One of my favourite musical artists has to be the Freewheelin Bob Dylan. I mean, who doesnt like a three chord progression accompanied by a cracking nasally voice that sounds like someone has taken too much nasal spray and then pinched their nose. And Bob Dylans music is great music to play at the fabbest of parties. Especially when youre trying to slow dance to Idiot Wind (which is like trying to slow dance to Freebird) and youre accidentally stepping on your partners feet because youre a clunky oaf. Then suddenly, its the refrain, and you croon out Youre an iiiiiiiiiiiidiot, babe, its a wonder that you still know how to breathe. And even while youre making a fool of yourself at the party, Bobs still icebox; hes still as cool as hell.
So, I composed some simple steps to help make you a total stud, like Bob and me. Well, maybe you wont be as great as we are, but I guess your coolness will at least let you feel comfortable when you listen to Bobs records. Though, many people fail on this path of enlightenment, for example, Donovan (who has still been trying to promote Hurdy Gurdy Man since 1967). Try if you dare:
1) Change your name. Say your name is something like Alecsander Chixnstixman, then take your first name and shorten it to something with only 3 letters, like Ale and then take your last name out and steal a name from some poet/author. Say you choose someone like Elizabeth Barrett Browning; so then youre new name should be Alec Barrett. REMEMBER! Always choose a writer that is well known and uses long words that no one understands. Itll make you seem smart.
2) Learn the chords A, E, G, C, and D. Then write a song about how much you hate women and problems in society using only three of those 5 chords. Throw in an A minor to stun the audience.
3) Learn how to put a harmonica around your neck. Once youve completed that task, learn how to blow air into the harmonica to produce a wheezing, dying sound.
4) Sing like you have an extreme nasal cavity. Sometimes people will throw money at you to get you to stop.
5) Pretend youre a hobo, even though you wear 200$ Ray Ban glasses and 100$ leather shoes. Pretending youre a hobo will convince people you actually are a hobo. Sometimes they may throw money at you. C:
6) Make up some cool phrases and quotes. YOU NEED TO BE QUOTED. For example say something like A poem is a naked person... Some people say that I am a poet. No one will understand it, but it just makes it seem genius that way.
7) Bash Donovan. Anytime something comes up about him be the first to put him down. The reason for this is because its fun to watch a person, who can describe sunshine in at least 30 different ways, cry. Note: Remember to be more successful than him, but remember that thats not hard since he only had 3 hits.
8) Improve on your grammars. Say words like knowd and phrases like Arent you playing with them no more? People will think youre the next Woody Guthrie!
If these steps fail, then I guess you arent suited to be as cool as Bob and I. Maybe you should give up on becoming cool and sing songs about sipping tea and lazing in the sunshine. At least then you would know that Donovan wants to hang out with you, though that isnt saying much.

I'm not a huge fan, but I do like him.

Tell me when you're finished!

Just the things he says makes me laugh so hard I cry. Like in the film Sunshine Superman. It's so funny.

I wish i was a Warhol silkscreen
Hanging on the wall
Or Little Joe, or maybe Lou
I'd love to be them all.
Then all New York City's broken hearts
And secrets would be mine
I'd put you on a movie reel
And that would be just fine.
But yeah, it's a four hour movie about his life. And, to me, was wonderful. I guess to other people, not so much.

Now, if there were a Sunshine Superman breakfast cereal... that would be pretty cool.

I'm going to write him a letter.
It's going to be like:
"WHERE IS THAT DAMN BREAKFAST CEREAL?" He will reply with:
"Wh- what? :c" And then I will say:
"THE SUNSHINE SUPERMAN BREAKFAST CEREAL."

Don't Look Back has a plot?
"Okay, Bob... here's the plot: you do some drugs and stuff and become a rather troubled man. Do you think you can do that?"
"Watch me!"

In my mind it did cause it was all like. Document my tour. And there's a bit of action and stuff. Where as the Donovan movie is like. Make a film of my face talking. And show some clips of me being young.
I guess you could say that the Donovan one has more of a plot because he's telling his life's story, but Don't Look Back catches the time period in action, so I guess it is more, I guess, for lack of a better word, realistic (because the Donovan movie is certainly realistic).
