The "caliber of disaster"? Lou, millions of people worldwide who honor and respect the man and love his music would ardently disagree. I know I do. Dylan doesn't condone neither does he condemn the use of illegal substances. His music is more complex than that. But I'm sure he'd probably disagree with how our government handles the regulation of pot. And, geeze, don't get mad or anything, but Friday night I'm off to see Dylan perform, and yes, a lot of people will be standing around smoking pot and enjoying themselves. Who cares?
Here are a few words from a song you might like:
"The neighborhood bully
been driven out of every land.
He's wandered the earth an exiled man.
Seen his family scattered,
his people hounded and torn.
He's always on trial for just being born...
He's the neighborhood bully."(Bob Dylan, "Neighborhood Bully" from the album Jokerman)
