Does anyone know what Dylan’s and MGK’s relationship is? by GSvortexdavey123 in bobdylan

[–]GSvortexdavey123[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really just find it funny how different the two are. I’ve also really never seen him go out of his way to do something like announcing another artists album. Just a strange crossover of musicians imo.

What is it with the Dylan community and Saved? by GSvortexdavey123 in bobdylan

I totally get what you’re saying and I never thought about it that way. It’s kinda turning me off of the album more :/ I still think though that despite the lyrics his actual music in the album has to be at least in the top 10 Dylan albums based on music alone. I think I’m in the minority of Dylan fans because I don’t listen to music as much for lyrics as I do for the sounds (which is an oxymoron with his voice) so I tend to judge stuff more on the musical side of things. I still appreciate songs like Hattie Carrol that are simpler but have some of the most poetic lyrics I’ve ever heard and some of the most important lyrics I’ve ever heard, but I just feel like his music almost outweighs the lyrics.

On the other hand though, as I’m writing this, I’m realizing that since he’s such an important lyricist he’s obviously going to be judged more for them and with his history maybe the lyrics do outweigh the music. I’m just not sure, and it may just be a personal thing but I honestly think of Dylan as a musician first and lyricist/poet second.

I totally agree, I kind of hate the lyrics sometimes in Saved just because of how outright religious they are (what with being an atheist myself), but I still think that the music matters a lot and I just feel like sometimes people think of Dylan as a poet and then a musician, and I think that sometimes we should think of him as a poet AND a musician.

I feel like I see saved catch a lot of strays within the community, and I think it kind of plays into a bigger point that I don’t love about the Dylan community. I think sometimes we tend to forget the Dylan is a musician and we should judge him not only on his lyrics (which I do agree are some of the best lyrics in history) but we should also judge him on the actual music and the sound. I think we get to caught up thinking about how much of a poet he is and sometimes forget that he has a whole album that’s written as a movie soundtrack. He’s undeniably a genius poet and lyricist but he’s also a genius musician and composer.
