Definitely the right thread for this IMO. 

 

I think of him almost like a cartoon villain.

Practically all cryptocurrency schemes are pyramid schemes which are great if you have insider information or are insanely lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, and an absolute con if you don't or aren't.

A lot of crypto is essentially some rich people building hype before they rug pull

Pump and dump is one of the classic scams. This is just the latest slightly more sophisticated iteration thereof.

Isn't capitalism essentially the exploitation of the have-nots by the haves?

Yup and if you study economics and follow the money you'll realise the game is far more rigged and horrible than any work of fiction or dystopian movie.

Don’t wanna get too extreme but yeh. Why we all getting jazzed up about crypto when we have pumped the value of gold up to nearly $3k per ounce just because it’s shiny. What utility does gold offer? Not even a yield.

Bob Dylan is a shitcunt. 
 

He’s a complete and utter fraud. He’s a copycat. He’s a sell out. He’s just a greedy, cynical old git.

 

And please explain how it’s physically possible to have been a touring musician for 80 years or whatever and yet somehow fail to learn to play his instruments competently.

 

Thats not to mention how his singing voice can only reasonably be described as unpleasant. 

 

Total egomaniac and complete con artist.
 

He only gets away with it because people within music critic circles are too scared to criticise him because they’ll be castigated by their peers.

 

It’s music nerd lore that you have to consider him some sort of demigod.

 

He’s not a demigod, he’s a silly old twat.

If he turned up in a pub anonymously, wailing like he does and mangling his guitar, he’d get told to shut the **** up - and rightly so.

Its a bit nonsense the price of gold is where it is mainly due to China getting out of USD, but Gold is actually a very useful metal.  Excellent conducting capabilities and doesn't rust for a start.  Soft so good for filling etc.  None of that pushes the price to 3k though.

I’m not finished with this cretin. Here is my Zimmerman Cult Cliche Dictionary:

 

Enigmatic = A rude, nasty cùnt to anybody who tries to interview him. 

Raw = Lazy and arrogant. Puts out complete dross because he can’t be arsed to do any better.

Pioneering = Heavily promoted by his record labels.

’In the folk tradition’ = A serial plagiarist.

Mystique = A directionless shapeshifter with no convictions.

Idiosyncratic = Utterly dreadful.

Same. I really hope he win the Australian Open, especially now with Murray in his corner,  two of the anti norm types in tennis

To me, he sounds like a one man band singing for money in Leicester Square.

 

Having said that, you are so wrong.

 

Why is he a "copycat"?

 

Have you actually listened to his lyrics?

 

His songs are among the most recorded by other artists including "Feel My Love " by Adele.

 

He would probably admit he didn't have the best voice but his contribution to music is exceptional.

Not sure, but I reckon we can get the next one closed sub-100 if we try a bit harder.
