in a recent interview (rolling stone, i think) he states that all music of the last twenty years sucks, and calls it nothing more than "static." my favorite part was when he said that he believes in free downloading, because the music is worthless, anyway.
dylan likes everything to be old and rich, like him
typical Dylan assholishness. gotta love that man.
I heard he was crap during his show in Frederick this past weekend.

My boss went to the show and thought he was crap…and I saw Dylan last year and thought the same ;) so there.

the funniest part of the show was that no photos were allowed (i guess?). the bouncers up front would point at several people during each song and yell at them. even people people with cell phones. i kind of wished i had brought my camera + flash. i would have blinded the f out of them.

excerpt from the article on Wired
best quote, talking about his latest record: "Even these songs probably sounded 10 times better in the studio when we recorded 'em. CDs are small. There's no stature to it."
cds are small… dangnabit, hows ya gunna fit good sound on sumtin' dat small?!? ya need soemthing the size of vinyl to put decent sound on!
and given his age and the amount of live shows he's done, what are the chances that he has anything close to a decent sense of hearing left? answer: none.
what a douche.

and calling dylan a douche. that is just wrong. i mean, it's not k-fed saying that digital music sounds awful.

i believe that there are quite a few people who would agree with dylan's sentiment.yeah, the old digital-vs-analog debate - sorry, definitely didn't mean to resurrect that dead horse.
:)

my favorite quote on the subject was an interview with some Big Name producer (forget which one) wherein he said "i use analog for its sounds, and use digital for its non-sound".
and calling dylan a douche. that is just wrong. i mean, it's not k-fed saying that digital music sounds awful.dylan is 65 years old - his hearing is damaged by both age and countless performances where he was blasted by the monitors for hours on end. result: i'm dubious of his ability to comment on sound quality. maybe douche was too strong, but he seemed awfully certain about the modern-day sound quality thing. then again, maybe i'm the one being an incredulous douche :)
i certainly respect what he's done in terms of song writing, lyrics, and development of the folk and rock genres.
and that horrible motorcycle crash…
i love Dylan to lots of itty bitty pieces. he has made some outstanding music. as a person though, i can't say the same thing. he's been known to do and say some pretty rude things. still doesn't make him any less genius. and i wouldn't ever call him a douche. an asshole, and especially for what he did to Warhol… but not a douche.

I'd say Dylan's scathing personality is one of the main things that makes his music so great. In my mind you can't have one without the other….I love the way his cynicism and venom shine through on some of the older stuff, esp after he started turning it up. Clearly he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room.
Ballad of a Thin Man is good example……just love that song and that whole record.
Asshole, douche, shitbag, who cares. It's Dylan. Without him, well, who knows. I don't care how personable he is.
And as far as using one of Warhol's paintings as a dartboard, well he probably just increased its value a thousand times.

Rumor on the street is that Foo Fighters are opening for Dylan on his fall tour – they'll be playing their acoustic set.
And by the way, how did Warhol expect Dylan to act when he came in for a visit?
That's like having GG Allin over for brunch and then being surprised when he shits on your floor and tries to fuck your dog.
