Would you say that to Bob Dylan?
Apparently Joni Mitchell would. Buckle your seat beats, cause Joni's on a tear (again)!

Geniuses are allowed to talk that way about other geniuses.

Roger Ebert did a review of some movie he was in (1/2 star awarded - half of a single star!) , and he seemed completely unimpressed with the man also. It's kind of funny, and very astute.
Bob Dylan idolatry is one of the enduring secular religions of our day. Those who worship him are inexhaustible in their fervor, and every enigmatic syllable of the great poet is cherished and analyzed as if somehow he conceals profound truths in his lyrics, and if we could only decrypt them, they would be the solution to--I dunno, maybe everything. . . I have always felt it ungenerous to have the answer but wrap it in enigmas. When Woody Guthrie, the great man's inspiration, sings a song, you know what it is about. Perhaps Dylan's genius is to take simple ideas and make them impenetrable. Since he cannot really sing, there is the assumption that he cannot be performing to entertain us, and that therefore there must be a deeper purpose. . . That Dylan still exerts a mystical appeal, there can be no doubt. When "Masked and Anonymous" premiered at Sundance 2003, there was a standing ovation when the poet entered the room. People continued to stand during the film, in order to leave, and the auditorium was half empty when the closing credits played to thoughtful silence. http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/...308150303/1023 |

I don't know.. check out his acting chops at :50. Who else could make "I'd hit that" so pensive & evocative? |

On topic- I love Joni. She's one of three artists whom I would be willing to travel across the country for, and Bob Dylan isn't one of the other two. I can't help but read this as jealous and resentful, though. "My name's less not Joni than his name is not Bob..." ... seriously, Roberta, seriously? I think that she's upset about a ton of double standards she's faced in her career, and I think that's fair. What I don't think, though, is that implying Dylan is talent-less is going to give her the recognition she deserves.

I don't like either of these artists at all......but that is sour grapes on Joni's part. Oh well.

Wow. What a... No, I won't say it. You fill in the blank.
I never much cared for her music anyway, but this is just beyond simple disrespect. |

What was it that Stevie said one time about Joni? She said something like Joni is bitter because her career hasn't gone the way she wanted it to.
