Bob Dylan's harsh response

With a long interview in the magazine "Rolling Stone" which is released on Friday, the legendary Bob Dylan talks about everyone and everything, but mainly for the accusations that he "steals" from other artists for his songs. "They can all melt in hell," he says in an aversion to his speech!

In 71 his years, the great Robert Allen Zimmerman – by world bob dylan – returns to the discography with his 35th album, the 'Tempest' which was released a few days ago, and with an interview that already, before it hits US newsstands, has sparked debate, mainly for the harsh words he uses against his critics.

In the interview with "Rolling Stone", dylan is asked by journalist sam jones about accusations that he has been "borrowed" without mentioning it lyrics by henry timrod, a 19th century poet, for songs on his six-year-old album Modern Times. He has also been accused that on the album "Love and Theft" the 2001 had used excerpts from "Confessions of a Yakuza", the dark novel by the Japanese author Yunishi Saga, without mentioning it again.

"Indeed in folk and jazz borrowing is a tradition that is rich and even enriching. It's true for anyone. Except me. There are other rules for me" Dylan emphasizes and continues in a harsher tone. “You're talking about Henry Timrod, have you ever heard of him; Who has read him lately?; And who brought him to the fore?; Who makes you read him; Go ask his descendants what they think of all this. And if you think it is so easy to use his verses and help you in your work, do it and let's see how far you get. Women complain about something like that too!».

Dylan, who started his career in music the 1959, he claims in his interview that he has been in the spotlight for a long time. "This is all part of a tradition, that goes back a long time. They are the same ones who once stuck the name of Judas on me. Judah, the most hated name in history! If you think your name is bad, try to find your way with such a name. And all this why; Because I had played the electric guitar; As if this is the same as betraying the Lord and handing Him over for crucifixion. All these diabolical gams…see, they can melt in hell!».
