the national and bon iver stole taylor swift

might be she is the Bob Dylan of this age and our biased ears just won't listen "You kids get off my ...."

where's lord henry?

Didn't Bobby do some really boring stuff with the National too?

bobby is boring

"gasp....."

The National backed Bobby on some tracks off of his Cowboy album. Talk about boring...

The National was Bob's back up band at Hardly Strictly one year. It was actually a fun day.

NRPS>Hot Tuna>Bob Weir all on the same stage(it was nice to stay put rather than trudging through the crowd to get  shitty spot at the next stage)

I normally don't drink whiskey but the bottle was passed around our group that day

So by the time Weir broke into Led Zep's Kashmir I was in a receptive mood

Couldn't help thinking that there's no way Zepplin would cover a Dead song.

I found it odd that at the age of 79 Dylan decided to sell his catalogue. Maybe he had some kind of debts we don't know about.

^more likely the decided that giving money to his heirs was preferable to giving them the publishing rights to catalog.

He already had a lot of money to give them. It was just greed. All good, I guess.

It's his catalog to do what the hell he wants with. How is it greedy for him to sell it?

300 mil.....

Not greed? He can do what he wants. I just find it odd. 

Funny, I thought that $300 million was a low number for his entire catalog.

Would it have been less greedy of him to sell it for $50 million, knowing that the buyer would make $500 million off it?

Again, how is it greedy? It's his art to sell. He didn't step on the little man to create it. He isn't taking away from anyone. You have no idea what he plans to do with his proceeds.

He was already at an estimated 200 mil in worth. Maybe you need to look up the definition for "greed". It doesn't matter if it were his or not. It's still greed. Look it up.

So, someone selling their life's work for a fair market value is greed? What should he have sold it for?

Taylor Swift is much prettier than Bob Dylan. That's got to count for something.

greed

/ɡrēd/

noun

intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.

"mercenaries who had allowed greed to overtake their principles"

Dishonest banks who give people mortgages that the banks know they cannot afford just so the bank can make money and foreclosure on the house.

Dishonest credit card companies that set up a system of changing payment dates without making it obvious to customers to encourage defaults so that very high interest rates can be charged.

Dishonest companies that take government bailouts and then give multi-million dollar bonuses to executives that ran the company into the ground.

Dishonest people like Bernie Madoff who set up pyramid

schemes to steal money from investors.

Dishonest banks that set up a scheme to cash larger checks first so that people bounce many smaller checks and are subject to large per check penalty fees as a result.

Dylan's sale didn't fit the definition of greed, nor could it be used as an example of such. Conversely, Led Zeppelin stealing someone's song, making a mint off it, and then fighting them in court is "greedy."

>He already had a lot of money to give them. It was just greed. All good, I guess<

The publishing rights to his catalog was still part of his estate, he could leave his heirs the job of managing the catalog, or just divide up the cash... cash is easier. 

^^2.9

You're losing it, bud. He did it for an extreme amount of wealth. Anyways, I'm sure you can find someone else to argue with on the inter webs today, BK. Have a good one.

You told me to look it up. I did. It showed that you're a dope. No sweat off my balls, kid. Not on the melt scale at all.

Worth 200 mil> Sells something for 300 mil> Selfish desire for wealth 

Your last babbling post incorrectly trying to redefine "greed" >meltdown.
 

You not being able to understand simple words and still act like a stubborn little baby > priceless

I didn't redefine it. I copied and pasted the definition and examples from the dictionary. Lol

I think that your crying for again being wrong is the melt. But hey, you do you.

Every time you resort to calling names you're melting. 

Do You kids think that Timpy has any hobbies?

> Every time you resort to calling names you're melting.

BK is right. Name calling is a clear indicator of a melt, but it's also a tacit acknowledgment that your argument is failing.

Nonsense.

"Gregulator is a fuckwit" kinda shoots that theory down.

Also.  The recent spate of catalog sales is about capital gains taxes and how to potentially minimize them.

>>>>how many boring ass albums r they gonna make together?................I haven't heard the latest album yet but what's the deal?

Well, then how do you know if it's boring-ass?   Do you miss her pop?   Both albums had rave reviews and I think it's great that she reinvented herself.   I'm intrigued as to what she does next and ...to your last point.... I don't even listen to her music.  

BK doesn't know what "melting" means either. Guy has been running around on the zone calling people names all day lol. Fucking old lames can dish it out but can't take it in. 
 

Time to change your shitbag. Getting pretty full

Were you diagnosed with Oppositional Defiance Disorder as a child? Under-developed executive functioning?

I do know what a melt is. Your last post pretty much exemplifies one.

I do know what a melt is>>
 

I really don't think you do. It's all good man. You're zoning just still in need of some work.

Threads about ass cleaning are the best you have to offer right now. Just sayin

I thought about why Dylan sold it too. The only thing I could come up with is that he didn't want his heirs to have to deal with the negative press of selling his songs. All the Dylan would be rolling in his grave shit that would have happened when the inevitable ads start to run. Now the decision is on Dylan and the heirs get to just enjoy the money. Or he saw a house he wanted to buy and needed the money. 

So, back to my original question, Timpy, what should he have done with his catalog? You called him greedy. Give an alternative that would pay him fair value but wouldn't be greedy.

Again, I found it odd that he sold it. He doesn't need the money and most likely his music will now be featured and prostituted all over the commercial trash world. It's his shit he can do what he wants, but now you'll prob hear his music in some terrible Disney shows and stuff like that.

You can protest by not consuming terrible Disney shows and stuff like that.

I guess I stopped noticing. Aren't Dylan songs already in commercials?

It'll be really bad when Neil Young sells the rights to "This Note's for You."

Interesting segue bask to Taylor Swift. I guess Scooter Braun owns the rights to her first 2 albums, not the songs themselves, but the albums. She's remaking and re-releasing both of those albums, so that she gets the proceeds.

The music industry is strange.

 Bon Iver is a snooze fest.  I've tried.

Did Disney buy Taylor Swift yet?

Actually, interestingly enough Universal is the distributor for her record label. She will probably do some horrible Dylan covers in her next album.
