WTF Bob Dylan? A friend who is offline is blocked from buying tickets to Bob Dylan in Antwerp, Belgium. The concert is effectively exclusively for online people. Most likely cash payers must fuck off.

Itโ€™s exactly the kind of shit Bob Dylan should be bitching about in his songs. WTF, Bob Dylan?

If Bob Dylan was still alive today, he'd be pissed about this.

    The funny thing about this is, Bob Dylan is so famously bad live, he should write songs about ripping off his own fans.

    I saw him in the late 1990s, my fourth or fifth concert out of now hundreds, and it remains the worst concert Iโ€™ve ever seen. You can find entire threads about how bad he is live any time you search!

    Itโ€™s honestly impressive that heโ€™s still finding people to fool into buying tickets, and heโ€™s never been hit with a class action lawsuit.

    Iโ€™ll add my favorite quote from that thread: โ€œI've seen him like 5 times and 3 of them are some of the worst shows I've ever seen.โ€
