    The only Dylan I care for are the songs covered by others. Hendrix, Jeff Buckley, Cheap Trick to name a few.

          Anti-Dylan people can all fuck off and die. Your pussy, aging, spandex-sporting, hair-line receding bag of shit Roth doesn't even come close to Dylan's achievements

                    Nah, still sounds like someone who gave up Captain Crunch for granola and walnuts.

                      It seems that Jews may be able to smell if nazi's are around; but it seems that Dylan cannot sense that the PC nazi's are around

                        The suit will be dropped by the Croats if Dylan apologises. I'm curious about what the Zim is gonna do...




                        Croat group says it will drop suit against Bob Dylan if he apologises for 'race slur'

                        Singer could face a jail term and fines over comments he made about Serbs and Croats in a Rolling Stone interview

                        The Croatian community group suing Bob Dylan for incitement to racial hatred said it will drop the case if the legendary singer publicly apologises for allegedly comparing Croatians to the Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan

                        By Rory Mulholland, Paris

                        3:28PM GMT 03 Dec 2013

                        The Croatian community group suing Bob Dylan for incitement to racial hatred said it will drop the case if the legendary singer publicly apologises for allegedly comparing Croatians to the Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.

                        Dylan faces one year in jail and a fine of €45,000 (£37,000) for incitement to racial hatred and six months in jail and a fine of € 22,000 for racial insult if convicted.

                        But the lawyer for the CRICCF, the Croatian community organisation in France suing him, said it did not want the the 72-year-old rocker to go to jail and would be happy with an apology.

                        “If he apologies we will withdraw the suit,” Ivan Jurasinovic told the Telegraph. “The aim is not to hurt anyone but to hopefully have him say that he didn’t mean what he said and that he regrets it.”

                        “He is hugely popular in Croatia and it hurts more to be insulted by someone you appreciate,” he said, adding that his clients had not sought an apology from Dylan before launching their lawsuit.

                        It was revealed on Monday that Dylan had in November been charged over the alleged insults after a legal complaint from the CRICCF over comments he made to Rolling Stone magazine in 2012.

                        The CRICCF was able to take the case in France because the comments were later carried in the French version of the magazine.

                        Dylan made the remark to Rolling Stone magazine as he talked about how he believed that racism was holding back the United States.

                        “If you got a slave master or Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that. That stuff lingers to this day. Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood,” he said.

                        Dylan was informed of the charges against him last month when he was in France for a series of concerts and to receive the country’s prestigious Legion d'Honneur, which can be awarded to foreigners considered to have served France's interests or upheld its values.

                        Croatia’s Ustashe fascist movement killed hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews, and Roma in their concentration camps during World War II. Croatia and Serbia fought after the breakup of Yugoslavia in a 1991-1995 war that left around 20,000 people dead.

                          I hope Dylan won't apologize to Croats.

                          Some nations or provisional governments acted the nazi way over-zealously, and the Croats weren't the last...

                          “The Ustasa government of Croatia built its own concentration camps. By the end of 1942, the Croat authorities had killed more than two-thirds of Croatia's Jews (around 25,000), many of them in the Jasenovac camp system. Croat police and Ustasa militia also killed between 320,000 and 340,000 ethnic Serbs, some of them in Jasenovac, but the majority in the villages in which they resided. Slovak officials deported nearly 80% of the Slovak Jewish population in cooperation with the Germans during 1942.”

                          Ukrainians even disgusted nazis themselves...

                          To perpetrate the Holocaust, Nazi Germany relied on the help of allies and collaborators from across Europe, including governments, institutions, and individuals.


                          To be precise, I'm adding the paragraph about Vichy:

                          The government of Vichy France cooperated with the Germans by enacting the Statut des Juifs (Jewish Law), which defined Jews by race and restricted their rights. Vichy authorities also actively collaborated and even took initiatives by establishing internment camps in southern France, arresting foreign Jews and French Jews, and aiding in the deportation of Jews (mostly foreign Jews residing in France) to killing centers in German-occupied Poland. The Vichy government also turned over to the Germans Spanish and international fighters in defense of the Spanish Republic against the Franco rebels. After Franco's victory and the establishment of a conservative, authoritarian regime in 1939, these so-called Spanish Republicans or “Red Spaniards” had sought refuge in France from certain persecution and possible death if they remained in Spain. After the Vichy French turned over several thousand of the refugees to the Germans, the Germans incarcerated them in concentration camps, where thousands of them died.

                          "ze" Bob could have mentioned it in his interview, no Frenchie would have dared object.
