Bob Dylan Announces First Ever Vietnam Show

Was a soldier for a long time and went to a number of wars - as a grunt and SF soldier. My Vietnam time included part of each year from 64-71 and I was a fan of folk music. I may not have agreed with all the politics but I loved the music and ideas. As for Dylan, I never could figure out why so many revered him or his songs. the only one I ever liked was the one about buring a man with his guns, but then I was also a cop after my military service and understood the idea.

I am just disappointed that it will be for the upper eschelon only....that is the only b*s* thing about this concert.

Sorry Guys.....TYPO.....Make that Khe Sanh

Nothing against Dylan. "We" fought and many died so that he and others had the right to say what they wanted, (right or wrong).

Now in BrianL's case; Stupidity has no bounds. "We" offer you the right to become "Collateral Damage" of the Vietnam War.....ANY TIME...!!!

dennis, you have got to be the biggest idiot ever.....Bob Dylan will be remembered throughout history for things you are too stupid to know about...and for all the Vietnam war bitchers, Bob Dylan broke his neck in July 1966...see how easy it is to get in anything after an injury like that...I was denied getting in the service due to the same...Dylan's only anti-war song was "Master's of War" which is about how big business men inevitably profit from the deaths of others...uh, if you can't see how that works, your pretty idiotic...

1) He never evolved as a protest singer. He was so far beyond that galaxy that it could not contain nor restrain him.

2) The man cannot stay home.
He would play The Moon if there were an audience there.
It is incredible that political forces are allowing him to play China regardless of that Government choosing the set list.
His lyrics are filled with wonder and incite the imagination which is what ignites revolution.
It is wonderful that people of all ages will get to hear and see this once in a century genius.

Is commie jane goin too ???? We can only pray--they stay---------

Most of you are idiots. Dylan's music had nothing to do with Vietnam war in any manner . Maybe your confusing him with Phil Ochs or Joan Baez. Dylan did hundreds of songs, mostly love or songs or tales, or anti love songs. His only war related song was "Master of War" from 1962, before we were even in Vietnam.. So quick to deride some one who did nothing to you, for you, or against you.
