Joni M : Dylan "not authentic _ plagiarist _ fake" 14 Years ago  
Joni Mitchell LA Times interview


LAT: ... The folk scene you came out of had fun creating personas. You were born Roberta Joan Anderson, and someone named Bobby Zimmerman became Bob Dylan.

JM: Bob is not authentic at all. He's a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception. We are like night and day, he and I.

"his name and voice are fake"

Well the name - OK. But voice? I guess a few of them over the years might have been fake but anyone care to guess which is the "real" Dylan voice? Was it Nashville Skyline after all?

At first I thought "Yikes! What must have happened on that 1998 tour with Bob and Van?" Then I read the quote again and thought, yep they are like night and day. I don't know about the "authentic" jab, but I don't disagree with the rest of the statement, or think it's particularly damning.

Don't get me wrong, now, I like Dylan and have enjoyed his music, but, what, exactly, did she say that wasn't true?

I agree - her words read as though she's angry, but the only thing I disagree with is that he doesn't sing with an "authentic" voice.

Bob has to approach singing from a completely different place than Joni - she has (had) an angelic soprano and sings from a ethereal perspective, Bob sings from the ground up, and he revels in vocal gymnastics - not operatic, but carny.

Deceptive, fake or not, Bob is still a great lyricist, musician, and singer.

If what she says is true, then authenticity is overrated.

she certainly overstates dylan's artifice and probably understates her own. having precendent and sources talks more about an intellectual curiousity and appreciation rather than anything too crass - yes he should credit others better but what the hell...

Okay, but one listen to this and one asks, "Will the real Bob Dylan please stand up."
