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

Just seen Axl, yes he was gorgeous, shame really, he didn't need all that surgery he would've aged beautifully!!

If 70s dark curly mops are your thing I give you Leo Sayer

Billy Idol had perfect looks back in the day

MiniTheMinx · 26/10/2020 16:31

Nah, you're welcome to Bob, I'd rather Jim Morrison

less effeminate and submissive, the music is less dreary too.
AhFiddledeedee · 26/10/2020 16:33

Nah, not for me.

Though Paul Newman and Marlon Brando were good looking in their youth...

LimitIsUp · 26/10/2020 16:34

Looks nerdy too me, like a Physics graduate

LimitIsUp · 26/10/2020 16:34

'to' me

ClementineWoolysocks · 26/10/2020 16:36

Not if he were the last man on Earth.

ssd · 26/10/2020 16:36

Oh god no, not my type at all. I like men to look like men. Bob Dylan, great music but I just want to cut his hair.

MrsAvocet · 26/10/2020 16:37

Indeed augustusglupe its hard to believe he is the same person now. My DS begged me to get tickets for one of next year's Gn'R gigs but I can't bear to have my youthful memories shattered. (Too bloody expensive anyway!)
I had a bit of a thing about Izzy too, and he's aged a bit better. But then he always was the (relatively) sane one.

Sparklfairy · 26/10/2020 16:38

Am I the only one that is reminded of Prince with his facial expressions and mannerisms?

RedRec · 26/10/2020 16:39

Just listen to him singing 'I Want You'. That should do it for you even more.

Ffsseriously · 26/10/2020 16:40

Has anyone seen the amazing rich hall song about dylan GrinGrin marvellous stuff

midsomermurderess · 26/10/2020 16:42

I agree with a PP about Robbie Robertson. Rick Danko was very cute too.

Rainbowcoffee · 26/10/2020 16:43

Saw him live a few years back. Was lucky enough to have front row seats and he made eye contact... and yes I so would Grin

@LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett - ''Adam Ant on the other hand ... I loved him but was a tiny bit too young to realise just how hot he was.''

Same! I used to watch the stand and deliver video with equal senses of excitement and confusion about why i wanted to keep watching Grin Bless Grin

Bod does nothing for me.

Laiste · 26/10/2020 16:45

Bod? LOL Bob.

oakleaffy · 26/10/2020 16:46

@Cableknitskirt

He was attractive yes, but he isn’t the sort of guy who makes a good boyfriend.
Agree! Much like Eric Clapton.

He was awful to poor Alice Ormsby Gore.

BigBadVoodooHat · 26/10/2020 16:48

Haven’t RTFT, but can I interest anyone in a young Syd Barrett?

Bob = no.
Robbie Robertson = hell yes!

Jim Morrison in his heyday was stunning.

Navillerax · 26/10/2020 16:50

Yes, Bob Dylan in his youth was definitely my type! I like to think my partner looks a little like him, but it's probably because he's slim, boyish looking and has a mop of dark hair Grin

Benjispruce2 · 26/10/2020 16:50

Nah not for me. Thought you were gonna say Elvis.

DefinitelyPossiblyMaybe · 26/10/2020 16:50

Does nothing to float my boat OP, but thanks for the thread, it's given me such a laugh. Now a young Mel Gibson get the sap rising.....

Bod does nothing for me.
To be fair, I think he'd be quite a niche crush.Grin
