Bob Dylan... My husband was watching rolling thunder revue on Netflix, Omg never knew anything about him before apart from he was an American singer but I think i'm in love!!
If time machines were ever invented i'd go back and kiss him in a heartbeat Blush
I've already listened to about every album I can find, Blonde on blonde is my favorite and I can now say i'm a huge fan!!!
He was gorgeous. Holy shit.
This clip of him... His eyes...
Blushes and runs away into the darkness

Have you seen No Direction Home or read any books about him? He was a total user back in the day and left a lot of people men and women badly hurt. He is amazing and probably a genius and sure he can be whoever you want him to be in your daydream but he wasn’t a very nice person, especially at that age.

THIS is what an actual hot man looks like

He’s off his face - or at least he looks it.

Nah. It for me

@WorraLiberty Who? Who? Who is this other Bob Dylan gusher you speak of?! Shock

Gushing is the word.

LyraBelaqua · 26/10/2020 14:57

I love the song is by Joan Baez called Diamonds and Rust. I believe that’s about Bob and it sounds like he was pretty intoxicating.

marveloustimeruiningeverything · 26/10/2020 14:57

Nope. Wouldn't have looked twice at him.

lotusbell · 26/10/2020 14:58

Never liked his voice and cannot see the attraction but I do admire your devoted and aggressive passion for him, OP! Grin

dolphinpose · 26/10/2020 14:58

@CutToChase - I went out with a complete tosser for a few years because he looked exactly like that. Without the white stripe on the nose, to be fair. But the rest, including clothes, was not far off.

@lotusbell I'm flattered!! I feel like a teenager with how horny I am!!! Grin

@Iminlovewitharockstar that’s what they all think! Also I believe pretty much all his relationships since his marriage ended in the 70s have been with black women.

FatCatThinCat · 26/10/2020 15:00

He’s off his face - or at least he looks it.

I couldn't figure out why it'd be no from me, but this is it. He's utterly vacant. Nothing about him at all.

NameChange84 · 26/10/2020 15:00

Here’s the deal...

You can have him...

If I can have young Bruce Springsteen...

BlueThistles · 26/10/2020 15:01

No not my type at all

pinkearedcow · 26/10/2020 15:02

Yes to Bruce!

Bob looks like a doped up sixth former in that clip.

Iminlovewitharockstar · 26/10/2020 15:02

You can both have Bruce as long as I can have my Bob!!!

It's a good job we all like different things, otherwise there would be one very smug man in the world and all of us fighting over him.

And most men are smug enough, in my opinion.

CounsellorTroi · 26/10/2020 15:04

@Shizzlestix

Probably more of the trembling early finisher sort, before passing out in the fetal position

Pissing myself here! 🤣

If you want serious good looks from 1970”s blokes, look no further than Clint Eastwood, dear Lord, he was HOT!

As was Steve McQueen!
MissConductUS · 26/10/2020 15:04

I'm not feeling it. A younger Harrison Ford, yes. Bob Dylan doesn't start my engine at all.

SlopesOff · 26/10/2020 15:05

He was compared to Donovan, music wise, although not similar.
Donovan, slim, short, dark curly hair, brown eyes. I met him some years ago, he looked even smaller but perfectly formed.

First appeared on Ready Steady Go (1965 I think). Old clips show him wearing his denim cap but this one shows the curly hair and is more recent. Ignore the wailing of Crystal Gail if you can.

feelingverylazytoday · 26/10/2020 15:05

There are a couple of decent photos of him, but he wasn't exactly a sex symbol, and he was never presented as one. But if you like him in that way, then good for you OP. I suspect you're in the minority though.
