No.
But we all know what he has performed and written about war. And just
as when he writes about murder or love we don't assume it is an act of
murder or love he has committed, we assume it is meant to give insight
into what people do. Think. Say.
Bob Dylan on war [remember you ONLY post the words of Bob Dylan,
nothing else]
is a thread where you only post Bob Dylan's words, written, composed,
performed, borrowed from others, but his words.
If by mistake you add your own words e-mail me and I'll explain how to
cancel a post, obviously you don't want to look so stupid you cannot
even follow a UseNet News thread, but it is easy to post without
thinking.
So post words of Bob Dylan you think relate to war. There are many
sources, if you simply Google search a phrase you may get lyrics, or
use the site
http://search.bobdylan.com/lyricsearch/
or one of the more serious lyric sites with a greater proportion of
his work. Post as often as you like. As hard as you like. But only
the words of Bob Dylan, not one word of commentary. We will each read
those words and see what we see. Is he mocking those who believe in
war? Is he praising them? Let his words speak to you.
My advisers tell me we might get some interesting posts, plus some of
the most moronic reactions the world has seen ignoring the point of
the thread. Well as they say in the wild west, "Make my day!" ;-)
