Bob Dylan

[tomsk]

Is he a hero or villain after not acknowledging his award for poetry?

[Icey]

Probably just can't be bothered with all the pomp that accompanies these awards.

[tomsk]

he could send a message from his team though...

[Icey]

True.

I've never cared for the man though, or his work. They've called his silence "impolite and arrogant".

[tomsk]

What's up wiv the geezer?
He sounds pompous...git!

[Icey]

No idea T, but he obviously doesn't consider the Nobel prize worth having, although I heard that he MAY turn up at the do they have in honour of it - unless that's already gone now?

[tomsk]

Maybe he is a sensitive soul and shuns praise?

[Icey]

Possibly. He probably feels that there're more deserving cases as well.

[tomsk]

I think he should at least aknowlege it though..a simple yay or nay would suffice...

[Icey]

I agree with you, but atm he's keeping quiet isn't he?

[tomsk]

he sure is,
a lot of people have said his recent live performances are crap..mumbling words, no warmth of communication, no charisma..
He doesn't give a monkeys basically...

[Icey]

Do you think it's his age? I mean, he must be getting on a bit now, and sometimes people can get a bit cranky.

[tomsk]

he's always been aloof, moody..

[Icey]

I don't know about that, but he DOES look it!

[tomsk]

I like some of his stuff,
I have one album on CD ,
dO YOU HAVE ANY?

[Icey]

None, sausage. I can't even name anything he's done!

[tomsk]

Coo!

[Icey]

He's not my style at all. Just never been interested in him.

[tomsk]

i have one album of his 'Modern times' released on August 29, 2006 by Columbia Records
which is ok..

[Icey]

Well SOMEONE has to buy them I suppose! LOOOOOL!!

No, I've just listened to Modern times. Dylan's voice is rubbish, but his guitar playing's OK. Thunder on the Mountain's not too bad.
