#Bob Dylan & His Band

One of the many reasons to why George is my favourite musician and artist is the fact that even when he was raised in a small town with many closed thoughts he didn't let that or even the fame construct a image of him as utterly masculine and stereotypical, with his friends (different from Paul) for him showing love to everyone being physically close to them or hugging them no matter the gender, was something normal, a simple act of love.
Just like Olivia once said, George had romantic relationships with all of his friends because he was so full of it that it didn't scared him to show it, being making presents or just giving a hug, he did not let the fragile masculinity and conservative speech stop him from being himself.
And that, for a man raised in the late 50s is something to admire

I think it's really funny that led zeppelin is dean winchester's favorite band because jimmy page was already almost definitely doing black magic in real life so I can't possibly imagine what they would've gotten up to in a universe where demons are actually real
#whenever I watch a show with any sort of supernatural element that also takes place on earth#I wonder to myself what the Implications are for various band members/musicians#like. just limiting this to Supernatural. did bob dylan actually sell his soul then? how did he get out of the 10-year contract?#he should've cameod as a demon like that one time Snooki showed up. not even as a character. as Snooki - who happens to be a demon#led zeppelin#supernatural

So there's this old guy I work with who keeps trying to convert me. And he know I like classic rock, so his main attempt usually revolves around trying to get me to watch some "Jesus Revolution" about Christianity's role in '60s music or whatever.
And tonight, he pulled that shit with me wearing a goddamn Motley Crue shirt right in front of him, like there wasn't a bright red fucking pentagram staring directly into his soul the whole time I was like, "Nope, still haven't watched it, dude. And, unrelated, wouldn't it be weird if 'Mother' by Danzig was one of my favorite songs of all time? That'd be crazy. Anyway, see you around."
#I always get so damn disappointed when I'm talking to someone and I realize they're just doing it to get me to join their church.#Sometimes people pull it out immediately#sometimes it takes a few days or weeks#sometimes it takes years.#But goddammit it never stops sucking. Realizing you're just a mark to these people.#Congrats on being the reason I'm always immediately apprehensive any time someone I'm talking to gives any indication they're Christian.#And you know despite the bright red pentagram staring this guy in the face#the only band t-shirt he's ever outright complained about for religious reasons was my Bob Dylan shirt.#I don't even LIKE Bob Dylan much. This shirt's a hand-me-down. I like two songs of his maybe.#But the second this guy was like 'But he's JEWISH' I was instantly defensive as shit of him.#You gonna start coming up to ME to convert ME to your religion and get mad at me for wearing the shirt of a guy belonging to a different on#you gotta be out of your fuckin' mind.

i'd like to thank the wonderful country of Scotland for taking pity on me and putting this in my hands 🙏

i was trying to order a compilation-book of TeenBeat articles from 1965-1967 at the beginning of the month and had to resort to ordering it from a German book store due to it not being avaliable in the UK... and three weeks later (today), they refund me and canceled my order 😐 probably because they were afraid of my power if i had this image in better quality:


#the power ..... it's too much ........... the validation that eric is indeed the big spoon ..........#in all seriousness i'm sOOOO HAPPY TO HAVE THIS. SOOOOO MANY FUN AND SILLY ARTICLES WITHIN IT AAAA#they mention BOTH animals documentaries in here and it just reminds me of how much i neeeeed to see them.....#so many other artists as well.... freddie and the dreamers rep YAY#and loooots of paul revere and the raiders EPIC#peter noone gets interviewed a ton because of course he does 🙏#even a bob dylan interview??? where he was very cynical and tired THANK YOU BOB.#really love this one article from eric where he talks about enjoying the mix of cultures present in america 😭#there's even a little blurb that mentions his appearance on 'ready steady go!' with otis redding and gathering the new animals together#gOSH REMINDER OF WHAT COULD'VE BEEN. ALAN AND ERIC SHARING A BAND TOGETHER IF IT WASN'T FOR CONTRACTS.#oh well at least i have a non-watermarked soft image of eric peering around alan's shoulder and gently holding him#gGgOSH I AM GOING SUPERNOVA AT THE SIGHT OF THEM#JOHN'S EXPRESSION IS ME LOOKING AT THEM#the animals#animusings#things i said today#aleric#i'd hang this on my wall if i could but it's a big and bulky book so i will manifest that other framed vox advertisement of the animals#the contrast between them.... okay i will have a dr pepper now

