I remember seeing the video during the preview in a movie theatre.
I laughed my ass off for 10 minutes.
I'm sure not all Motown is horrible. It's just not my cup of tea.
I like my rock n roll done with fire and passion.
I love most of Dylan's "The Best Of The Original Mono Recordings"
You can hear Dylan getting better as the CD plays on...
It starts with "Song For Woody" and ends with "All Along The Watchtower"
Bob Dylan certainly was in all his glory in the mid sixties.
The songs in which many rock n roll artists covered for at least 25 yrs.
You can hear the development of folk rock as a new form of rock n roll.
Bob Dylan's voice grated on in his early stuff, but he changed.

Everyone from Peter Paul And Mary's "Blowin'In The Wind"
To Guns N Roses's "Knocking On Heaven's Door"
Judas Priest actually named themselves from Bob Dylan's album track:
"Frankie & The Judas Priest"
Judas Priest covered the Joan Baez masterpiece, "Diamonds And Rust"
Some folk songs can be recorded by a wide range of different artists.
Bob Dylan is quite fascinating to me because of his deep lyrics.
Taking songwriting to a new level that they never really age in time.
Bob Dylan may not have ever been a great singer, but he was brillant.
He opened the floodgates for all kinds of singers to be successful.
From Folk, Country, Blues, Reggae to Heavy Metal. Amazing, really.
Bob Dylan's catalog is huge. From "The Band" to "The Grateful Dead"
He worked with Johnny Cash, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty....

<quoted text>I'm not crazy about Dylan's voice but yeah he is one of the best song writers around.He has been around for over 45 years and still tours.Not bad for a guy that can't sing very well.

Dylan's best music remains the classics he released in the 1960's...
"The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" (1963)
"Another Side Of Bob Dylan" (1964)
"The Times They Are A Changing" (1964)
"Bringing It All Back Home" (1965)
"Highway 61 Revisited" (1965)
"Blonde On Blonde" (1966)
"John Wesley Harding" (1968)
"Nashville Skyline" (1969)
But the 1970's showed that Dylan still could write great masterpieces:
"Concert For Bangladesh" (only 5 dylan performances)(1971)
"Blood On The Tracks" (1975)
"The Basement Tapes" (recorded in 1967 with The Band)(1975)
"Desire" (1976)
"Slow Train Coming" (1979)
How can someone who could never really sing, create an amazing legacy?

<quoted text>I have the show that was put on for Bob Dylan.GE Smith was the musical director.It has George Harrison-Chrissy Hyne-Ron Wood-Neil Young-and scores of other musicians on it.I think it was done about 1986 not sure but it is a tribute to Bob Dylan and Roseanne Cash is even on it.At the end everybody comes out on stage with Bob.Dylan is very respected and his personality and brilliant song writing carries him through.

I know one thing though.
Bob Dylan is an artist who can never be replaced.
Like Elvis, once he's gone...he's gone forever.
What he did at his peak could never be done the same again.
The mood he created in the mid sixties of protest and revolution.
It was tears of rage.
His look, his music, his lyrics were the sign of era and the times.
The young Dylan with the black suits, the crazy hair, the cigarette.
He looks so timeless to me now. So cool.

The same way Elvis did it...studio trickery and gullible fans.

George Martin: The King Of Studio Trickery
Instruments played backwards, tape loops, bells, whistles...
Voices & instruments spliced, recorded then pieced together for masters.
All overdubbed separately into each Beatle track starting on "Revolver"
How do I know this? Have the Beatle studio outtakes in original form.
Out of tune playing, rough vocals, rough mixes of takes and demos.
The "Revolver" sessions were horrible as a studio outtake bootleg album.
Martin simply used studio trickery by speeding or slowing down tapes.
Elvis Presley recorded most everything live with a band in the studio.
Take one, take two, take three, take four, take five and so forth...
Lots of complete takes yet recorded until EP thought he had the master.
No studio trickery involved because I have hundreds of Elvis outtakes.
A lot of complete take ones and take twos better than the finished song.
About Bob Dylan: The Legendary Great White Wonder Bob Dylan bootleg.
One of the first rock n roll bootlegs ever produced in the mid sixties.
Dylan fans bought "The Great White Wonder" for a reason, you know...
Who's gullible? It certainly isn't me because I seek out rock history.
You have no clue what your talking about. It's really quite hilarious.
