I remember when some posters suggested he was MAGA Adjacent. Doesn't seem very MAGA Adjacent to me.

(1,461 posts)He never sounded the same afterwards. He sounded more nasally after the accident. Just my opinion.

(7 posts)"Blonde on Blonde" (and "Highway 61," which were probably both recorded in 1965) have Dylan's voice turning nasally. That was the characteristic sound on songs like "Rainy Day Women" and "Visions of Johanna."
Dylan's early voice was quite rich/resonant. He is known more for the nasally sound but that was pre-accident! After the accident he made a couple of albums to close out the '60s. "Lay, Lady, Lay" sounds completely different vocally! It reminds me of Andy Kaufman or something.
You really do seem to be dissing Dylan here...

(9,364 posts)I totally understand folks wanting to watch these legendary artists bringing focus on what is becoming a crisis, and being angry at the rock solid support of the MAGA movement because of their brainwashed hatred of THE OTHER. WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!

(102,012 posts)He's always been an eccentric guy and I believe some of it is deliberate. That being said, he is one of the most impactful artists of the twentieth century.
