Prince vs Bob Dylan

No, not who's better (that would be nonsense), but a funny little piece about how the two have more in common than you might think.

Well, well, those were some interesting facts on the two of them that I had never heard. Was never such a fan of Dylan in concert; he seemed to mumble a bit to me. (Saw him the summer of 1976 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park Colorado.) I did like the lyrics he wrote, a song of his I really like is "Tangled up in Blue." Hope that is the right name of it, just not much of a big fan of him, he was actually such a big thing for my sister's generation in the 60's, not mine.

Anyhow, cool information!!

Good morning children...take a look out your window, the world is falling...

Yep, that's the correct title.

'knockin' on Heaven's Door' aint no classic; one of the most ponderous and plodding tunes every written by anyone, from old misery guts!

Of course it's a classic. Everybody knows that song.

You obviously don't know the meaning of the word "classic". Maybe you need to ask somone cool Bob is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. Go back to school.

I'm not sure calling Dylan a "Minnesota songwriter" is apt, since Dylan scooted out of the state as soon as he could (age 19).

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.
