Exactly. Well said, my brotha.

AND...despite what his detractors say, Howard is ten times better on satallite than he was on terrestrial radio.

Bob Dylan is a jerk, he made a hero out of Hurricane Carter without bothering to know the facts. Then they made a movie that insulted everyone with half a brain.

Wow, the ones with a whole brain must have been totally pissed then...
Seriously, thats not the only song he made about a boxer. Did you hear 'Who killed Davy Moore'? Also a song about a southern plantation owner who killed his maid, a song called William Zanzinger. You should not judge Dylan on just the impact of one song. Don't forget "A hard rain's agonna fall', "the times they are a changin'.
Boots of spanish leather, Lay lady lay, Talkin New York, New morning,
Love is just a four letter word, just to call out a few on the tip of my tongue.

He came across to me like a 21st century Salvadore Dali, same kind of iconoclastic personality producing prodigous works in his genre and later becoming a kind of spokesman. I was suprised at his sincerity on the air.
Anyone else hear him?
Wasn't Salvadore Dali a Franco supporter?

I'm not sure what Dylan's politics are (they seem to change as much as his religion), but I'm pretty much certain he doesn't support dictatorships...

That was a good song - irrespective of whether it was completely true or false.
The "other side of the story" is just as suspect anyway.

Of course the point is, Dylan is so prolific, writing hundreds of songs, some of which people will not like. 'you can please some of the people some of the time'.....
