Bob Dylan AARP Interview

[DiabolusInMusic]

Ooops! My mistake, sorry for the misunderstanding Diabolus.

I am considering putting you on ignore, at the least, I will eternally hold a grudge.

To be fair, I don't think we can talk about that either, hence, "water sports."

and I was referring to how ludicrous Dylan's remark at 1st glance seems to be. On 2nd glance he could well be mirroring his own experience particularly in the 60s where his music went so much beyond the norm. Isaac Newton was commonly thought of as being an "intermediary" between God and man - Bach later so. I've heard the term "touched by God" applied to everyone from Wayne Gretzky to Brian Wilson and Bruce Lee. I might classify Dylan in the same terms but Chuck Berry? Nah. Dylan seems to think of Berry along the same lines so there must be some merit to it. He knows far more about music/pop culture/public perception than I could ever hope to know.

Okay, okay, I'm a Bozo don't rub it in.

I do see what you are saying now. Thanks Bachlover.

I just logged back on to delete my post. Religion isn't appropriate as a sub topic in pretty well any terms, but I think Bob would be happy if his thread was closed down due to contentious dialogue over what he said in the interview.

This is definitely music-related even it's broadened into other areas. I think it's more Miscellaneous than OT, so I've moved it here.

The mention of Chuck Berry perhaps being a religious icon in 100 years or so seems kind of out there to me.

He's a religious icon to me already!

Willie Dixon too?
