People who love Dylan get irrationally angry at anyone who says anything even slightly negative about him. One person threatened to stop speaking to me just because I said he made a Christmas album. It didn't even make sense why he was mad at me about that but also was hilarious how mad he was.
I had a stalker when I was young who constantly walked around with a book of Bob Dylan's lyrics so I guess I view them through a certain lens and avoid them.
Tell a swiftie that Taylor sucks and see what reaction you get. Tell a nirvana fan that cobain was a shitty songwriter/guitarist/singer and see what they have to say.
people like what they like and don’t generally like being told what they like is shitty 🤷🏽♂️
You need to calm down, dude. I didn't even say Dylan sucks. I said he made a Christmas album, which is true. It's unhinged to threaten to stop talking to someone for saying something true.
That Christmas album he made is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. It sounds like a very drunk pub singer doing an impression. Love some (not all) Dylan, but I genuinely thought it was a parody when i first heard it. Still hard to believe he made it.
Yeah, that's cool. It still sounds like someone impersonating Dylan to me. As you say, people are allowed to have opinions and preferences. Bringing it all Back Home is one of my favourite albums of all time, Christmas in the Heart definitely isn't.
I was gifted Dylan’s Christmas album by someone who knows how much I love him. He sounded like your drunk uncle who has been away in prison these past 15 years and has just been released. I thought the gift was a joke
I personally like Bob Dylan and everyone has their own opinion and tastes in music. It doesn't bother me that people don't like him there are a lot of artists I don't like that people love. 😁
It’s so odd how people will get that angry over singers. I am obsessed with Queen & Freddie Mercury, but if you don’t like them, I don’t mind at all. We all have different tastes. Or should.
“why does he sing that way” about Bob Dylan doesn’t make anyone angry.
same thing as the cringers on the right who say “democrat party.” it’s lazy and tired and, quite frankly, just a stupid thing to say. it’s not even a criticism. it’s just … dumb.
But you still seem to be annoyed about it. I like Tom Waits; when people make jokes about his singing, I’m not immediately jumping in & accusing them of being stupid. Objectively, some of it is hilarious, but I love it. I don’t think other people are dumb.

Genuine question btw.
Except of course when you're winding them up and then telling the whole world how hilarious it was. 👍🏻

wtf?

So: It’s not anger, it’s eye rolling cringe.
In asking it, it highlights what he has dealt with for his entire career.

I didn’t “immediately jump in” and accuse anyone of anything. I’m answering the questions they asked!
I suppose the questions could have been rhetorical or something but they didn’t seem so.
Movie was great...highly recommended
