• Possible Bob and John connection

    From pamina58@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 26 11:02:28 2024
    The way I see it,

    Bob and John are both part of the opera The Magic Flute, which has come to life.

    Bob is the fiend, John, the hero...

    So, in a sense, they are, artistically-speaking, part of another 'family'...

    Sorry, I'm not following. However, your reference to a "family" reminds me of something James Ellroy once said: "My books are delightful family entertainment -- if your family is the Manson Family."

    Were John and Bob part of the same experiment? https://inbroaddaylight.wordpress.com/2021/05/17/what-if-someone-such-as-bob-dylan-is-an-experiment-an-hypothesis-for-an-alternate-reality/

    Did Dylan ever emerge from being purportedly "born again"?

    Just curious. I think he was annoyingly preachy. At least it inspired John to spoof him with "Serve Yerself."

    Another Question, this one provoked by a remembrance of Dylan's 60
    Minutes interview with Ed Bradley in the 2000s: Is Dylan still a
    stoner? He really seemed out of it.

    I think perhaps Bob got 'saved' because John did...
    Bob returned to his secular songs with Infidels...
    I talk about it here... https://dylagence.wordpress.com/2020/02/16/example-post/

    Sorry about your stepson. Somebody killed herself in my area by
    throwing herself in front of a train not too long ago. Shortly
    thereafter, a guy I was casually talking to told me that that was his
    sister. He also told me that he had gotten a basketball scholarship to
    a CA school. I urged him to go.

    I remember reading an interview Dylan did to promote Infidels. It was conducted by Kurt Loder for Rolling Stone, and Loder suggested that a
    title like Infidels made Dylan look sort of dour and accusatory. Loder
    said, why not give an album a title like "Sweethearts"? Dylan said that
    that wasn't a bad idea.

    BTW, that 1984 Kurt Loder interview is on the Rolligstone.com site. I
    just reread about as much as I could take. Dylan seems vague and
    confused.

    Lennon's later interviews annoy me in a different way. He's hostile to
    his good work with the Beatles and towards his former bandmates -- yet
    oozing with delusional praise for Yoko.

    Thank you.

    I think this is Bob being deceptive. He became involved with the
    controversial Chabad movement and the Rebbe, by he time of Infidels, and
    still is.

    That's the one!

    I was reading each issue of RS cover to cover back then.
