HA! FINALLY SOMEBODY TELLS THE TRUTH ABOUT BOB DYLAN!

"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." Joni Mitchell tells the L.A. Times.


If you don't believe her, just watch  No Direction Home. I don't know why fans ignore how Scorsese's documentary shows that Dylan only became a protest song singer because that was where the market was at. He was a complete bastard to Joan Baez. He never went to a rally in his life. And when an acquaintance who had a magnificent LPs  got Dylan to housesit for him, he came back to a collection sans all the rarest records he owned. When asked about it for the documentary, without one ounce of guilt, Dylan answers that he a musical expeditionary. That's his excuse.


I love artists but Dylan is in the same league as Philip Roth and Ted Hugues: men who hate women, megalomaniac who trample over everybody for their own gratification.


Ok, so maybe I'm going beyond what Joni meant here. Tee hee.

  1. i don't see how his erratic behavior has anything to do with the quality of his music. also, protest songs are a minute portion of a grand body of work. i don't really know why i'm even dignifying this.
