Prince and Bob Dylan Watching the PBS documentary a couple weeks back got me interested in Bob Dylan and I bought "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Blonde on Blonde."
Both men are: From Minnesota Cryptic Embrace "radical" spirituality Diminutive Way out there Makers of really bad self-indulgent films Singer-songrwriters Typically press-shy Do their own thing What else? | |

Let's celebrate at least one thing they don't have in common :
Surprisingly, Dylan not Prince appeared in a lingerie commercial. And for those living in Canada, Dylan not Prince let a bank use a seminally countercultural song to promote financial services. [Edited 10/8/05 18:26pm] | |

"Shut Up, Already. DAMMM!!!!!!!" | |

Compared to Prince, Dylan is a giant, height-wise. 
Both were also amongst the first musicians to release CD-ROMs (with the same company, incidentally). FYI: Rumour had it that Dylan and Prince were scheduled to do a number together at The Concert for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ('95), but - as we all know - Prince bowed out of the show. |

Whew! Had me worried for a minute. After seeing the Prince and Salma Hayeck thread, Prince and Bob Dylan was a little much for me to handle. Not that there's anything wrong with that. | |

Dylan also praised Prince and referred to him as a "boy wonder" in a magazine interview (Spin?) in the '80s. |

1. Wild hair
2. Dylan has that cute sculpted moustache like P's been doing for years 3. Married models/model-types 4. Play both guitar & piano 5. Shocking stylistic changes which alienated many fans 6. Have played with Tom Petty/Jeff Lynne Check this song out at:

Mavis Staples....Both have worked lots with Mavis Staples.
Bob and Mavis recorded "Gonna Change My Way of Thinking" a couple of years ago as a duet, and Mavis often covers Bob songs. They've been friends for over 40 years and were rumoured to have been a couple at one point. |

There is a definite possibility that Mavis and Bob had a thing goin on in the good old days. Mavis speaks very highly of Bob. I'm pretty sure they were lovers at some point. | |

I saw that in an article either earlier this year or last year, can't remember off hand. | |

When Dylan fans didn't accept his becoming electric
Bob couldn't care less. When Prince fans didn't accept his becoming a witness Bob couldn't care less. | |

[Edited 10/8/05 18:26pm] So big deal - Dylan let his music be used in commercials - so has Prince. I guess that makes them both sell-outs. | |

What else? |