Why do you think that John seemed so affected by George's new bonds? George never stopped talking good about him anyway. They didn't fight like George and Paul.
First of all, John had many issues, especially abandonment issues. A lot has been talked about John's problems so I want to focus on George for a bit.
We know that George had many obsessions during his lifetime and there are always jokes about his hyper fixations in the fandom, but it is important to notice that George managed to charm every single object of his affections into a lifetime friendship. Some examples are:
He went from wanting to learn sitar to becoming part of Ravi's family.
Bob Dylan wrote with him, became his friend and even accepted to join a band with George.
George liked Monty Python and Eric Idle was there when he passed away.
George liked F1 races, and many pilots ended up becoming very close friends.
How did George manage to create these bonds with people he was so obsessed over? Without context, George sounds like a stalker in most cases (he video taped Dylan constantly, Eric Idle didn't want to talk to him at first, he offered Ravi money for his first sitar lessons, etc...) but people let him in because all agree that George was sweet, genuinely interested and humble about what he liked. His personality and dedication won over many talented people who appreciated his attention, support and love.
For many years, most of that attention was focused on John but I think that John took it for granted until eventually George's love was also directed to too many places for his taste and the book was probably the definitive proof that George didn't love him like he used to. John went from George following around to communicate mainly through occasional postcards. Now, if we add John's abandonment issues and him over sharing with the press, we get that unfortunate playboy interview that ended up being John's final message to George.
It's not like John lost George's admiration or respect, but he wasn't good at reciprocating it and isolated himself. George then went with people who wanted to be with him and didn't chase after John anymore. George could never have guessed the effect that "omitting" John from his book caused.

Tf2 Mercs and Their Music Tastes but its period accurate
Scout - Mostly just goes with what's popular. Obviously loves Tom Jones and he is his favorite singer, but I think he also likes a lot of other music. He's a huge fan of Frankie Valli, Elvis, and Chuck Berry. He fawns over romantic music, too. IMO Falling in love with you and its his go to romantic song. I think he'd also like the music his mom listens to, like Frank Sinatra and Etta James. Def also gets into disco during the time skip in comic 7. He probably plays his music very loudly and annoys the base when they're trying to sleep. Poor Engie is always the one who has to tell him to turn it down because scout always wakes him up (I actually hc Dell is one of the better mercs when it comes to a sleep schedule but i'll post about the mercs sleeping habits some other time.)
Soldier - HATES THE BEATLES and considers them hippie music (he hates any kind of anti war music in general) I think hes older so wouldn't be a big fan of the music of the 60s, but moreso the big band stuff of the 40s and some patriotic music of course. He'll throw a hissy fit whenever the others suggest playing something else. The only other merc whose music he can tolerate is Demoman's and Engie's (Unless it's bob dylan, who falls under soldier's idea of "hippie music." But Engie also introduced him to Marty Robbins and the song Ain't I Right so...) Sadly idk much about 40s music so I can't say what he'd like in particular.
Pyro - Out of the mercs, Pyro is the least particular about music. Mostly because I imagine the music in pyroland sounds like The Lovin' Spoonful, Tiny Tim, or the Beach Boys. Even hard rock records will sound like cheerful pop to Pyro. I could see pyro liking psychadelic stuff like sniper outside of that. If Pyro is listening to music, Soldier is not allowed in their vicinity. It happened once, Soldier yelled something about hippie music and the base proceeded to catch fire. That was not a fun respawn for Soldier.
Engineer - Pretty much everyone agrees he's a Johnny Cash fan, so I'm going to go into other artists/bands he'd like. Of course, country music is a given, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Marty Robbins ect. But I also think he'd like Folk, Blues, and Southern rock. Stuff like John Fogerty, or Bob Dylan. So a pretty modern music taste considering his age. I do think he likes some of the older music he grew up with, such as the song Uranium Fever.
Heavy - I don't know anything about the Russian music scene and what was popular, so I can't say what he would have listened to growing up or before he came to America. Tbh I think he mostly listens to whatever. Probably got introduced to glam rock via Medic. I think he likes to listen to classical music like Tchaikovsky or Shostakovich when he reads.
Demoman - Kinda extending my reach of period accurate cause it only really came to prominence during comic 7's timeskip, but for some reason I see him liking a lot of punk rock, not sure why. Maybe because a lot of punk bands were from the UK? I think he'd like the Sex Pistols and The Clash. I Think in general he and Sniper have very similar tastes in music (Specifically in Jazz, stuff like Miles Davis and Nucleus) although Demo likes music that's more upbeat. Specifically, there's this proto-punk band called Death I think Demoman would love, but they were super obscure during tf2s time.
Spy - If pyro is the least particular about music, spy is the most particular, even moreso than Soldier. I heard a spy cover of Frank Sinatra, and him liking him just Clicked? He seems like a fan of swing music to me, and probably gave some records to scout when he was young in hopes he's listen to them when he grew older. Maybe he'd also be into more modern/experimental stuff like The Velvet Underground?
Sniper - Tbh I heavily project a lot of my irl music taste onto him. He also enjoys more popular stuff, but not the kind of cheery stuff scout or pyro like. He's more into jazz and rock (esp the more psychadelic stuff like Jimi Hendrix and Cream cause he def smokes) Mainly the rolling stones, Black Sabbath and The Stooges. Like demo, I could see him liking punk when it starts to become known in the mid 70s. I think he'd be a fan of king crimson and some prog stuff too, but I can also see him thinking it's a bit too experimental and pretentious for him. Also since the tf2 comics ended in 1979 its my hc and I can say he likes joy division and dances when nobody is watching.
Medic - Don't have much to say aside from that man is gay as fuck he absolutely listens to Queen and David Bowie. I think when the mercs argue with what to listen to they end up handing the radio to Medic or Scout tbh.
#tf2#team fortress 2#tf2 sniper#tf2 engineer#tf2 headcanons#tf2 medic#lili's rambles#tf2 scout#tf2 pyro#tf2 heavy#tf2 spy#tf2 demoman#tf2 soldier

