When I saw Dylan live in person, I was very much conscious to, “ This is as if I am fortunate to watch Shakespeare doing Shakespeare. Remember this evening forever, Michael. It’s very special.”
nah
@@KingMinosxxviyah
Dylan is Shakespeare with a guitar!
And no voice
Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells
Speaking to some French girl
Who says she knows me well
And I would send a message
To find out if she’s talked
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked.
Oh mama can this really be the end? To be stuck inside a mobile with the Memphis blues again.
Classic
Every year we have a family gathering, sometimes its for Christmas, sometimes for New year's and if our busy schedules completely get in our way we manage to find a meaningless date on our calendar to get together and on each and every occasion ]whilst we drink sip on some wine and munch on some snacks we always play music in the background and each time Dylan comes on Dad always says "Is that Dylan, can you turn it down he sounds like hes about to break down crying, man that guy can't sing at all, he is terrible".,.. and every time i reply " Dad, theres more to it than just the singing, if you just listen to what he is singing and the music you might just get something out of it" and he''s reply is " yeah yeah, for you maybe but for me he sounds like a whaling child"... i kept persisting for about 6 years until one year i had a realisation that it didint matter how dylan sounded or what he was singing, i realised my father would never get it, i mean, when it comes to music/arts he is a big zero, hes hates art galleries and has never been to a music concert and has spent way too many years watching sports.. im sure if i asked him something about chemistry or to solve a mathematical equation he would get that as he studied a bachelor of chemical engineering at university but how was he every going to appreciate dylans music?
My personal conclusion is, Dont force your views on others, people will only see and hear what they want to see and hear and if you happen to find others who see and hear as you do, enjoy the moment.
Dylan lyrics are the only poetry people can quote that meant something to them....
Mr. Gillette is very perceptive. I've seen Dylan 3 times (74. 85. 2019) and Springsteen once. Dylan is always intriguing, always changing. Springsteen, while a great performer, once is enough. Dylan seems to be always looking for something in himself. Why else is he still performing so much after more than 50 years? Surely doesn't need the money. I continue to be intrigued and enlightened by Dylan.
You either "get" Dylan or you don't.
TRANSLATION: You're either a Dipshit or a Dylan fan.
That's bullshit cause there are plenty of amazing Dylan songs and plenty that are just garbage
It’s funny when stupid people hear anything that seems deep and claim it’s genius. No one can ever explain (in a coherent way) why his lyrics or music were genius. Most of it was plagiarized which is common but not genius.
Dylan tought us how to appreciate, or not, what was written, or painted, or just out there. It's a personal journey.
I'm listening to this today, and Penn's observations seem so true. Norm MacDonald recently passed away, and he was also a huge Dylan fan. Similar to Dylan, Norm seemed to do comedy for the sake of his own entertainment almost, like he was more amused with his jokes the less the audience liked them. It's hard to describe. But the way Penn described Dylan as not trying to please people, and so being universally relatable because of it... I think Norm was the exact same thing. And how fitting, since he loved Dylan.
Bob Zimmerman Dylan is: True Pure Present Tense While at the same time Past and Future Tense Sheer Crystal True Blue. Dylan is like the fragrance of the Rose and the Light Shining on it waiting for the water that makes it grow, but he is not the water, nor the flower. It's up to the listening heart and mind to initiate the bloom happen, which Dylan offers the world a possibility for if only millions would simultaneously ponder on the thought. His work is Simplicity Genius connecting souls. Like Shakespeare, Dylan is gifted.
This one of the many reasons I love Penn Jillette . I am also a Dylan fan who feels the same way but I could never articulate it as well as Penn did here . BTW Penn looks great Ive been following his model to reduce weight and high blood pressure and am doing well . Hope all is well with Penn .
