Fucking creep.

No doubt Dylan treated people badly in those years and he could be a mean asshole. Its pretty well known, though, that it was all a protective mechanism, even if it was an immature one. I find it hard to judge him too harshly because not many people can ever know what its like to be that famous at that young an age, let alone be saddled with the insane expectations of being labeled the "spokesman for your generation". That kind of pressure is unfathomable to most folks, I think.
As far as his ridiculous claims that he was not a protest singer, I don't believe he really meant that, I think he was just trying to deal with/ fuck with the clueless mainstream media and how they tried to put everyone and everything in a clearly labeled box, something that is the antithesis of what I believe were Dylan's artistic intentions. "You know something is happening here but you don't know what it is, do you Mr. Jones?"
Thanks for articulating this.

There's a Bieber tune?

Thought for a second this was a movie about:
-
And who cares if Spicer was on the Emmy's. I didn't seeing it at legitimizing anything. It was a funny bit. Him being laughed at while on the stage was the same as being booed off the stage.
I disagree, very much. It was disgusting. As were the after-party pics. He was not shunned or laughed at. I'm sure even Trump interpreted it as a sign Hollywood would forgive Trump in a heartbeat.
-
I read the concert DVD incorporates scenes of a preacher played by Michael Shannon. That sounds like a hoot.
-
The only proper way to laugh "at" Spicer would've been to boo his pale ass off the stage.
-
He was the best.

I've only read two: The Paul's Boutique one I go back to time and again because of all the fun Beastie anecdotes from the era. The other, on TMBG's Flood, is godawful because it tries wayyyyyyyyyyy too hard to convince the reader that TMBG's act was all about being "geeks" and about their influence on "geek culture" - yawn.

A thousand fucking times NO to the Emmy normalization of Sean fucking Spicer. Hollywood fuckwads.

Shit I haven't listened to this album in over a decade, but Ignoreland sounds great right now.

My brother got to see Pete do A Friend Is A Friend when he was on Letterman.

Yes, that summary is pretty much how I feel about U2's post-Pop career. Nice job.
-
This is a hell of a piece. Brings into blinding focus the awful reality of the racism behind Trump's election.
-
What did you think of The Little Things That Give You Away on Jimmy Kimmel? I think that's the best song that they've done in a long time.
I did like that. I was being a little over the top I suppose. So annoying though, the crap songs.
-
They might spread themselves a little thin by being two bands, A Giant Dog and Sweet Spirit. Sweet Spirit's The Power is probably their best song overall.
-
I was listening to the new LCD Soundsystem the other night and at a few points I thought about U2, particularly the title track, American Dream.
Made me think this is the kind of thing U2 could be doing, if they put the effort in.
If this was the new U2 song, I'd be fucking stoked:
Instead they are married to these vanilla pieces of shit songs, album after album now, that have no relation to the soaring, intimate Passengers U2, Zooropa U2, that they started tapping into post-Achtung up to 9/11, when they redefined themselves as the world's middle-of-the-road pop rock healers, deciding every song had to reach everybody and nobody. I'm done.
-
This easily replaces Get On Your Boots as their bottom-of-the-barrel first single.
-
This Best Thing song sucks assssss.
-
Hey, Beltmann!

I've given up on getting too excited about anything new from U2, so maybe that's what helps me enjoy The Blackout.

I like to think of the Red Sox 2004 postseason as a series of sweeps with a little 3-game bump in the road in the ALCS. After all, they did win 3 straight, 4 straight, and 4 straight!
