Bob Dylan
lemmings. your leader has given up on you

hahah
twittering is for lonely losers who have no one to text message when they are standing alone and need to look at their phone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

 

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

The Bob DylAlt


[via lookbook]
If u have a relevant circle of friends in ur local alternative community, every1 knows some1 who has implemented the personal brand of Bob Dylan circa 1960/1970. U have 2 have curly brown hair 2 do this, so it's kinda like a 'gift from god' if ur able to pull it off. All u need is to be a lil bit skinnie and wear meaningful black sunglasses. Being a Bob Dylalt probably means that you aren't into anything that is too modern (art, music, recent cinema), and u enjoy being 'vintage' bc things used to be way more authentic back then.

I'm not even sure what Bob Dylan was all about. I think he was about 'authenticity' or something. Only heard like 1 of his songs about being 'like a Rolling Stones' but usually get him confused with Bruce Springsteen.

Didn't he h8 Andy Warhol cuz Warhol was 'too zany' and 'too modern' and 'didn't take the world srsly enuff' and Bob Dylan was kind of like the AnCo of the pre-internet era?

PLZ some1 help me. I don't know much about alternative history. wish there was a class about it at my local community college.

xx bonus Dylan Spawn Meme xx
Does n e 1 know if it is more authentic to be a WallflowerAlt than a BobDylalt?

Bradford Cox plays acoustic set with mad FX pedals, zany winter hat


Bradford Cox of the hit bands 'Atlas Sound' and 'The Deerhunter, alone in the forest' played what seems to be an acoustic set. In order to move away from the traditional 'acoustic guitar bro' vibe, you can see that he utilized a 'sick pedal board', loaded with tons of crazy effects.

In an effort to further differentiate his on-stage brand, he wore a sillie winter hat. Wearing a harmonica also makes him seem like a 'conceptual Bob Dylan.'

Do pedal boards help to build a 'deeper sound?
Or are you more into 'bro in coffee shop' vibe of an untuned, raw guitar?
Will Atlas Sound ever 'chart' in the Billboard top 10, and if he doesn't will his career be viewed as a 'monumental failure'?