Totally agree with this man. I'm so pleased Dylan has got the Nobel Prize for Literature. He is our modern day poet. I have friends who tell me they can't understand what I like about his music and lyrics. I just send them off to listen to Positively 4th Street :)
I saw Dylan in '99 with Paul Simon. I went to see Paul Simon. How silly I was. Paul was awesome, loved his set. Then Dylan came on. I had no idea what I was in for. Dylan snatched my soul from my body, and forced me to be born again. Completely unexpectedly. I still to this day cannot describe the whole effeyct. It had on me. I went to see Paul Simon. I didn't know I was actually there to see Dylan.
Penn Jillett's introduction to Dylan's 'Trouble No More' bootleg album is a revelation. I totally agree with his assessment of the mighty BobDylan. I truly feel sorry for people who tell me that they don't get Dylan. They are missing so much.
I commend Penn for his efforts but it is impossible to nail down Bob Dylan. Dylan is so far beyond that he has constructed himself so as to defy definition .
fart fart plop plop
I may not see what Penn sees in Dylan, but I appreciate how passionate he is about his music.
then you are an idiot he sold his soul to satan its the only reason that no talent is even known. dont believe me look up the 60 minutes interview. bob dylan sold soul 60 minutes he calls satan the "cammander in chief in this world and the other one" direct quote you ignorant fool.
Satan doesn't exist you mark
no he doesnt,he said hes holding up his end on a deal he made with the commander of chief of this world and the other,its god,its true cause hes religious
‘‘Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood, when Blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud. I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. Come in, she said, I’ll give ya shelter from the storm.” -words as poignant as any ever written.
Dylan is a true artist
Absolutely one of the greats. A genius
"Don't criticize what you can't understand."
Or more applicably here, don't criticize what you don't understand. If you want to make a valid assessment of Dylan's merit as an artist, you have literally dozens of songs to explore and ruminate upon first. To many who know the man's work, he's the greatest living artist in the world. Before you beg to differ, you might consider putting a modicum of effort into appreciating what they're all on about. Don't, and you're just about as enlightened as the unlearned adolescent who makes fun of the English of Willie the Shake.
maybe you should not comment on what you dont understand either praise or criticism you stupid fool.
Nobody gives a shit about what you think is "valid" or otherwise. Some people like him, others don't. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Full stop.
+Ima SuperPerson
So who then cares about your repudiation of my viewpoint? You are right about people's right to their own opinions, of course, but it's normal to be wrong. Plenty of people don't like baroque music, so they don't care about Bach. Others don't care for art, so Picasso makes no sense to them. Some don't appreciate fine architecture, and to them Frank Lloyd Wright's designs look staid and dated.
All of these people are missing something. There are a few intelligent and well-educated critics of literature who deny the value of Dylan's contributions and who can defend their positions, but the vast majority of those who say the bard is overrated simply don't know what they're talking about.
*****
- He just writes music. It doesn't matter.
Excuse me? Dylan "just writes music". I have seen him live dozens of times, and he is an artist on stage. Take every show for what it's worth. Oh, and he does write books (e.g. "literature"), and draw. I wish most folks on planet-Earth could do a fraction of what this man does.
Shakespeare? Ask again in a hundred years.
Get a grip ! Shakespeare is THE wordsmith for eternity 👍 Zimmerman is a pop star under the guise of Dylan that's his gift to us music fans
ok it's a nice splice, but what did you do with the rest of the interview???!!!
Wait, so one of the cruxes of his arguments for this is that Dylan is like Shakespeare because "he isn't trying to please other people" and isn't trying to describe some kind of inclusive human experience?
What do you think Shakespeare was doing? He was writing for an active and borderline participatory audience, trying to pull them in with universal human emotions wrought through extraordinary circumstances. If you want to call Dylan talented, fine whatever, but your description of him seems completely counter to what Shakespeare actually did with his work.
Either you don't understand Dylan, or you don't understand Shakespeare.
i think he didnt relate their work but the level of talent and originality in their work
@@mamoon7049 No
Any one who disagrees... You got any objective criticism to back your claim?
Penn nails it.
Shakespeare was the dylan of his time
Shakespeare didnt made sircule Dylan make full sircule
Bob Dylan sings like a man who cannot cry so it comes out in his vocals. - anon
"Time will tell / who has fell / and who's been left behind."
