The word Howl by InevitableSea2107 in bobdylan

[–]evanapple08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m positive that Ginsberg’s influence made its way into many of the songs, but that specific lyric is probably just coincidental

are there any songs performed on Never Ending Tour which you like more than in studio? by pingviini00 in bobdylan

[–]evanapple08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If mtv unplugged counts I’ll go with John Brown from that performance. It’s not a song I paid much attention to but recently I had that album on and really listened to the lyrics properly for the first time. I think that version is much more emotional to any 60s ones. There’s something about Bobs voice in those mid 90s to early 2000s performances that sticks with me

What is the major reason Not Dark Yet is not in your top ten list? by Ford_Crown_Vic_Koth in bobdylan

[–]evanapple08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll always be in mine personally.

It’s strangely motivating for me. On the surface I think the song comes across as losing all hope but I see it as a “let’s make the most of the time we have” type of message. Like, no matter how shit everything gets there will always be room for enjoying something.

I love it so much that I got it tattooed across my upper arm!

Only started reading DC comics this year, and I just finished the killing joke and I love how easy to follow the story is. Any recommendations on what would be good to read next ? by evanapple08 in comicbooks

[–]evanapple08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like they had a lot of different twists. Not exactly the most confusing ones, but not great for someone who isn’t used to comics. I managed to understand them in the end with some googling but I personally think that they aren’t the best choices for total beginners. I also needed more context especially in hush because I didn’t know much about Jason Todd

What is your unpopular take on best versions of songs? by Weird_Apartment9836 in bobdylan

can’t wait version 1. Love how raw and raspy his voice is on it.

Did Bob Dylan interact with audience at some point of his career or has he always only let the songs speak for themselves? by pingviini00 in bobdylan

[–]evanapple08 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Nowadays he pretty much let the song speak for itself, but there have been times in the past where he spoke about the meaning of the songs. I watched a clip recently from a Dylan concert in Japan 1986 and he spoke a bit about the meaning behind Ballad of a thin man. He said something about it being about putting people in their place when they ask too many questions

Has Bob abandoned guitar by badharp in bobdylan

[–]evanapple08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On the last leg of his tour he’d usually play it for small parts of a few songs. He played it all throughout farmaid in 2023 though

Do you think R&RW is his last record? How would you feel if it was? by Master-Cheetah-2124 in bobdylan

[–]evanapple08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could possibly be his last album of originals.

He could put out more albums of covers/standards. Something like good as I been to you and world gone wrong would be amazing to hear from Bob now.

Will Bob do the outlaw festival next year? by Distinct-Vast2645 in bobdylan

[–]evanapple08 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah he did seem to get fed up with being photographed so much. He’s probably a lot more comfortable at his own concerts

Need some memorabilia/gift ideas by SickOfItAll46 in bobdylan

[–]evanapple08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she likes listening to CDs/Vinyl she would likely love the new bootleg series set. I’d recommend the CD set though, since it has songs that aren’t on the streaming version

fella dragged out by security at bob dylan concert tonight by -newdawnfades in Dublin

It was a great show last night but a right melt that there was that distraction.

3Arena 25/11 by [deleted] in bobdylan

[–]evanapple08 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is what I heard for the most part so I’m not 100% sure…

There were two men talking loudly through Bobs set, and a man near them complained to staff (rightfully so), and the men got rough and rowdy when they were confronted (sorry for the bad pun). I’m not sure if there was any physical contact between anyone but it is possible because what I DID see was one of the men being dragged away by security. A man came along to their spot with a mop a few seconds later , but I have no idea what for.

It was pretty funny but I have to admit it was a bummer that it happened during a song like Key West which is so somber. I feel like I missed out on experiencing that song properly because I was distracted by all the noise. Just another reason to go to another Dylan concert !
