“Did you ever hear about the rock and roll singers,
Got three or four Cadillacs
.
Saying power to the people, dance to the music,
Wants you to pat him on the back.” – Van Morrison
Van the Man.
Paul Surinamo He’s a folk singer.
@Pamela Wherey started in folk, moved into rock and roll and many other genres. Anyway, that’s beside the point.
**Tom Morello has entered chat
Van’s not exactly on food stamps…
He’s gathered a fair amount of moss with this deal.

He knows the industry is on life support…….
Smart sale, while the funds are still abound…….
He also knows he’s got not too many years left to live.
the music industry is dead. We can’t even make good & original xmas songs. Xmas songs are the easiest types of songs to make. When you only hear really horrible covers of classic xmas songs, that should be a sign that the music industry is completely dead.
? Every time you stream a song they get paid now. Music industry is exploding and has been for a while now. Everyone involved is making extreme amounts of money. The only ones suffering now are the venues. Artists etc meanwhile are seeing record cash flow.
@TehKaiser yeah well he’s got a kid that’s in elementary school so…
He’s about dead too.
I don’t get why folks are so het up, he is taking his retirement bonus . Bowie did the same thing 20 something years ago and nobody said boo . Go Bob , a lifetime of hard work and genius .
@VuDuVampirNinjaWitch and you have to stop the ones who do not pay taxes. Be well
@VuDuVampirNinjaWitch I think we can all agree on that(well, not the leaches) so let’s focus a little more on what else we might. Just a thought.
@Swamp Yankee and it is an honorable thought.
@Candida prout 😊
@Swamp Yankee 👋👋👋
Ah, that was the publishing rights… not his songwriter’s rights. You go Bob!

He’s cashing out before the chaos starts
Insignificant Other He has to pay off his bunker he’s buying from Gates.
@Pamela Wherey Sad little keyboard warrior. Enjoy the next four BIDEN years. 🙂
I guess he can finally pay his student loan debt.
🤣😂🤣😂
Thou dost rock. 🙂
Why pay it? He already went in 60 minutes and told the world he “sold his soul to the ruler of this world”. He then went on to clarify…it was the devil.
It’s only a matter of time, now, until we hear “Lay Lady Lay” in commercials for Serta mattresses and “Blowin’ In the Wind” in Gas-X commercials…
😥 Anything of the sort will lead me to the competition. I know I’ll have little to no effect but we already live in such a superficial world I can at least keep the commercial world separate from my love of BD in my own small ways.
Can’t say that I’d ever view a movie about either the Dead or Dylan, if created, for different reasons. Just my uninformed 00.02. 1st I’ve seen of this. That said, there’s absolutely nothing that man could do that would make me think him the slightest of sellouts. He’s earned the right to do whatever. Thx Bobby! ✌🏼🤙🏽
As long as “lay lady lay” isnt used by the my pillow nutjob.
Phase 2:
Zima is reintroduced using Bob Dylan songs as their jingle.
Anyone remember it’s Dec 7th Pearl Harbor Day??
I hope nobody’s forgotten! 🇺🇸
Probably looking to make sure his family is taken care of after he’s gone. I don’t get what’s wrong with this. Cash in, invest, and your family will never see another hard day again.
Corporate control is the problem with it. Society is continually selling itself out to corporate entities which gives them way too much power and control over our lives. All small steps in the wrong direction matter. If Bob Dylan doesn’t have enough money to setup his family prior to selling his publishing rights then there is a way bigger issue at play. There is no evidence to suggest that’s why he made the sale though.
It is better that he does it, than his estate!
Bob Dylan: Monies Tight, Times Are Hard, Here’s Your Frickin’ Christmas Card!
What good is to him when he’s dead? Good job Bob.
I guess he’s tired of all those checks cluttering up his mailbox…
Sounds like Bob may be getting his affairs in order. Hopefully he’s just afraid of the virus and not in poor health.
I remember when Michael Jackson out-bid Paul McCartney for the publishing rights to the Beatles catalog for 47m. Paul didn’t like that.
Bob Dylan , one of the greats. Good luck to you. Your music touched my heart.
