He's truly a literary genius
No wonder he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature even though he never wrote a book
>Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
>That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
>Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
>And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger.
>But you who philosophize, disgrace and criticize all fears,
>Take the rag away from your face, now ain't the time for
Your tears.
His lyrics are peak poetry

Truly a great.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a gypsy queen
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle all dressed in green
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle 'til the moon is blue
Wiggle 'til the moon sees you
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle in your boots and shoes
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, you got nothing to lose
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a swarm of bees
Wiggle on your hands and knees
Wiggle to the front, wiggle to the rear
Wiggle 'til you wiggle right out of here
Wiggle 'til it opens, wiggle 'til it shuts
Wiggle 'til it bites, wiggle 'til it cuts
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle, you can raise the dead
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher
Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Wiggle 'til it whispers, wiggle 'til it hums
Wiggle 'til it answers, wiggle 'til it comes
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like satin and silk
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a pail of milk
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, rattle and shake
Wiggle, like a big fat snake
Mfw I've never heard that song and it still would've taken me years to fully absorb his Visions of Johannas, Jokermans, It's Alright Ma's before I would naturally come upon that one
he has written a book you ignorant pedo. it’s called Tarantula.
Neither one should have gotten it but always thought Leonard Cohen deserved it a hell of allot more. That man wrote some truly preposterous things but he has that Whitman quality with some lines just stay with you.
Christopher Ricks is a great critic but his championing of Dylan really shows the limits of close reading.
Cohen's stuff is meh
Dylan at least deals with political stuff
>at least Dylan deals with the low hanging fruit that will be forgotten after he dies
moron
songs were mostly about inane shit before dylan
You have a very small and limited knowledge of music.
Oh I don't know I was listening to some of his later albums and lines like:
> I see the ghost of culture with numbers on its wrist
> Salute some new conclusion that all of us have missed
Perked me up quite a bit.
That's for being political; lots of writing is political that doesn't make a good. Quite a bit of Dylan's early politics as aged so badly, he seems to spend half of most interviews making excuses for it.
Choen is also quite a bit more varied than Dylan, some of those early songs about suicide is straight up comedies. And he was experimenting with Eastern mysticism, and jazz, and gospel music way before Dylan decided to try his hand at it. I think in general he always feels more fresh to me.
I say this but I actually really like Dylan's last few albums so there is that.
His voice is too shit to listen to
Doesnt appeal to me at all, it is purple shit
>dadrock
Only another decade before all these boomers pass on and we don't have to listen to it anymore
This is grandpa rock at this point, dadrock is limp bizkit.
I'll say it again, IQfy is a Farina board
How? You can't even be bothered to type the tilde.
Well when you put it that way I guess bob's better
I post this every time somebody mentions that israelite zimmerman, Been Down So Long is my favorite book of all time
i miss my adolescence
>rooting for this 'christian' 'poet' in a petpetual hands rubbing motion
Good citizwns of IQfy sucking down the slop of the day and being genuinely happy about it.
Also blm and love is love.
The state of IQfy
You have to go back.
There is nothing more dull than unrefined racism.
Go back to your people.
>he never wrote a book
He has written several.
I like masters of war its a cool song
>peak poetry
This is so cringe, please readmore
I genuinely wonder if we’ll ever see a work of genius in both poetry and music. In my entire life I haven’t heard a song with lyrics better than what you’d find in a community college poetry 101 class. Similarly, the only truly great music seems to be from composers long dead. Dante had a friend who set some of his poems to music, and I’ve heard that Homer was set to music for centuries—but it’s all lost now.
