Seems every time I read one of your posts you manage to top the last for a negative opinion to knowledge ration. Woody was a part of all our musical pasts, he was however a three chord man and unashamed of that fact. His lyrics and his spirit are what made him legendary. Jack Elliot, a remarkable guitar player/stylist (I learned much of my early playing from him) is not a writer, although he did pen a few good tunes. To make "whip his ass" statements is purely juvenile. You would be hard pressed to find someone in music who does not hold Dylan as one of the major forces of the 20th and
21st century in the field. His catalog alone, compared to Woody and Jack is beyond compare. To say "same song," means one of two things, you have absolutely no ear or you have listenend to a very limited amount of his music. "Blowin' in the Wind," is hardly the same musical content as "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands." Think a bit before your next post.

I'm so sick of your condescending crap. Is it possible for you to ever not cut another person down on these boards? Must be your way of feeling better about your own life; i.e. having to rip on others to make yourself feel better/important.

Dylan is repetitive. Yes he wrote some awesome tunes; of which he continues to rip off and repeat.

Today; DYLAN SUCKS! He hasn't been even decent in concert since the 70's and has not written anything of original content since the 60's when he was ripping off Woody tunes and impersonating Ramblin' Jack. There are no Robert Zimmerman folk festivals and not one musician scouring through any Zimmerman material looking for gold; both examples hold true in regards to Guthrie.

Hell, Dylan even had to steal his name from a poet.

So you're a liar then. You couldn't possible have stopped reading if you went back and made parts of my quote in bold text; i.e. you would have to see the rest of what I wrote therefore you saying you stopped reading is a lie.

Besides Ramblin' Jack is a guitar master.

You got me. Check and mate.

I talk down only to those whose opinion require it. You happen to be one of them. I won't waste my time replying to the inane points that you bring up...I'll let the following article address them. I realize that the puclication that it's taken from has little to do with the music industry but it will have to suffice. You see, there is so little written in praise of Dylan that I had to take what I could get.

The guy's a regular fucking Perry Mason, isn't he?

Sean

As I am sure it is the same throughout your entire life; having to take what you can get.

Sean

Poor you, got your little feelings hurt. Go cry to Wayside, I'm sure he'll console you.

Common sense rules.

LOL, when did this become a competition? Who here claimed that Dylan was a 'guitar master' or that finding your post completely ignorant of fact meant that I thought any less of Ramblin' Jack Elliot?
