Most overrated band of all time?

[Burney]

THis is the point. THat is what he is like. You just have to respect the artistic process I suppose....

Yes, this is why I'm not interested in live music. If I pay for a product, as a consumer I want that product, not what some cvnt of a jumped-up busker thinks I should get because some cvnt told him he was an artist and he swallowed it.

If I go to a concert and you decide to play my favourite song in half-time or as a fvcking calypso, I'm not going to be happy and I'm definitely not coming back.

I made a similar comment about Springsteen's insistence on using THunder Road as an acoustic singalong party piece at the end of every ****ing gig. But then, you know, its his gig an all that.

But it's not his gig, is it? It's the gig of the paying customers, isn't it? If I go to the butcher to buy some chops and he insists on selling them to me pre-minted, I'm not going to say 'It's his gig', am I? I'm going to tell him to fvck off and buy my chops elsewhere. Why should I be expected to put up with similar arrogance from Bruce fvcking Springsteen?

Because he is The Boss?

A musical Paul Ince if you will.

He is not the Boss of me, sw. Not by a long chalk.

Of course, the worst man for this is Dylan. I simply cannot understand why anyone who loves any of Dylan's songs would go to see him live given that he invariably renders them unrecognisable.

Fair point. I love Dylan but have never been terribly interested in seeing him live. My regret is never seeing Leonard Cohen live.

For me, it seems pretty obvious that Dylan has simply been taking the p1ss out of his live audiences for decades now. The fact that they keep coming back for more must be a constant source of amusement to the miserable old cvnt.

I saw him a year or so ago. Now I'm far from the world's greatest Dylan fan, but, you know, it was Bob fúcking Dylan. Wearing a dude suit and a fúck off hat. With a really tight band.

It's a rock n roll show dude. Whaddya want?

I went along to see Neil Young a few years back and there was nearly an uprising as he didn't play Harvest or whatever specific album people wanted to hear, despite the gig being very clearly labelled as being him and Crazy Horse.

There was letters to the Irish Times and all I think.

I saw him in Finsbury Park. Very boring, it went on and on and on. THe Waterboys were supporting- they were superb.