Absolutely
Well deserved recognition!

Bob Dylan kicks ass. Growing up my dad would always have old music playing, Dylan being one. I never read Shakespeare though, my attention doesn't span that length.
A-holes and opinions, we all have them but you don't have to choose to be one. You dont have to agree with Mr. Jillette but you dont have to be rude about it either. Personally I agree with Penn but that's just my opinion. Check out the Penn Point on Dylan vs. Mcartney for an even better explanation.
I hope I'm my lifetime I do get a chance to see Sir Paul live, yet there would be no reason to pay to hear him live more than once other than for the fun of it. You Know what you'd get at those shows.
Bob doesn't give a damn what you, I or anyone else thinks of much of his work and that's the joy of a Dylan show. He will often change up his work in so many different ways it's mind boggling. But always, whether playing his Vast body of work or covering someone else, Dylan rips his guts and heart out over and over again for others even those who don't appreciate it!
I'm doing my damndest to figure out how the hell I can get to Philly and get a ticket see Bob on his upcoming tour 11/11! Lord only knows what gems he might pull out of his hat with this next installment of his Bootleg Series. Someone else asked, What does Penn think of those 79-81 yrs.? Well, we will find out soon because Mr. Jillette wrote about it in one of the package deals. I don't need fancy books of old photos or other stuff but I certainly look forward to reading what Penn Jillette has to say there! Dylan's spirituality is none of my business and I don't have much of a base of reference on some of the topics of that time period. What I do know is the fact that those years gave us some of his most Explosive and Wonderful music ever! Dirty, dirty, sexy guitar on Groom's Still Waiting at the Alter and his harp work alone at the end of What Can I Do For You brings me to tears every single time! That period of his work has given me some of my favorite prayers of all time!
And as Penn pointed out, Bob is always searching to find his own self. Or so I paraphrase. The downright guts and bravery it takes for him to share that with us is absolutely Amazing!!!!
Wishing Peace, Love & Joy to All!
I'm a Phil Ochs fan, there was a big rivalry between them.
Well said. Thats why dylan gets me. Even now when he is 82

From where I'm sitting, "Bob Dylan Is the Shakespeare for Our Time", that title would belong to Bruce Springsteen, "A screen door slams, Mary's dress sways Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely…", My two Cents!
If Shakespeare lived in our time Dylan and he wouldve met surely❣️Like I wouldve gone seeing/listening Live Shakespeare expressing/performing his Poetry and all, for so many people! Today❣️🌺🌞🌹❤️Like we have now Poetry International arranged in the ‘60’s by Dutch Poets. Allen Ginsberg and many came!
Yeah lets have Shakespeare there too!
And you know, he is! We luckily have his works to see in theaters, books❣️
Hahaha, no. No he's not.
Love the comparison with Springsteen, thanks! OMG and the Velvets, too, wow!
Beautifully put
Dylan a Shakespeare of our time?- unless our times have descended from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Penn did not mention Cervantes.
''Don Quijote'' is the Best Selling Book of All Time (selling an ''eye watering'' 500 Million copies worldwide).
Many scholars place Cervantes above Shakespeare.
I wonder if Penn liked Bob Dylan's Christian phase lol.
Imagine the two doing the other's work ... in their own style.
Shane XYZ Later on.....yes he did.
Jillette's positive views of these songs are expressed in the powerful essay he wrote. It is included in the photo book, "Pressing On", in the recently released "Trouble No More" (Bootleg #13 re the 1979-'81 period)
Of course he does
Well considering Dylan was on 🔥 during that period and gave jaw dropping passionate performances and tore open his heart and expressed his connection to spirit...yeah. he dug it.
People who dismiss those albums out of hand because of some prickly atheist world view are missing out and missing the point. That period ROCKED.
Shakespeare could never have written "Tarantula", right? Anyone?
I don't agree with the comparison. I'm a huge Dylan fan, but that's based on his music. A lot of his writing doesn't hold up without the music carrying it. Besides, Shakespeare was a playwright, so there really isn't a comparison.
