| Just read a Maddox (didn't know who they were) post and, boy, is it full of edginess and self confidence to mask that they don't have a good point. Of course it's easy to rant and monologue. Dozens of TV presenters do it but sometimes it's very easy to find fault in their subjectively humorous generalizations. http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=bob_dylan_is_a_podcaster https://youtu.be/MMFj8uDubsE Blowing in the wind, the first song that comes to mind, doesn't fit this at all. A quick Spotify search through the most popular songs and I can't find any in 10-15 that fits that example soundbite he used, to extrapolate this "emperor's got no clothes" argument on bob Dylan. I'm not particularly a fan of Dylan except a song here and there I like (looking at the list), but it just shows the style over substance and strength of argument. To this, someone will call "don't be such a buzzkill, it's just a joke" and that's fine but then you've left the land of making valid points and into the self congratulatory "ironic" content. I didn't miss the point, it seems, but you did miss mine. |
