Bob Dylan will graciously accept an award right about the same time Donald Trump becomes presidential.

Fuck Bob Dylan. I don’t want to hot take or anything(even though I personally don’t think he deserves it at all), but if he was going to be a giant wrinkled nutsack about receiving what is arguably the HIGHEST HONOR IN THE FUCKING WORLD then he should have just declined it. And I’ve seen a lot of “oh! It’s just Bob…

I am knee-deep in a Mary Oliver collection I had somehow missed but would love more suggestions! Please and thank you!!

Who knew the music world had a Sanders-Level signal?

Oof. The man-babies are out in full force for Bob Dylan tonight, y’all.

It’s very rude. He had two options: accept the award or don’t accept the award. Either is fine. But if you’re going to accept it and attend the ceremony, the least you can do is act gracious. He’s acting like a child.

So my parents, years ago, made a list of tours they wanted to see again and as many times as possible before they or the artist died. Lots of classics: Dylan, Joan Baez, Springsteen, the Stones, Eric Clapton, BB King, Van Morison, Joni Mitchell (my dad even added Joplin and Hendrix because “YOU NEVER KNOW,…

Most people in my department agree with you. I mainly like that he got it because it widens and diversifies what we think of as literature, which is always welcome. The world is a text!

I’m not as generous as you are. I like his music well enough, but do NOT think he deserved the award and have no patience for his grumpy nonchalance!

I think JLo is less Dorian Gray and more Countess Bathory. Mothers of the Tri-State region, watch your daughters.

All throughout the campaign, I really wondered why exactly Trump wanted to be president. Unlike his previous occupation, where he just signs his name off on something and takes all the credit if it works and lies/sues/moves away from whatever doesn’t and his kids and others in the organization do the real hard work in…

Yup. They still blame all of the issues on other people, not themselves. Their entitlements are important, but other peoples’ are ridiculous. Zero empathy whatsoever.

Even Bush The Younger, who was one of the least deserving and/or presidential modern presidents, had days where he wasn’t a total fuck up.

You know what they say:

“An open letter to the anti-charismatic national embarrassment known as President Donald Trump...”

Yea, but my point is that many people that say they “disapprove” of him will still very likely vote for him again. Like how Jason Chaffetz went on and on about “how he couldn’t look his daughter in the eye and say he supported Trump” after the access Hollywood tape, and now he.... does whatever Trump wants. It’s easy…

but there’s hope that soon it will fall < 35%

According to this helpful sign...

The thing that scares me about his approval ratings is that there are still a hell of a lot more than 35% of people that will vote for him again once he is running against someone with a “D” after their name. Hell, his approval ratings never got very high during the election, but people still voted for him, because…