Get’s it
The Shakespeare parallel is clear for many reasons, though I’ll take Bob’s body of work any day of the week
People are crazy and times are strange. Johnson/Weld 2016
Dylan is amazing. He deserved the Nobel Prize. But anyone who compares him to Shakespeare, had never read the plays of Shakespeare, let alone the Sonnets. Comparisons are almost always odious, but in this case it’s ludicrous.
They're both inheritors of the bardic tradition, is what people mean when they say it. So I absolutely agree with the comparison, in that sense. Obviously a play isn't a lyric or song but they are both bardic.
i bet most of the commentators below dont even know much about dylan.
At the end, Jillette said that people he "knows and reads about who are really literary", name Shakespeare, Burns and Dylan. In that case, I doubt he has many literature-loving friends. I'm an avid reader and I love literature; I'd nominate Shakespeare, Radcliffe, Dickens and Charlotte Bronte.
Charles well Shakespeare did not only was a good writer who depicted the human condition but he was influential to the language expanding and elevating to a higher cultural standard (like Dante did with italian) by creating new words that we are still using these days (Shakespeare was a modernist in a James Joyce fashion), so compraring him with The Bard it is not only pretentious but arrogant too. People like this Pen Jillete the only thing they do its to enhance and procure the exegesis (like those little explanatory notes bellow a trashy pretentious post modernist piece or -shit- art) among their acolytes. But it's we have a pop -mass- culture prize in the ages of a pop -mass- president (Obama was too) and so on. Dylan does not depict neither a human condition nor universal values asociated with humanity but only a instantaneous determinateness in sapace and time like a narrow snapshot
I'd argue that Dylan's work did not only represent a snapshot in time. Dylan captured the pains of the human condition relating to most of modern society. Analyze Gates of Eden, It's alright Ma, or Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie. I believe you might find something in those if you can come to understand them.
Your gonna need a bigger list
The title on this video is incorrect, Shakespeare is the Shakespeare of our time, and even he wasn't Shakespeare - and Dylan ain't no Shakespeare.
Penn says, "Shakespeare, Burns, Dylan." - Does anyone know who Burns is?
Oh Penn their not called the Me Generation for nothing. Well before a little boy named Zimmerman conjured up the name Bob Dylan singer Woody Guthrie sang of the dispossessed and before he ever toured Jack Keroauc was already on the road. Yet Baby Boomers never grow tired of their own reflection, and its why putting Dylan with Shakespeare isn't outrageous its just par for the course.....
Their¿
if i thought about it, i never would of done it i just would of let it slide,if i paid attention to what others were thinking something inside me would of died, i was just to stubborn to every be governed by enforced insanity someone had to reach for that rising star i guess it was up to him. dylan ! the master and legend love your work!
Amen friend Penn
Shakespeare would be in complete awe of Bob. Shakespeare was the Norman Lear of his day. Not too shabby, but then, not Bob.
thank you
Dylan has nothing to do with Shakespeare. He is a musician and a poet.
He's a wordsmith as was Shakespeare bards if you will.
Says someone who probably doesn't read any contemporary poets.
Shakespeare I get; Dylan I get; but Burns???
Burns was a folksinger, too. Compare "A Man's a Man for a' That" and "Blowin' in the Wind".
happy birthday bob ... thanks.
'Oh Mercy!' Yes I confess, I am a Bobaholic. 'Compare & Contrast D&S'? An interesting but ultimately fruitless pursuit as is looking at say 1604 artistic works solely through the focus of 21st century spectacles. A much more demanding serious approach to D's poetic canon requires an informed analysis such as that by Christopher Ricks' 'Visions of Sin', a creditable attempt. I think what is being approached here is the current popular impact of D & of course duly & crudely announced by an ad man's stripe by a comparison with the bard to gain attention. Well it does work but this is lazy and trite fodder for the lumpen proletariat. This persistent contemporary approach in a consumptive consumerist society is crass. Remember this, S's popularity was never consistent or indeed global until the 19th century & poor young Keats only sold c200 copies when he died. D's present impact on contemporary life is undoubtedly colossal but only time will tell. However, he does merit serious attention. So send in the clowns? Better still, some seriously informed distinguished grown-up writers like Ricks et al rather than those blessed with embarrassing happy-clappy, wishy-washy adolescent unrefined minds. After all, this is an ever so-so serious industry isn't it? D must be laughing all the way to the bank. Alas, the tragedy is that poor Keats and countless others were not. But hey, thanks for the publicity: 4/10 - Must do better. Oh dearie me, have I unwittingly upset some fragile snowflakes who are now duly going into Victim Mode? Is this modern culture? 'Oh Mercy!' Ha Ha.
