Does that make me a bad person?
No--just another 'been there/done that' old cunt.

"I can't honestly say I'm all that excited about either the newport dvd or help! next week.
Does that make me a bad person?"
if your generation had produced anything even half good your statement would make you super cool but as your generation has produced only watered down versions of what you're not excited about watching it makes you a cunt.

As it turns out, it doesn't matter. Us Canucks get hosed again, and have to wait another week. Meaning oasis, Dylan and the Beatles are all releasing DVDs on the same day.
Is this heaven?

It's been well over a year since I last listened to Modern Times, so I figured this might be a good time to give it another hearing and see if my opinion of it has changed in time. Unfortunately, it hasn't.
In fact, it's even more dreadful than I recalled. How ridiculous is that one note riff throughout "Levee's Gonna Break," or that horrendous thump-thump bass drum on the silly and melodramatic "Nettie Moore"? And never mind him stealing from Timrod, I still can't get past the sheer audacity of laying claim to "Someday Baby" and "Rollin' & Tumblin'."
The simple fact is I'm convinced if you could go back in time and play this album for Dylan in 1964, he would have doubled over with laughter before tossing it in the shitter. What a truly sad effort it is.

While drinking my morning coffee and perusing Erik Karl's wonderful Expecting Rain site I see that 'tricia j' and the intrepid Scott Miller sent a link with a story about boby turning the Beatles onto marijuana.
Well stop the fucking presses! Who knew? Maybe they can dig up a link about boby going electric at Newport. Useless cunts.

one thing that sticks out in the newport dvd is tamby in 64. before that the songs are stuff everyone's heard before (pretty much). tambourine man was a completely different animal.

It wasn't even Bob, but rather the late, great Al Aronowitz.

You mean the one he plays on that tiny guitar? I don't think it sounded all that different from the album track.
owen also wrote "workingman's pachelbel"
I remember that discussion from the old Pool. To be honest, WB2 always sounded exactly like that drippy Graham Nash song, "Right Between the Eyes" (from 4-Way Street_ to me

'You mean the one he plays on that tiny guitar? I don't think it sounded all that different from the album track.'
but the album track came out about one year after that newport 64 tamby performance
right between the eyes? thats a good song, workingmans blues is dull

Our hero definitely was a big-time cunt.....a user and opportunist too.
But you gotta admit it's funny watching him destroy her.
