a little while back there was a graph trend of british comedy (monty python, eddie izzard) and now there seems to be a misheard lyrics trend.
I have heard Bob Dylan live, and I can honestly say that this graph is true
A guy mumbles through a Grammy performance in the 80s (was there ever a worse time to be Bob Dylan?) and suddenly nobody can understand what he was saying 20 years prior. Silly graphjam.
You people are obviously not Dylan fans. It’s a funny graph. Misguided misguided and showing a lack of cultural accuity, but because it’s such an old joke, it’s funny. If you listen a little closer, the music could change your life. Until then you’ll be destined to be dumbasses rehashing old jokes about truly concious individuals. Hey, did you hear the one about Ghandi?
Calm. Confucius changed my life but if someone makes a silly joke about him I would not be so defensive because it is a joke. Dylan is greatness. The chart doesn’t change that. (Gandhi ROCKS! Who is Ghandi?
)
You’re right. I realized that I had gone off shortly after I pressed ENTER. It’s just a bit annoying with today’s culture of ignorance. I sometimes forget it’s OK to joke and that they aren’t always mean. This contemporary culture is too much fluff. In the words of Les Claypool “…back in the day, music folk had something to say.”
thanx RJ
Yeah, people are ‘ignorant’ because they’re not all into Bob Dylan… what was that about understanding during the 60s? Pot calling the kettle black?
Naw…Pot smoking some pot.
Take a joke, people! When did Dylan turn into the Messiah that we are not allowed to question?
And Dylan didn’t have the cheesegrater vocal issue at only one show. He does that all the time. Unlike you, he seems to have a sense of humor about it. I’m sure he knows what people say about him and I don’t think he’d have gotten this far if he worried about silly graphs and things.
Don’t play into the stereotype of his fans as ultra-serious, cranky zealots. Relax. It’s only a website. Don’t send the Dylan Police over to anybody’s house.
I’m a big Dylan fan and I don’t think I’d be stretching it to say that he has been a bigger musical influence than anyone else in the 20th century. However, I’ve been to two of his shows and his voice plain sucks beyond all belief. I loved this graph!
There should also be a slice in there about the necessity of using marijuana…
weird al’s song “Bob” is pretty funny. all the lines are palindromes.
One of the most highly quoted human beings known to exist… Yet no-one can seem to understand what he’s saying… I never understood that.
Bob Dylan’s words will be remembered long after any poster here dies or most other people on the planet. He has sacrificed his vocal chords to make the world a better place. A little tough for retards to grasp that, I know.
I’ve seen him live and I can understand him just fine. When I first started going to his shows, I had trouble, but I have trouble understanding anyone live when I don’t know the lyrics.
I’m from Norway and my English is not that good (bad actually). All the way I’ve had to read the lyrics to understand it. Understand is not the point, you should experience both the lyrics and the music. I’m an old man, just like Bob, and I’ve been to many live shows with Bob. He is a great poet and live artist and will live long after I’ve left the planet. The graph is funny and I’m sure Bob will agree!
Needs a “drug references” wedge.
Playing the harmonica isnt a lyric
the graph says tambourine, as in “hey, mr tambourine man” which he wrote and which might belong in the ‘indecipherable metaphor’ category anyway.
None so blind as those who will not see…
None so deaf as those who will not hear …
Indecipherable and Indistinguishable to who ???
Like the guy said below – its an old joke and it ignores some of the greatest poetry of the 20th century …
and all of those words rang true
and burned llike glowing coal
like they were writen in my soul
from me to you
tangled up in blue…..