What does he know? It sounds like he actually said stay within the 21st century as his recommendations for what to listen to with Bob Dylan. So that would be from 2000 onward and not 1990 or 1975 or 66. That's what I mean. What the hell does he know? I hate these people that make all these products proclamations
I agree
Pretty eccentric
"Dylan has no idea who he is?" one could take that out of context, pretty easily. I wonder what Jillette thinks of the "man upstairs." this guy is long winded. I don't really think he fully grasps the singularity of it all. Vegas card man. Magic is boring
agreed
I love Dylan.
The 92 people who thumbed this down.
But Harambe died for our sins!!!
Love Dylan. But Chronicles? Terrible. Every writing cliche ever used. He didn't simply mix metaphors, he put them in a blender. Found it painful to read.
That's a compliment where I come from btw
@Penn Jillette - You're way off the mark with this claim, way, way off.
Mr Robert Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan, has been given the Nobel prize
for literature, with a slew of commentators saying that he's America's
and his generation's Shakespeare. I'm sorry, as much as I love
the lyrical genius of Dylan, he's not Shakespeare, nor anywhere close to
his genius. Dylan being compared to him is like comparing Chocolate and
Ice Cream, apples and oranges, it's an unfair comparison, both to
Shakespeare and to Mr Zimmerman.
Shakespeare was the greatest exponent and proponent of the English
language, beating both Chaucer and Milton to the throne of most revered
wordsmith, and he also has the distinction of having added over 300
words to the English language, at least half of which are still in the
dictionary, and many of which words and phrases we still use today.
No-one has a chance, ever, of equalling such an amazing body of work,
work which contains humour, philosophy, politics, love, hate, war,
intrigue, betrayal, loyalty, magic, death, and, above all, the poetic
romance of Shakespeare's sixteenth century English.
well you know the thing with that is that both had very creative minds but shakespear had a headstart,he had a time advantage where he could be completely loose with english as he was one of the developer and there hadnt been much done in literature until his era,with dylan it was different,people like shakespear had used so many rhymes and words,so many stories,so many instances that it was increasingly harder to become what dylan became,original.both had the same level of creativity but shakespear statistically achieved more because of the very minute number of competition and no literary history.In creativity and potential aspect dylan was as good as shakespear,but shakespear couldnt have touched what dylan did,but dylan did with all along the watchtower what shakespear was all about
Not to denigrate Dylan. I like a good many of his songs; and there is no denying his influence on American popular culture during the past 50 years or so.
Having said that, COME ON, EVERYBODY. Shakespeare is the greatest poet in the English language. Dylan is nowhere near that level; and let us not dodge the most relevant question here: Do popular-song lyrics qualify as poetry?
I think not. In a first-rate pop song, the lyrics are closely allied to the music. Neither, therefore, can stand effectively on their own.
Judging Dylan as a poet based on his lyrics, I would rate him well below W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden, at least. I would also nominate Dylan Thomas, Robert Frost, Hart Crane, Robert Penn Warren, Robert Hayden, Richard Wilbur -- that's off the top of my head --
reincarnationwise, dylan = shakespeare, both have jupiter conjunct saturn
Some tunes are great some very average very very simple i am saying as a composer but lyrically speaking Bob is the best of all no wonder he inspired many musicians like John Lennon Bruce etc... even he inspired me in some way no wonder he won Nobel price.
