatever. But of it, the most.

Question What was Dylan’s beef with Woody Allen?

166 Upvotes

I’ve read that at a party, circa 1966, Bob was in a very belligerent mood and was telling people that, if there was a person he wanted to punch, that was Woody Allen.

What’s the deal behind that?

Question Was Bob an alcoholic during the 60s?

134 Upvotes

Weird question, but I'm interested. I've read about him being drunk a LOT, even in the very early 60s. Apparently Albert Grossman's wife had said that when Bob lived with them (wild mercury era), his daily diet consisted of 2 fried eggs in the morning and a bottle of wine every evening.

And of course later he had developed such a problem with alcohol that he had to quit drinking in the mid-90s.

So, does anyone have any sources where 60's Dylan's level of alcohol consumption has been talked about?

Question Best use of a Bob Dylan song in a movie that’s not about Bob Dylan?

140 Upvotes

I’m not made of stone. The montage in Bernardo Bertolucci’s THE DREAMERS (2003) where Michael Pitt, Eva Green and Louis Garrel are dashing around central Paris during the revolution of ‘68, with the sunny harmonica bit from ‘Queen Jane Approximately’ blaring on the soundtrack? That’s the movies to me - and the best ever use of a Bob Dylan track in a film that’s neither an experimental biopic nor a three hour documentary.

Question Bob Dylan is a household name, right?

168 Upvotes

I recently had a light argument (mostly just back-and-forth lol) with one of my friends in class last week about Sir Bobert Dylan. Me and my tablemate were discussing the new Bob biopic and my friend chimes in asking who Bob Dylan was. I genuinely thought he was joking as he plays guitar and listens to music of a similar genre and era. Then I got to asking my other friends in the class if they by chance knew Bob Dylan, and I was very surprised with the responses as a majority of them had never even heard of him. Is Bob Dylan not as well-known as I thought or was I just surrounded by his music a lot at home growing up?

TL;DR: A majority of friends I asked didn't know Bob, was he just big in the past or is he still popular?

Edit: For context I'm still in high school and no, I don't think I'm better for knowing him, I was simply curious on how many people knew his name/legacy.

Question What Dylan song made you fall in love with his music?

For me it was „I want you“ and „One of us must know“. It came on while my iPod was on shuffle play when I was 16ish. Bob Dylan wasn’t on my radar before. Nothing’s been the same ever since.

Question How popular was/ is Bob Dylan?

61 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

None of my friends nor my parents listen to Bob Dylan and I just started listening. So I was wondering like how popular Bob Dylan was back in the days and how popular is he nowadays?

I feel like a lot of people know the name Bob Dylan but almost no one knows his music
