Bob Dylan tattoo ideas?
I don't understand the idea of getting a Dylan quote in another language, unless you speak it. It'll just come across as a trite novelty, and take away from Dylan and his thoughts. If it is your language, then fine. But otherwise, Dylan speaks English. I think that if you want a Dylan quote, then it should reflect a bit more of an understanding of Dylan. And yes this is difficult, because he has been so diversified, and is quite the enigma. But I think that if you take a quote from someone, it should be true to the person being quoted at the time of the quote. You could do something in his own handwriting, like 'and http://www.speakwell.com/well/2005autumn... it's a hard rain gonna fall' http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/auct... http://www.gottahaverockandroll.com/LotI... or pick a lyric quote, and have an image that is appropriate to it, and a good font http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/b/bob_dylan.html "que sera sear" and possibly a small dove, would be good too: http://www.dafont.com/ http://images.delphiglass.com/image_new/145760.jpg http://peacescoutsinternational.org/images/SmallDoveBorder.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3664/3407294598_6e7a5ed57d_o.png http://images.faithclipart.com/images/3/1227208958805_428/img_large_watermarked.jpg luck~
What bob Dylan lyrics should I get as a tattoo?
My friend has the words "Desolation Row" tattooed on her foot. I told her she should get the lyrics to the entire song tattooed all over her body but she wouldn't listen :P Maybe "to live outside the law you must be honest", "lord knows i've paid my dues gettin through, tangled up in blue" (i think that would be cool with some kind of tangled viney design) or "everybody must get stoned!" haha. Idk, I guess it all depends on what songs are meaningful to you, I recommend spending a day meditating on some of your favorite Dylan songs :) err...to the above person, all along the watchtower was actually written by Bob Dylan.
Blowin' in the Wind Bob Dylan tattoo idea?
Bob Dylan's song "Blowin' in the Wind" is very important to me. I want to design a *small* tattoo for the back of my shoulder that represents the song. I was thinkin' of a dove with the words "blowin' in the wind" written inside one of its wings or just the words without the dove. I'm open to any other suggestions! And this isn't final...its just an idea so don't go all "you'll regret it....don't get a bob dylan tattoo!" its not like I'm getting a tattoo of his face so please, I'd like some real answers. Thanks. Peace and love from the skies above. Lucy
Second tattoo...Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan?
im planning on getting my second tattoo...and ive decided that i definitely want it to be related to Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan (a song that means more to me than anything else in the world) i need ideas. my boyfriend says he thinks i should just get a simple tambourine, and my best friend thinks i should get a harmonica with a bit of the lyrics around it or something. both of those are good, but i want more choices. anything would be incredibly helpful. thanks! x
Who thought Bob Dylan was cute?
When he was young, heck yes. All that crazy hair and that Andy Samberg-esque nose. Totally cute.
Bob Dylan: Blowin' in the Wind?
"Blowin' In The Wind" is a good song, although nowhere near Dylan's best (for me that would be either "Visions Of Johanna" or "Gates Of Eden") but even Bob himself writes "Blowin'" off as just a "song". He acknowldges its influence, but he has made comments to the effect that he's sorry he wrote it. "Dylan The King Of Protest Music" was a label even Dylan didn't take seriously...he was always a rock and roller at heart; he jumped on the "folkie/protest" bandwagon simply because it was fashionable at the time. Which explains why the diehard folkies freaked when he joined forces with The Band and put on electric concerts in 1966...these concerts singlehandedly marked the transition from "rock 'n' roll" to "Rock" as a serious musical genre. Anyone who has heard the version of "Blowin' In The Wind" on the "Before The Flood" double live album can tell that Dylan himself considers the song to be a crowd pleaser, nothing more. In the end, when it's all written down, I think Dylan will be remembered for "Like A Rolling Stone" more than "Blowin' In The Wind." Overall, I think "Like A Rolling Stone" HAS had more of an impact. I mean, can you see Greil Marcus writing a full book analysis of "Blowin' In The Wind"? (he did for "L.A.R.S.") I doubt it. As hippie dippie as I admit I am, I think "Blowin' In The Wind" is terribly dated.
Do/did any Nobel-laureates have tattoos?
Elie Weisel. Nobel peace prize 1986 While at Auschwitz, his inmate number, "A-7713", was tattooed onto his left armProbably not what you meant but he exists :) Seriously though, I think we'll see them in the future there probably isn't one with a sleeve. Tattoos aren't generally accepted amongst older generations but the incorrect assumption that intelligent or educated people don't get tattoos is failing. I think you'd be surprised to know who has hidden tattoos, none of mine are visible and people are always shocked to know they exists. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...
Who is the greater artist, Mozart or Bob Dylan?
First, we are comparing apples and oranges.People who know Dylan’s work and have studied it agree that he is genius, and significant. The disparaging comments like “He can’t sing” are only from people who don’t understand what he is capable of achieving with his voice… channeling emotion is more significant than just hitting notes like an opera singer.His importance is not about his singing, but his significance in taking the lightheartedness of rock n roll and bringing social content, intellectual content and art to the R&R form. While the Beatles were singing “She Loves You” (yeah yeah yeah) he was singing Hard Rain’s a Gonna Fall, Times Are A-Changing, Chimes of Freedom, and Blowin’ in the Wind. All the social conscience rock flowed out of that. Bringing the folk tradition into R&R elevated Rock and liberated it. He was the catalyst…Much more can be said, and we will let the naysayers say what they will. The Nobel Prize committee only certified what many have known and believed all along.Comparing him to Mozart is a false comparison. (Try Mozart and Beethoven… or Bach… or Chopiin. Still a difficult one, though. Dylan should be compared with Shakespeare…. I’m one who believed his literary achievements will stand the test of time. They are being studied in colleges and schools everywhere… all the way to Harvard. (See “Why Bob Dylan Matter” by Richard Tyler.For what it’s worth, my aim is to sound a different note than those who would disparage the man and his contributions.
