Expecting Rain

when half of your replys are dylan quotes

You keep checking into the "Visions" thread to see if it is back up....

I HAVE seen the movie several times, but the opener WILL wake me up IF I am asleep and I get up and just watch the beginning. Actually, if I am sleeping and ANY Bob song comes on a movie somebody in the house is watching, I think I wake up. He is just wired into my brain now! Love, Joanna XOXO P.S. Also, somebody says something and it is from a Dylan song or very similar to a Dylan lyric, and you look at them and tell them exactly what song that is, what album, and what the right lyrics are.

That movie introduced me to Bob, and I love the movie as a whole now. Of course, it being a great movie also helps.

....You have a library card to Johanna Parker's book collection.

You only watch and generally like Adam Sandler movies because he reminds you of Dylan.

when you seriously consider the idea of painting a big dylan stage on your wall as a mural and have the rest of the room be the audience.. painting friends in as you meet them. seriously. im too old to be thinking this way.

It's actually a pretty good idea.

if im in dont forget the cigar and shades.

aw thanks! i put the idea to my mother, and at 80 yrs old..she looked me in the eye..and said.. you are KIDDING...right? when i suggested doing the whole house in a jungle theme. She then proclaimed that i Could do it.. over her dead body... so now i keep lookin at her and she keeps lookin at me ...breathing.. sigh.
Im a 53 yr old teenager. How did this happen? can i blame bob? Think hed mind?

When all your twitter posts are Dylan quotes, most of them aren't even attributed to Dylan because you think you came up with them.

goombay, ill have to look for pics of you in the thread for photos of people here. theres only a hundred or two pages.. so ill paint you next to Barefoot..i dont know which of you is taller right now. I think ill make Barefoot really short.

i don't think there any photos of me there. all you gotta remember is the cigar and the shades.
and hair, gimme hair.

You read Dylan lyric based children's books to your three year old at bedtime.

- You start crossing your legs tight just to emulate 60s Bob (and Woody Allen to a certain extent) even though your girlfriend complains that it's too effeminate.

-You've seriously considered getting a perm.

-On a roadtrip with the girlfriend, she complains that we're listening to too much Dylan, I reach for the stereo and say "Play it x loud!" as I turn up the volume.

- Your last.fm listening stats look like this:

-You bought the Triumph T-Shirt just so you could recreate the Highway 61 cover when you visit NYC.

The list goes on...

....... if you go out and buy all the ludicrous merchandise that has nothing at all to do with the music (or art) and everything to do with branding, commerce, profit at any cost.

ive loved blobby most of my life but it saddens me to see how low this has gone - for reference though it should be pointed out that cbs tried flogging dylan 'hobo hats' way back in the early 60's - nothing new under the sun. there are pix of the old merch if anyone cares to dig one out....

You spend hours and hours during several days listening to Tempest.

only to discover it was entirely written by a shanghai street-fighter called wussiepussiemofo... he has certainly pulled a fast one this time! that dratted blob, they seek him here, they seek him there.....

When you buy 3 sets of each new Dylan album. 2 for the cars and one to listen at home!

omg hahaha

...you are ready for the next release within weeks of the last.

When a girl in your class that you like doesn't like Bob and get really pissed...so you decide to write a list of songs she'll like, beginning with Is Your Love In Vain?

when it's fundamental to you that someone you care understands your appreciation to Bob and how it changed your life.
