okay while I’m at it posting spotify links…

#I don’t know why I was surprised to find myself liking this #like John Lennon can make good music?? Yes he made good music with the Beatles why wouldn’t that carry over??#Yes I’m admitting to not having listened to this album in years #almost feel the need to apologize then I remember it’s John Lennon #Spotify

Losing my mind

#violently shaking #freaking out about a decades old cover like it’s big news yeah #Spotify

what crime did tom commit that got him exiled to his own mic while the others have like a three-way vow renewal or something

#he’s in time out for sharing all the dylarrison secrets #the world was not supposed to know about George’s stash of bob bootlegs #the traveling wilburys

george's yellow ruffle shirts appreciation post

bonus: ringo during the mad day out rocking what i think is the same shirt george wore to the US yellow submarine premiere (above), and another (different?) one at the premiere in london!!

#I love the outfit logs because I get to see pictures of the same article of clothing in black and white and color #and even tho I’ve seen them separately for some reason seeing them together sometimes makes me brain explode #I can’t stop my brain from reacting surprised and I don’t know what that says about me but I appreciate it 🫡#also George loves hijacking tv programs…think I saw a interview where he tries throwing to the ad break before the actual host can #george harrison

this reddit post is amazing

#this is exactly how I imagine a Bob Dylan subreddit would be #I remember seeing a post where someone asked if bob ever made anyone question their sexuality so maybe it’s the same perso #bob dylan

wow everyone!! look what bob is wearing here when meeting with bruce springsteen!! it might just be the Dylarrison Scarf. and this picture was taken moments before...

he starts stripping!! have not yet deduced the significance of this, but i'm certain there's something dylarrison related in there somewhere

#but actually why is he stripping??#not that I’m complaining…just curious. like was he just getting ready/changing out of stage outfit #but prev the Bruce Springsteen or dylarrison scarf effect so true #some combination of those two possessed him and he just had to take his clothes off #bob dylan

Bob Dylan is really such a funny dude to exist. you’re a teenager who’s really obsessed with this one folk musician. ok. normal. then you hear said folk musician is in the hospital and what do you do? drop out of college and travel all the way from minnesota to new york to see him. and while you’re there you might as well become a folk singer yourself. okay sure. you sound a little weird but damn can you write. you get signed to a record label. record an album. does pretty well. record another album. does really well. now you’re famous. you go on tour in the uk. you sing at the march on washington. you release another album, and another. you’re the spokesman for a movement, for a generation. you’re a poet. you’re a golden child. thing is, you hate all that. so you learn electric guitar and everyone else hates all that and boos you and you cry but who cares? they can keep booing you, you’re still bob dylan. you keep going with this electric thing. someone calls you judas but at least you’re not christ. oh yeah and you’ve been on and off with the second most famous folk singer of your generation. well that’s over now. you marry someone else. you get in a motorcycle accident. finally a fucking break. you don’t appear in public again until woody guthrie (remember woody guthrie?) dies and you perform at his memorial concert. you change up your musical style. you make friends with george harrison. you’re not getting good reviews but who cares? youre bob dylan. you act in a film. sure. you go on tour again. you’re having problems with your wife. you go on tour again but this time it’s this vaudeville thing and everyone’s on drugs. joan baez is there in drag as you. you make this weird, bad, half-improvised film where you’re there with your ex and your wife. everyone has signed up for these psychological mind games and no one wins. you convert to evangelical christianity. everyone hates it. you drop it. you release some of your most negatively reviewed music. you form the greatest supergroup of all time. great. you have a resurgence in popularity. even better. you get a nobel prize. you don’t even show up to claim it. you’ve been considered one of the greatest musicians of all time for sixty years. they make a movie about you. it stars one of the biggest actors of the day. and now over sixty years after you dropped out of college and traveled to the east coast, people are writing fanfic of you getting topped by johnny cash.

#makes me bang my head against the wall #thank u for writing it all bc yesterday I tried talking to my father about Bob Dylan and I can’t behave normally #bob dylan