Call Me
A/N - this is an old fic I decided to rework since I have no ideas for Bob Dylan fics but you guys seem to really want them
Call Me
Info - banter, minor embarrassment, modern au, famous reader, fluff
Your music career was taking off like a jet plane. You were creeping up the charts. People were shocked that a virtual nobody was able to release hits with little to no presence beforehand. Suddenly, you were being asked on shows like Ellen, the Late Show with Seth Myers, and others you'd always dreamed of being invited to. You were beyond excited that everything was going so well.
Right now you were preparing for the Late Late Show. You were looking forward to it immensely. A little while later you were on a soft chair, laughing with James.
"So y/n, you are a self-proclaimed 'music ho', so what kind of music do you like?" James asked jovially.
"Well, I don't know, I can appreciate a lot of different genres," you said.
"Oh, that's a boring answer," James joked. Everyone laughed, including me.
"Okay, I'll help you out," James smiled. "What did you listen to on the way here?" He asked.
"I listened to Bob Dylan ," you admitted with a grin.
"Ohhhhh, good ole BD," James smiled knowingly. "So you're a Bobcat then? Or just a normal, chill, fan?"
"Definitely a Bobcat," you answered quickly. It wasn't a lie, your room at home still was plaster with posters of him, Your personal Tumblr followed hundreds of Dylan blogs. You had all hid albums, and he was by far your most listened to artist in your iTunes library.
"I see." You could see a mischievous twinkle in James's eyes. You knew some more jokes were coming that might make your cheeks turn pink.
"You know I'm very good friends with him,”James informed me.
"Oh I know," you laughed. "I love when he comes on this show, it's always hilarious."
"Well thank you," James said, pressing a hand to his heart with mock bashfulness.
"I bet you didn't know that he’s thinking of adding me to the band," James said with a charming smile.
"Um," you laughed. "I'm pretty sure Bob said that wasn't a possibility," I said giving him an equally charming grin.
"Ohhhhhhhh!" The crowd hooted.
"Well, Bob may have said that with his words, but his eyes say 'yes James, please come save us. We need your creative input and killer high notes."
"Of course," you nodded with a giggle.
"Well, it seems like you like him a lot, and you know him pretty well. Have you ever met Bob?" James asked.
"No, but it is a dream of mine, if I'm being completely honest," you told James.
"Well, I could call him up," before James could even finish his offer the crowd went mad, clapping and screaming with excitement.
"Yeah!" James addressed the crowd happily. "Yeah, I could call him up and set you up together," James said, and the crowd was hooting again.
"Oh that would be mortifying!" You claimed. The idea was intriguing though.
"Oh come on," James saw right through your facade. "You're choosing the easy answer again." You stayed quiet, just smiling at James as the crowd chanted at you to let him.
"Come on," James urged cheerfully.
"I couldn’t ask you to bother him, he’s got enough on his plate.”
"Aw look your eyes went all soft, you really like him!" James was enjoying this immensely. You still felt a bit embarrassed, as if a teacher was talking to you about your crush in front of the class.
"I'm pretty sure he's single now too," James looked around for someone to answer him.
"Yeah, he is," you answered without thinking.
"Well of course you'd know ay," James winked. "Probably biding your time, ready to pounce."
"Oh no," you laughed. "I don't think he'd like me."
"Aw don't be so hard on yourself," James said kindly. "You're a great girl, Bobby would be lucky to have you. Plus you're both very funny."
"Well, thank you," you said graciously.
"Alright, I think that's about all the time that we have. Buy y/n's new single on iTunes, it's a banger! And Bob, if you're watching, y/n is a great girl, and she definitely wants your number."
After that ordeal, you worried that the fans would hate you. Being one yourself, you'd seen first hand how vicious they could get. There were definitely some who were pissed, but a lot of them were saying how they wanted to live vicariously through you. A portion of them even shipped you with Bob, which made you pretty happy.
About a week after that interview, you woke up to thousands of mentions about Bob. Apparently, the band had been on Late Late, and James had talked about you! With shaking fingers you pressed play on the link dozens of people had sent.
"So, were you guys able to catch the show last week?" James was smirking.
"Yeah, actually we were," Bob had a grin on his face, and you imagined he probably knew where this was going.
"Well we had y/n on here, and she said she's a big fan of you," the crowd clapped when they heard your name.
"Yeah, we did manage to see that," Bob said. "And I mean even though she's new and everything, her style is amazing, and it's just awesome to know she was a fan.