Pepe is the shakspeare of our time
Rinstinkt Rat u r just upset bc Trump is your real daddy
Requ.iemFor America - Be nice to Mr Rinstink, he's in his prime, you know.
Penn is spot on. I’m a Dylan nut too.
Jillette is not the Harry Houdini of our time? The guy has zero rap for a sleight of hand man. stick with magic and tv manipulation. Who asked for Jillette's opinion? NO one.
I’ve just recently started listening and analysing his music, after 3 months I understand he is a great songwriter but i still haven’t seen him above the beatles,radiohead,oliver mtukudzi,kanye,Kendrick lamar,etc .Im gonna revisit my comment after another 6 months
Could you recommend some Kanye or Kendrick Lamar songs that you find superior to Dylan? I listened to some songs of them both and they gave me absolutely nothing. I find the song "Humble" atrocious. Or I am missing something.
Philip Schmitz I’m still visiting his(Bob) discog and absorbing his artistry...Kanye i dnt view him as an individual since his craft is based on collaborative effort but Kendrick is more of a fair comparison (though the artistry is worlds apart) w/ that said ;
Humble has a message but its masked as a trap song(again which is something out of the ordinary for Bob) Id suggest Sing about me im dying of thirst...How much a dollar costs...untitled 5...Duckworth..
bruce copied Dylan, just as tom petty and mark knophler did
god damn, penn's getting old
And the last good song he wrote was... when exactly?
2012
wrong
you're right they should have given him the prize 40 years ago
Actually, truth be told. Bob Dylan should have been awarded the Nobel Prize after "Song To Woody", like 1962. Yes, tomorrow is a long time.
InfamousComments
As a whole, it's been a while, but he has some good lines in somewhat average songs.
Penn Jillette is like the Harry Houdini of Magic or sleight of hand. I'd like to know what the fuck Jillette knows of the Bard of Avon. Dylan has a kind of ancient uh, mystical like (Dylan doesn't know who he is?). Jillette is kind of transferring his need for real worship. He is so quick to dismiss the spiritual and religious traditions of America with his confident Atheism. I'm not really what Dylan knows like ala: Blake or Erasmus, (Shakespeare?) Who made Jillette the commentator? Dude, you couldn't write a handbill for the Fillmore East. You need to kind of back up your Shakespeare/Dylan work comparisons. I don't find them much alike at all. even Bob Zimmerman went with Dylan, not Shakespeare. Stick with the causal singularity of nothing.
This is an excellent comment, the more so there it has no intellectual, littérarités fashion some expect from a discussion about Dylan.
I particularly like the comparison between Springsteen and Dylan…
Again Penn Gillette is an excellent analyst of today’s world and creation.
Thank you.
Not even close. Maybe the Robert Burns of our time, but not Shakespeare.
I just heard the first sentence where this ignoramus compares Dylan to Shakespeare ❗I didn't want to hear more, it's clear to me that the only thing he read in his stupid life is the lyrics of songwriters.
Not Shakespeare
only an intellectual giant would conflate Shakespeare and Dylan together!
Penn's opinion means no more and no less than anyone else's. He's as full of himself as Dylan. lol
Dylan is a mastwr of deception
Bob Dylan and John Lennon same vibes
lennon was average
@@mamoon7049 Prove it.
John Kevin take any lennon songs lyricism and compare it with dylan or leonard cohen or George Harrison
Really Penn? Really?

Bruce Springsteen?
This man does not understand Shakespeare or Bob Dylan.
Kristin Wagar disagree. I thought he was very articulate about what makes Dylan great
@@phish1 You thought and nobody cares about your thoughts
John Kevin ha you obviously cared enough to write a completely unwarranted, rude reply. Do people ever call you Kevin John?
Mumbling is the equivalent of a Shakespeare play now? How far we've fallen...
Calvin Smith mumbling?
Yeah, because that's the comparison he was making. Writing and singing, not writing and writing. Come on, now.
looks like someone needs a cheerleader
How am I the only person to comment on his one pained fingernail, it’s driving me crazy,,,,you’re a grandpa, don’t paint your god damn nails
