Comments on: What's Old and Weird? Due Respect, Mr. Dylan, But You Fit The Bill http://www.robmacdougall.org/blog/2009/05/whats-old-and-weird-due-respect-mr-dylan-but-you-fit-the-bill/ Rob MacDougall Dot Org Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:00:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Hills Snyder http://www.robmacdougall.org/blog/2009/05/whats-old-and-weird-due-respect-mr-dylan-but-you-fit-the-bill/#comment-1168 Hills Snyder Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:02:13 +0000 http://www.robmacdougall.org/index.php/2009/05/whats-old-and-weird-due-respect-mr-dylan-but-you-fit-the-bill/#comment-1168 I love Bob's stuff --- don't really care about any apparent contradictions if that is even what they are. I also love the Greil Marcus book, though I preferred the previous title Invisible Republic. And I love Toby's show which I saw in Houston. I'd love to see it at the DeCordova if I could --- the New England context is not lost on me at all. And for those of you out west it will also be at the Frye Museum in Seattle later in the year. I wrote a review of the Houston version which I hope you will enjoy: http://artlies.org/article.php?id=1671&issue=59&s=0 I love Bob’s stuff — don’t really care about any apparent contradictions if that is even what they are.

Dylan himself has long ago become old and weird, and by thinking of such things puts him into a feedback loop. Reclusive living clearly hasn't gone far enough. Dylan could always fake his death like Frank Zappa did, or at least write an Alzheimer's letter like that Reagan guy. I don’t think it’s as simple as contradiction.

If Dylan is anyone but Harry Smith, he's stealing my bit! “Listen, he’s just trying to throw people off from finding out he’s running an Unknown Armies game.”
