Real-life person: Stephen Colbert

I swear, if SNL put half the time into actually writing funny sketches as they do into celebrating their own legacy, they wouldn't have to constantly be celebrating their own legacy. Show, don't tell, folks.

Two Jakes didn't end up coming out until 5 years after this.

But a good percentage of music that's released online now isn't put out by the major three labels. I have tons of music on there, and I'll sometimes get quite a bit of streaming activity (like, hundreds of streams per statement, which seems significant to me!) And I get royalty statements for like 1/10th of a penny. …

It's definitely his heaviest album, in my opinion. Stands alone from his other rock albums, for sure. But I never listen to it.

Personally I think his worst run was about 1989-98. Woof, those were some bad albums. Mighty Like a Rose being his worst.

Also, I really do love North. Il Sogno is bad, though.

I respectfully disagree. The Delivery Man had some great moments, as did The River in Reverse and Wise Up Ghost. And My Flame Burns Blue is an admirable performance. But he's definitely put out several boring-but-listenable discs too — Momofuku comes to mind, and the last two T Bone-produced discs.

Totally! Embarrassed I didn't notice that. Geez.

I see your point. But it's different when Dylan perpetuates his own murky mythos, versus when AVClub clearly doesn't give a shit about getting facts right.

Actually, it's probably the drummer Jay Bellerose.

It's the Ghost of 'Lectricity.

You can count on me to be "that guy" ever since AVClub announced (and dismissed) Another Self Portrait as merely a reissue of Self Portrait. Not even close to factually accurate. It's embarrassing, really.

"I Was Young When I Left Home" was not on Love and Theft, which is the masterwork recorded in 2001. The track was on a bonus disc that came with some copies of the Love and Theft album, but it was from a hotel room or house concert from 1961. It's not even considered a Dylan song, but a traditional song he played…

My mom wasn't a particularly proficient singer-guitarist, but this was one of the songs she'd play for us. Years later, I learned it, and I often throw it in during my sets. Played to huge stadiums of screaming fans. Yep.

It's the Book of Revelation, not Revelations. Not that I give a damn, but why does everyone get this wrong all the time?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: "…But I don't even know Anton!"

Interesting — I listened to the Reject version recently (I LOVED it circa 1998-99), and I was struck by how half-formed it seemed, and how the album version is clearly superior. Agree to disagree. Crazy subjective thing, that music.

I don't agree with or understand the Beck entry — I mean, first of all, that song's not exactly an anomaly on that album; it's very much of a piece with "Soul Suckin' Jerk" and "Beercan," and it also sets the stage for the folky moments and more exotic/ethereal/sampled intrumentation later on on the album ("Sweet…

Because AVClub can't publish a Dylan news piece without some misinformation, snark, or snarky misinformation.
