Isn't he really old ? Maybe he is too tired to do anything JI7 Sunday #10

He wasn't that old when the fat orange imbecile rode the elevator down in the tRUMP Tower (2015) wolfie001 Sunday #13

Joan Baez and Neil Young are really old too DBoon Sunday #18

Those 2 are great folk singers I respect! wolfie001 Monday #148

I have no Dylan worship beyond respecting his musical past; but we are upset because he allowed song in a Reagan movie? hlthe2b Sunday #19

I guess his not lifting a finger in opposition to rayguns and tRUMP is "No biggie" wolfie001 Sunday #21

You did not read my full post, obviously because I addressed what appears to be his lack of response to Trump, BUT hlthe2b Sunday #24

Correct. Neil Young, for some inexplicable reason was a supporter of Reagan himself Wiz Imp Sunday #49

He probably had Union relatives that got hammered wolfie001 Sunday #113

Neil also has the advantage of being a lot more enjoyable to listen to than Dylan BeyondGeography Tuesday #227

So the thing that got you so hopping mad was a thread that just mentioned Dylan's name muriel_volestrangler Monday #191

I think BD is so far above ANY of the other musicians who performed on that "thing" wolfie001 Tuesday #224

Just stop orangecrush Sunday #27

Why Is He Obligated RobinA Monday #199

My guess would be that he does not speak out because he recognizes that LuckyCharms Sunday #28

One of my favorite Dylan songs, along with this one: MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #120

So here's my take, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #111

So I guess that we should now smear the late Tom Petty because he used Confederate flags MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #116

If he were still alive right now, I think he would've retired that flag wolfie001 Sunday #119

Maybe, maybe not MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #123

That's from 1985 or so wolfie001 Sunday #125
