I was thinking more than MN. Mpls/St Paul, more accepted, but not saying much. The coasts, esp CA? Way more accepted.

Ok, I guess I didn’t read your original post that way – and I am not going to pretend I am not biased considering I live about 2.1 miles from the house he grew up in. His parents sold the house to my aunt and uncle and there are some pretty close connections. I grew up with autographed pictures of him laying around in my grandma’s basement and saw boxes of his stuff that was left behind. My cousin’s bedroom had RZ carved into the wood on the wall. My family has a great appreciation for him but nobody would pretend he wasn’t different. Heck, if he walked into a room of people in 2016 and they didn’t know him, most would say the same. The point I am trying to make is he would have likely had a similar experience growing up anywhere in MN at the time, it just happened to be on the Iron Range. Maybe Minneapolis would have been a better fit but I doubt even St Paul would have been much better in the 40’s and 50’s for someone as eccentric as Dylan.

That is hilarious. He got the same reaction 60 years ago on the stage at HHS. See Rube, even LA thinks he is nuts. :lol:

But yes, he has softened some. I know he was back here not to long ago checking out the town with family. It is too bad it wasn’t different for him growing up but that is what made him who he is.

The passing of Prince is one of the rare times that someone you saw up close a few times but never new personally hits you like a ton of bricks. There are not many artists that conjure up more than one lasting memory of your youth, Prince conjures up several.

My brother of all people who was just as likely to blast Van Halen or Skynyrd in the stereo played Controversy for me the first time (maybe it was even [gasp] Dirty Mind) and from there I never stopped being a fan. Learning the lyrics to DMSR, sitting up at night hoping to hear Little Red Corvette on MTV, Purple Rain being the soundtrack of an entire summer and the following school year, Diamonds and Pearls coming out the October of the Twins last WS, asking those around you were watching with, “WTF – was that the greatest half time show ever?”…

I knew Prince was huge but the sentiment that’s been expressed by so many since his announced death has blown me away. I was really mad at myself that the flash drive in my car full of thousands of songs didn’t have any Prince on it and instead all his stuff was at the house. That changed pretty quickly today.

Thanks Prince for so many memories!

Hell he got booed when he first plugged in back in what – 1964? – all the pure folkies who loved him in the coffe shops of NY couldn’t accept he had gone electric. He’s been getting under audiences skin since he started pissing off his neighbors and fellow students in Hibbing! Guy hasn’t changed.

This. This is why I mentioned him “vs” Prince in the first place. He had the ear of a whole generation, and it was more than music. Frankly, if it was only music, I think Prince buries Dylan, and I love me some Dylan.

I think they both had their place in time. Dylan’s strength were his lyrics at a time when people just did nor question authority much – or if they did paid a heavy price – see Selma.

Prince a totally different time – different message. I wouldn’t choose which is the better. Different but powerful.

The thing that makes a talent sui generis is that he brings to the world something original and never done before. Dylan and Prince both can make that claim, and in that way they are alike.

As for Dylan growing up on the range, why not just listen to what he himself has to say about that? He wasn’t being critical when he said (paraphrasing), “There was nothing for me there…I went to New York because I was going to my destiny.” Almost like that scene in Superman, when the high school Clark Kent knew he had to leave Smallville, Kansas, because his destiny awaited him someplace else.

All of these videos surfacing of Prince have been fantastic to watch. That link to Cream in the Pet Peeves thread is fantastic. I also saw a couple of FB shares, including his original performance of Purple Rain at First Ave, that I just haven’t been able to stop listening to

Another song that influenced my musical taste back when I first got MTV on cable…gawd I miss the late 80’s on MTV!

Apologies if this has been talked about already. Thoughts on disturbed’s Simon and garfunkel cover of The Sound of Silence?? I’m a big metal fan, not a big disturbed fan, but this cover is a 10. Disturbed always seemed a little juvenile and meat-headish to me but maybe I should delve deeper.
Also, I laugh thinking about will Ferrell knocking children out of the way after shooting himself with a tranq gun in Old School, falling into a pool, and this song immediately strikes up.

I agree it’s awesome! I’ve been hearing it for a few weeks and love it!! The first time I heard it, I knew I recognized the song, but couldn’t place who sang the original. I was kinda shocked when I realized it was Simon & Garfunkel. :shock:

Like everyone else I’ve been listening to some Prince since he passed. I knew he was a good guitar player but I guess I never realized he was that good. He’s top 10 in my book.

Oh boy here we go again. :lol:

I’m not a Disturbed or Simon and Garfunkel fan and I loved it. So much I downloaded it and forced people at big mistake tailgate to listen to it. Sorry Rube!

We can play it again sometime, and I can point out the exact part where it turned for me. I’m used to hearing it, 93X plays it 5 times a day during my workshift. :lol:

I really don’t analyze music. I either like it or I don’t.

I liked it, until he did something totally annoying with his voice/delivery, hard to describe in print. When listening to it, I can pinpoint it.

It sounds like he’s squeezing out a turd for half the song.

I swear to god I’ll put $50 of 1989 in to the jukebox if you pull that. :lol:

That D’Angelo performance on Fallon the other night of “Sometimes it Snows in April” was absolutely amazing. Got pretty damn dusty in the room during that.

I do like metal. I listen to 93X quite a bit. I just don’t like the bits with excessive unintelligible screaming that ruptures my eardrums.

Never visit Hammerheart brewing.

Classical (minus a few select pieces) and country after 1985 or so (minus a few select pieces) are about the only things I can’t stand.

Been there. But I dislike smoky beer. Can’t recall the music selection at the time however.

And good. More fodder for the DT musicbox!

You will love their chocolate stout that is coming out within the week. My God it’s amazing. But their music is either RAWR or folk. Never know which until you get there.

Hello….you know me. When have I ever drank a stout! :lol:

How can you not like classical? Any of Chopin’s Nocturnes (I like #2 the best), the third and fourth movements of Beethoven’s 9th. I used to listen to classical all the time when I was doing homework back in college. I try to now at work when I want to relax between meetings and whatnot.

I never thought in a million years you’d like the Mango Magnifico, yet you are in search of more.

I like lighter, fruity beers. Usually they are wheat, saison, or sours. Love stuff with pepper. There is a pepper cider in Tampa I would kill to ship up here, but alas they wouldn’t growler it for whatever reason. Stouts, porters, and pretty much anything that tastes hoppy is a no go for me.
Guess I didn’t realize the magnifico was classified as a stout, but then again I’m not very knowledgeable about beer. Much to the dismay of the homebrewer in the house.

The Hammerheart Choc Stout is chocolate. All the chocolate. Better than Boulder Shake Porter. By far. Did I mention it’s chocolate?

A) it’s a stout.
chocolate in liquid form :puke:

Yes I’m weird. Chocolate cake – yes. Chocolate frosting – no. Brownies, fudge, candy/candy bars – yes. Chocolate ice cream, milk, mousse, pudding, syrup – yuck.
Explain that one to me!

I can’t. That’s the weirdest g*ddamn food-related thing I’ve ever heard, and I like flavored mayo yet DESPISE plain mayo!

I’m not denying that!

The 3 minute mark of the song….ugh. That certain voice projecting…..

That was pretty much the harshness I noted too, but personally, I think it works. The original wasn’t quite like that, but even Paul and Art put a bit more edge in their voices during that portion, just nowhere near as much.

I can definitely see why it would bug you, though.

Oh my lord…nice find! You honestly just topped off my night.

If Prince was still alive, these videos wouldn’t be circulating. He may not have had a will but he had plenty of attorneys protecting his creative output.
