Did you see the television last night? It showed Barack Obama singing and stuff with Morgan Freeman and other black people and John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan, who used to write songs about black people. Fwd to white grandma! [YouTube]

Wait, shouldn’t Ken be writing any post that mentions Dylan?
Dylan is actually in this video? This was in DC? I’m kinda confused here, are the times a’changin’ or not?
I really think that this isn’t the greatest PR the prez could be doing right now. How about a monthly WH dinner with some struggling families?
And Nancy Reagan is rolling over in her grave!
Unbelievable. Singing is such an insult to the troops.
Yeah, yeah, whatever. Where’s my Health Care Reform, beyotch!
I’ve heard that he also pretends to pray, to the real, Christian God anyway.
Is Rome burning? Did I miss something?
Shameful. With all the problems in America today, why isn’t this muslin socialist using his free time to clear brush on his ranch?

If Barack Obama covers “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” then I am so buying that album.
With all those glorious old
has-beensmusic legends there, I somehow expected Elvis Costello to pop up in there, somewhere.I loves me some Bob Dylan, almost as much as Ken, but what he does now can’t really be called “singing.”
[re=510609]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Speak thou not ill of the husband of Diana Krall. Or the writer of “Veronica,” for that matter.
Also, if Nancy Reagan had Smokey Robinson’s plastic surgeon, she’d look like Lady Gaga.
[re=510619]V572625694[/re]: I saw him twenty years ago. Judging from this clip, he’s orders of magnitude better now.
[re=510609]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Hey! Elvis may tread into Adult-Contemporary territory a little too often, but I’ll listen to him rock out “Blame it on Cain” or “Waiting til the End of the World” until he’s 120. Ms. Krall is just bonus points. And… Dylan never could sing! There, I said it!!!
I think Dylan suffers from the same music disease as Leonard Cohen: their songs always sound better when someone else performs them.

They both caught it from Schubert.
There is a guy out there on the internets who still clings to the idea that Bob is still a born again Christian and that all of Dylan’s songs are secret right wing messages to right wing born again pro corporate white people all over real America, and he runs a website that “interprets” all of Bob’s interviews and stuff to suss out the secret right wing messages. Yes it is creepy and don’t ask me for the web addy cuz I don’t want to send him any traffic.
Anyways the best he could come up with about this event was that it snowed so global warming is fake yadda yadda yadda.

Perhaps we should do an EMF scan…
[re=510579]Darkness[/re]: Come to think of it, a choir made up of homeless vets would probably rock my socks off.
[re=510669]rottenart[/re]: Ouch!
Meanwhile, does anybody else think Mandela’s just countin’ the days till his Oxar?
[re=510665]Gorillionaire[/re]: I read or heard something about 30 years ago that said Bob couldn’t be a born-again xtian, but rather a born-again jew for jesus. I was stoned as hell when I heard that, but it made sense at the time.
Aw, geez.
Smokey got me cryin’ over here.
I’m such a dope.
[re=510699]Jim89048[/re]: [re=510665]Gorillionaire[/re]: The definitive literature on the subject.
[re=510609]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Elvis Costello. Caught his show “Spectacle” a coupla times. The only spectacle is that damn hat he insists on wearing to cover up his balding noggin.
Wait… does Barry have BLACK_PAINTED fingernails with which he is digging into his cosinger’s shoulders in the last seconds???
