The harmonica parts were hilarious.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery....

Who would have Neal Young sing Summer Wind?...Now that would be equally funny....while taking nothing away from Neal.

Dylan is brilliant....he can stand up to a few jokes.....

Keep writing Bob, we love it.

Sad, isn't it. I thought the video you posted to start this thread was hilarious, and not at all mean-spirited.

OBDisclaimer: Blood On The Tracks is one of my all-time favourite albums, and "Gotta Serve Somebody" is perhaps my favourite Dylan song ever.

Not for me. I like him, just not this.
Really liked his take on the history of native americans and sometimes catch him on some BBC shows where is quite often reasonably funny.
Never mind the hat..

I know but this imitation is lousy. I've seen quite a few good ones over the years

It's funny.

Dylan needs to hang it up. He just doesn't have it anymore. We walked out of his show on his last tour. It was just horrible. His guitar playing was amateurish, and his vocals were unintelligible.

For the prices you pay to see Dylan, you should get more than that. A lot more.

There's no way any sane person would try to say that Dylan's performances are "good". They're not. Maybe he was good 30 years ago, but he's not good now.

Just because he can doesn't mean he should.

Because, for the love of God, he shouldn't.

We've moved from Rich Hall to Bob Dylan now. Will you guys please move to 'expecting rain'?

My 2 cents. I have avoided Dylan's concerts for 10 years now. Voice gone to shreds. Still trying to belt out 'like a rolling stone'. That's what Rich was referring to. But he should've done his homework. Obviously his expectations weren't met with the reality of the concert.Well...duh!
Dylan's gone soft now, intimate even, with his latest album 'Shadows in the night'.His voice has improved. There's a big heart speaking on that album and also on his latest gigs. All very much under the lamp light, where he belongs, like Cohen. I've been saying that for years, but he finally listened..
