You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: Mad Stork Subject: RE: Bob Dylan -- is his music intentionally bad for ironic purposes? Body: Reminds me of the book Infinite Jest. One of the characters in the book is a former avant-garde filmmaker who came up with an idea for "films" where there nothing was actually filmed and there was no audience. The whole idea being to play a joke on pretentious critics, who praised the idea for its "avante-garde neorealsim." Basically creation of something so completely meaningless and devoid of substance that pseudo-intellectuals will try to ascribe some deep meaning to it. I don't think that Dylan was doing anything like this or that he was bad for the sake of irony, but I do sometimes wonder if some musicians and artists make people think that they're deep just by spewing nonsense.
