IDIOT WIND
The inexplicable, and truly offensive "The Times They Are A-Changing," the Broadway musical set to the tunes of Bob Dylan, is closing. According to the piece, theater critic Ben Brantley called it "the latest heart-rending episode in Broadway's own reality soap opera, 'When bad shows happen to great songwriters.'"
"Bad broadway musical based on Dylan's songs" is redundant in my opinion, but I'll nevertheless roll with his bon mot.
None of this made a bit of sense to me from day one, but there you have it. Apparently Dylan's cashing in on every cent of his cultural icon status before he starts drooling. But I'll say this: if Highway 61 Revisited shows up in a freaking Chevy Truck commercial, the TV's going through the window.

Bob, you posting under Ed's name again?
Highway 61 Revisted might make a good Nike Commercial. You know, all the red white and blue shoestrings? Do you know where I can get rid of these things?

I feel like a thousand telephones that don't ring are ringing in my head right about now, Weas.
Please, no more! Make the hurting stop.

He hasn't started yet? Have you heard his new releases?

No, I haven't. Word on the street's been that the new album is good. I take it you don't concur?
Musically, they are decent and not cliche' (unlike Bob Seger's new album, which is the biggest old man rock cliche ever). But his voice sounds a bit like a frog that's drunk out of its mind.
I didn't want to call his new stuff "great" just because it's him. He needs to try.
Bob's not bringing the A-1 pipes, huh?