"So you like her music then?" James asked.
"I was listening to her album on the way here," Bob said. "Absolutely wonderful, unique sound, good lyrics, it's kinda just, the whole package you know?"
"That's funny because last week she said she was listening to you on the way here," James explained, emphasizing his point with gestures.
"Yeah, well, that's why I did it," Bob said. "I wanted her to know we appreciate her kind words," Bob said then turned in his seat to look at the camera. "So y/n, if you're watching, I love your album, and thanks for supporting us," He gave a bright grin and a thumbs up, and your heart practically melted away.
Bob gave an adorable, tight mouthed smirk to James. The one he used when he knew people were talking about him.
"She had plenty to say about you."
The crowd cheered. He gave a winning smile. James waited patiently for the yells to quiet down so he could pester his interviewee some more.
"So Bob, what do you have to say about what romantic things y/n said?" James asked.
"Well, I love her album. I think she has a really pure voice, very easy on the ears. The production is very good as well. I know I'm rambling a bit here but as someone who often writes lyrics, I'm impressed she writes all her own lyrics because they're quite good."
James sat there staring at Bob with a knowing smile on his face. The crowd tittered with laughter. Bob gave him a smirk back. James began shaking his head.
"Wow, what do you get taught in media training school?" He asked and the crowd laughed more. "I mean that was a lovely response, but not to the question I asked. Them you almost got away with it, you almost distracted me, but I'm on to you."
Bob was blushing a bit though he was trying to hide it. The crowd was roaring with laughter. Your heartbeat was quickening. If you knew James, he'd get a proper answer out of him if it took all night. This kind of gossip and drama was popular, he would want his show to be the one that announced Bob Dylan’s response to a lovesick up and comer.
"All right you got me," Bob admitted.
"Why don't you want to say what you think?" James asked.
"Well, it's kinda embarrassing innit?" Bob quipped. "It's like if your mom asks you if you like a girl at a family dinner or something," he said readjusting the way he sat nervously.
"Come on, she was embarrassed too, but she did it," James urged. Bob just grinned some more. After a bit, it seemed he was finally ready to answer.
"Well, she seems very lovely. She's always polite, and she's quite funny," Bob said kindly. Your heart had practically stopped beating. Could it really be you he was talking about? "And obviously she's very pretty, but I mean, I've never met her so.... but you never know."
"But you wouldn't be opposed to meeting her?" James asked.
"'Course not," Bob smiled. "I think I'd enjoy it, I think we're both going to a red carpet event next week. Maybe I'll be able to catch her there."
"Well," James laughed. "If I'm there I'll make sure of it!"
The clip ended. James had captioned it "can these two just meet already" with the hashtag of your couple name that the fans had created. You felt like you were living someone else's life. Bob had been so sweet as always, and you were so flattered by his words. You hoped you'd be able to finally meet him and the band on the red carpet.
It was true. Both of you would be attending a red carpet event tomorrow. You weren't very vain, but since you could be seeing your favorite artist, you got pretty dressed up.
On the carpet you were signing things, shaking hands, and taking pictures as fast as you could. You glanced over to see Bob Dylan a little ahead of you, doing the same. You tried not to let him distract you and continued to talk to the fans.
Suddenly, a bunch of people started pointing and motioning you to look at something. You turned to see Bob breaking away from the crowd. He was coming over to you! You couldn't move, you felt like your body was on fire. He finally reached you and stuck out a hand.
"Hi," he said in his angelic voice. "I'm Bobby."
You let a wide smile take over your face. Your chest was swelling with happiness. You shook his hand back.
"Seems like a lot of people want us to meet," he laughed.
"Well, I've wanted to meet you for a while," you said, and then cringed inwardly. "Sorry if that sounds weird."
"No, I don't mind," Bob grinned. You and him discussed a few more things until someone said the two of you needed to move along.
"Well, it was nice talking to you," Bob said sweetly. He leaned in and slipped a piece of paper into your hand. He then leaned in a little further and kissed your cheek. He winked as he moved on and went back to join the band.
You smiled and waved as he left. You moved on as well to let more people through. You glanced down at the paper in your hand. In Bob’s familiar handwriting it said, "call me xx," and listed his number. You couldn't help smiling the rest of the night.
