I’ll play, my simpatico friend.

When I first got into Nashville Skyline the voice sounded so different to me that I thought he’d hired someone else to sing on the album. Years later I tried to trick my first boyfriend, who hated Dylan’s voice, into liking Nashville Skyline by playing it for him without telling him who it was... didn’t work.

Situation is very complicated in Australia. I wrote a huge post about why this ad is important to us but i’m still in the GOD DAMN GREYS AFTER 5 YEARS ON JEZEBEL.

Nashville Skyline is such a weird introduction to Bob Dylan because he changed up his voice for that record. Even when I got into Dylan, it took a couple of years to get used to that voice.

I loved Joanna Coles as the mentor on “Project Runway All-Stars.” She was perfect. Just as good as Tim Gunn, but in her own unique way. I liked how she always asked the designers (usually the men) if you could wear a bra with whatever they were designing.

I once tried a Cosmo Move™ with all sincerity in my early twenties and it remains, to this day, one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever done.

“I love Cosmo, but I gave it everything I had,” she said. “I just didn’t have another sex position in me.”

I agree. It seems to me that if this is going to be your brand the ethical aspect should apply at both ends of your transaction. If your ethical option is so overpriced that very few people could afford it, one could even say that you’re confirming the notion that ethical options are unrealistic and making ordinary…

Zara’s entire point is to copy fashion forward ideas created by others.

where are people who don’t have $715 to spend on shoes supposed to buy their shoes? Per the quote, anything cheap harms the environment and kills babies.

Hm. I was thinking it was so common in horror movies because it’s so common in real life? Every woman I know has been sexually assaulted in one way or another.

To say that Bob wouldn’t be with anyone less than attractive may be correct most of the time, however, I happen to feel his one true love may be Mavis Staples...not conventionally attractive, but she’s hot to Bob. And she’s hot to me.

I first heard Dylan at a summer camp I was working at in 2008. I was so much older than, I’m younger than that now. It was a kid playing Talkin’ World War III blues on guitar and harmonica, said he wrote it himself. I thought it was the best thing I ever heard. I vowed when I got home that I would learn guitar and…

I fell in love with Dylan in high school and never looked back. Man is a straight up genius, even if he’s also a bit of a weirdsmobile.

Thanks for this. I’m a huge Bob Dylan fan (see my username). He’s by far my favorite musician. And I’ve grappled with the aspects of his life, personality, and work that can be confusing or unpleasant, like his attitude toward women (I can’t even type that without thinking of the reporter in Don’t Look Back who asks…

That second one is amazing. I snorted.

Confirmed.

Great read! I didn’t “discover” Dylan until my mid-20s, with the release of Love & Theft, and am still poking my way through his catalog. This piece will get me back into Blonde On Blonde, Highway 61, and more today.

I love Dylan and his raggedy voice. Got lost in his music in my early twenties and I don’t regret it.

Dylan is the ultimate unreliable narrator whose entire purpose is to tell you that it’s okay to feel but that you can’t count on him to teach you how to do it.
