Sure. But saying he "can't sing" is about the same level of artistic critique as the other two things.Wolter wrote:It means you're just going to have to deal with that fact that not everyone likes him.Flex wrote:I think it means he's not being "authentic" or maybe he's being too "self indulgent."eumaas wrote:What does "can't sing" mean?
Addendum: Saying "I don't like his voice" would be a less meaningless statement.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I'm fine with "I don't like Bob Dylan." "Bob Dylan can't sing" on the other hand is a different kind of proposition.Wolter wrote:It means you're just going to have to deal with that fact that not everyone likes him.Flex wrote:I think it means he's not being "authentic" or maybe he's being too "self indulgent."eumaas wrote:What does "can't sing" mean?
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
An observation: This Fat Wrecktrospective is fun listening, although it doesn't inspire me to check out too many of the bands. It does remind me that I should pick up some Mad Caddies, tho. And maybe some Tilt.

I bet Dylan gets more praise than blame on these boards.
