Well, the easy pick is you could just update Hurricane and relate it Katrina.

Um, I would settle for something emotionally satisfying, something that makes me think, “Oh, there is somebody else who is going through life feeling like I do.”

With all due respect, his recent material seems very formula. There’s no danger anymore, no rock rebellion, no howl. Bring back the anger.

Hurrican Katrina?! zzzzzzz that’s less social injustice more stupidity on a grand scale.

How about the plight of Fu Xiancai, the Chinese activist who was beaten into a state of paralysis last June by the police who said he inflicted the injuries on himself. Could be called Red Army

Current immigration laws is quite the talk in my office. A few make it a point to say to me we aren’t just targeting Mexicans… uh yeah you are. Nobody complains local markets called Little Italy or China. Officers turn a blind eye so we can pick your fruit, you better believe it ‘cos its happening.

I’d have him write an apology for “Hurricane”. Rubin Carter was a cold blooded killer and Dylan made a genuine ass of himself with that shitty, shitty song.

Wait a minut! I fucked up! “Joey” is the song about a murderer on that album, not “Hurricane”. But “Hurricane” still reeks.

Dylan will never again write a song like Hurricane. Didn’t you all read Chronicles Vol 1? He says he hates that label of being the “Spokesman of a Generation.” People who say “Bring back the Anger” don’t really understand why Dylan’s so great. He does what he wants when he wants. And he doesn’t do requests on tour, either. Modern Times is as political and as angry as it gets. Maybe you all just haven’t listened to it.

Gee, Lance thanks for enlightening us because we aren’t Dylan aficionados. We are just here to answer a random poll.

Dylan would speak about angry maladjusted people with no sense of humor or imagination.

Interracial love.

“The Ballad of Alicia Keys”

He should sing of visionary guitarists who replace part of their rhythm section with their 16-year-old kid.

I say “The Ballad of Mad Anthony” your time has come!

It’s everywhere! The Van Halen tour has conquered America without ever actually taking place. Just think what would happen if Eddie woke up from his self induced coma and showed everybody he still knows how to kick a Stratocaster’s ass. Holy fucking shit a rock and roll band that actually knows how to play their instruments. Well! What a novel idea…

Why not write “The Ballad of Al Sharpton”? Al just discovered he’s somehow related to former Sen. Strom Thurmond, who ran for President in 1948 on the Segragationist ticket. Irony’s always been one of Dylan’s strong suits anyhow.

Shrimp Boats Need Wheels, Rebuild the Wetlands. There’s a storm a comin’ that trains already left.

Acid rain/global warming.

Call the song “Rainy Day Women #46 and 94″

he should write an elegy for his voice.

michael jackson getting off scott free.. he could cal it either Just like a women or girl from the north country…whichever suits jackson better

He needs to redo “Hurricane” and replace his purely fanciful lyrics with ones that are true to the facts. Well-crafted song but complete bullshit.”George Jackson” could be the #2 choice with the same instructions. I often wonder if all of Bob’s truly humilitating episodes of social whinning like the above come from genuinely good,though uniformed,intentions or if he is as shamefully patronizing as he seems to be. Something new? How about “The Howl of the Snoop” to show the brutal scrutiny and torment that poor sufferer goes through in every country’s customs check because they object to illicit dope and weapons in the overnight case. The injustice of it all. Bob! Do something!

acid rain- a hard rains a -gonna fall
