When, prey tell, did he stop becoming an "artist of merit", and become a "nostalgia act"? That's a very strange thing to say.

some things you just have to tune out.
Dylan being an performer lacking artistic merit is one thing.
Why some people that don't like the current Dylan post on Bob fansites that target the current state of Bob and the NET is beyond me.

I really like Shot Of Love, I think I will start bitching and moaning about negativity when people slag it off or it doesn't pop up in people's top ten lists.
I went to 15 shows in 1991. If people hate that year, they are just Bob-haters and don't get it.
If people were to say slag off 1991 or Shot Of Love, nobody would whinge about negativity because it's in the past.
People always have and always will say the latest tour is the best ever. he's been getting beter every year since 1988 according to some people.
What is truly beyond me is that most people here are blind to hilarious threads and posters, and have absolutely no idea when people are taking the piss.
I hasten to add, I've been serious and obviously not joined in the pretend posters' glee of 2009 Bob.

This is something that I do not appreciate and can not tolerate. You may have noticed a thread here about Bob's recent performance of Dignity. If you looked at it, you may also have noticed that a certain notable Dylan backing musician gave this performance a very positive review.
I'm assuming this is rather tongue-in-cheek, but there's no requirement to fawn over everything that comes out of Bob Dylan. We all (presumably) enjoy his work. I think it's great that he constantly revises his material, but that doesn't mean I always like the changes. He gets bored, likes to mix up the arrangements, it's cool, I get it. I do feel like a lot of the songs are starting to sound the same, which I think is a function of the current arrangements and overall band sound. It's easy to be nostalgic, to say "boy, Dignity sure sounded better back in 2000," or whenever. Zimmy always pressing forward though.

can we just make a sticky out of one of the several dozens threads we have had like this over the years so that every time a new group of people show up here and start to get established rather than have them get defensive on dylan's behalf they can read the old thread and see that the same damn can is getting kicked down the road.

Divido, you do that and all we're left with on this board is a list of set lists.

No. At least I'm not. I thought the original post was hilarious satire, I wonder if he writes for The Onion?

There's nothing quite like a periodic "trolls revisited" thread at The NEP. But to my point:

Well, I've skimmed through the forum and, to tell you the truth, I haven't noticed any exaggerated negativity. Seems to be mostly set list discussions. But I do admit I might have missed things. Care to share any examples?
this: - I just d'loaded four songs, thanks to a poster at The 'tower. "Dignity," imo, is an arrangement that didn't/won't work.
- Half way through "Sugar Baby," I stopped listening to it.
- "Chimes" was average, at best. I nearly nodded off.
You were quoting me, here, 'burt. It appears that you chose to choose your comments rather selectively, making no mention of the fact that I posted an mp3 of "Shooting Star," and that I spoke of it, favourably.
You may be well-served by going for a long walk. |
