Some wingers tried to get Bob Dylan to play at Bush's inaugural. |
|
They tried, but Bob didn't show up.
He did play at Clinton's in 1992.

and played Masters of War with a dedication to Bush and Cheney. Right at the inauguration. That would have been great.

12. Anglophiles! This is a Low... by BLUR......singalong!! |
|
This is a Low, BLUR
And into the sea Goes pretty england and me Round the bay of biscay And back for tea
Hit traffic on the dogger bank Up the thames to find a taxi rank Sail on by with the tide And go to sleep And the radio says...
Chorus: ’this is a low But it won’t hurt you. When you’re alone, It will be there with you, Finding ways to stay solo.’
On the tyne, forth and cromarty, There’s a low in the high forties And saturdays locked away on the pier Not fast enough, dear. And on the malin head, Blackpool looks blue and red And the queen, she’s gone round the bend, Jumped off land’s end. And the radio says...
Repeat chorus
’this is a low, But it won’t hurt you. When you’re alone, It will be there with you. This is a low, But it won’t hurt you. When you’re alone, It will be there with you, Finding ways to stay solo.’
Lot 105
La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la - ha ha La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la - ha ha La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la Eighteen times a week, love Ha ha ha ha ha!

I would have accepted, and played Phil Ochs' "Ringing of Revolution" in it's entirety.

4. One problem the Republicans have |
|
Is that when they have inaugurations, or RNC conventions, for that matter, there is a smaller pool of entertainers who are willing to participate. Very few are Republican, though there are a few, like Mandy Moore, who are Democrat, but will perform out of some sense of duty.
On the other hand when Democrats have an inaugural or a DNC Convention they'll have a very large pool of entertainers to choose from. I mean, Fleetwood Mac got back together in 1993 to play at the Clinton inaugural.

7. My comment after the 2000 inauguration |
|
was that things had improved musically. Fleetwood Mac in 1992 and ZZ Top in 2000. A huge step up in my book. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there, very quickly.

www.rightwingbob.com
The guy who runs the site is a thougtful fellow, and he has some good analysis of some of Bob's songs. But I know that Dylan is not a right winger, not even fucking close.

8. Why did they think he would do it? |
|
I could never see Dylan in cohoots with Bush.

10. They just wanted to prove they could "buy" anyone...particularly |
|
an Icon of the Left.
Bush really resents the 60's, and obviously Dylan too.

11. THat's cause he wasn't cool in the 60's. |
|
He isn't cool in the 80's. He likes this decade because this decade is lame enough for him to be cool.
