"Having a prefabricated laugh at the expense of my own dear mother without provocation of cause is not my idea of gratitude for the interview..."

"... which took up 10 of more pages in your puerile smokescreen periodical masquerading as a songwriting litany! My mother is not a public figure to be satirized and ridiculed with silliness and malicious nonsense by some scurrilous little wretch with a hard-on for comedy!"

Wrote Bob Dylan in a letter — which he never sent — to Song Talk magazine.

If he had published that letter I suppose a lunch mob would have marched on those nameless assholes and burned them out.

Would you be there?

Needless to say, good for him! Why must people be such cunts? Just because they have access to a printing press.

Nichevo, I like the phrase "lunch mob". Makes me hungry and sounds like fun.

Is a "lunch mob" when a horde of zombies overtakes you & eats you?

How long does a hard on for comedy last?

Not sharing the fascination with Bob, I generally skip his posts here. But that he is a decent man, however often one may or may not listen to his songs, seems not to be in doubt.

Dylan surprises people when he turns out to be an ethical man who came through the Hippie 1960s free love and drugs era, but ended up a dedicated Christian. He is like many of us from that era.

Dylan probably negotiated a 6-figure deal for the interview, while (what's his name) got the standard $50 a page deal.

George Harrison used to say, that Bob didn't do interviews, but demanded 33% of revenue. Not that Harrison really cared about the money, but it was bad form, and he thought people should know the kind of man he was.

You can't be a real member of the group, if you always off standing by yourself rubbing your wallet.

Do hyphenated-Americans use hard-on, hard on, or hardon?

Wonder what Bob Dylan thought of Jimi Hendrix's intro to Like A Rolling Stone (was referring to bassist Noel Redding in the band).

Yes as I said before, it's really groovy. I'd like to bore you for about six or seven minutes, and do a little thing uh. Yeah. Excuse me for a minute, just let me play my guitar, alright? Right now I'd like to do a little thing uh by Bob Dylan. That's his grandmother over there. It's a little thing called 'Like a Rolling Stone.

Excellent!

Interesting the men who claim "little" as appropriate labels for humans, not to mention dogs. Only a one-way narcissistic train blows that whistle.

More interesting are their acolytes.

Nothing changes, and of course time has never, never will, nor ever can possibly, cease changing.

Divide by zero and prove me wrong.

In many ways the concept of change being more powerful than time could benefit.

Could also fuck shit up.
