There is no reason that an otherwise good station such as the Garage channel on Sirius XM should play "Walk Like an Egyptian."
Probably only a couple Dylan threads exist where you and others haven't popped in to bitch about him.Wolter wrote:I know, persecuted minority and all...eumaas wrote:Probably because we have to take a constant stream of shit about him on this board since forever?Wolter wrote:But he writes a better song than Dylan.eumaas wrote:Elvis Costello can't sing.Wolter wrote:Youse Dylan nerds are so easy to rile up.
Seriously, you Dylan fans get so humorless about him.
I bet Dylan gets more praise than blame on these boards.

I'll bet if people did that for, say, Elvis Costello or Tom Waits, after a few years you'd start to get a little defensive too.
It's funny because the complaint me and eumaas have isn't even that people don't like him, it's that people should just be more honest about the subjectivity of their tastes - which is something you normally get behind.
