Who Would You Rather? Bob Dylan vs. Mick Jagger

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Believe it or not, this one is actually relevant, as both men are making music news this week...

First, Jagger was in the news this week because he saved Radha Mitchell from the customs police, jail, and almost certain obscurity (wait, Radha who?), escaped assassination from the world's whimpiest bunch of Hell's Angels, "playing" a Mike Huckabee concert (in which Mick was impersonated by his own brother, somehow), and for all the press on the upcoming Martin Scorsese documentary "Shine A Light," which will hopefully be the first and last movie to ever feature nothing but ninety-year-old heroin addicts. 

Dylan made the news this week for what we Dylanphiles know is actually not that unusual: getting rubbed on by a hot Brazillian stage invader! 

Would you invade Dylan's stage? What about jumpin' on Mick's lips in a flash, Jack? (I know, I know, we can do better than that.) The point is: then? Now? Who would you rather?

(BONUS: They're both ancient now... one was a brilliant hottie who liked to shake his ass nonstop... and still does. The other is a brilliant hottie who likes to stand completely still while writing the greatest music in the history of brain cells... and kinda still does. So, if you could do one of them with your eyes closed...?)

Bob Dylan. And not just because I have taken two Bob Dylan classes and own more Bob Dylan CDs than all my other CDs combined. Mick is just too skinny. Not that Bob is big or burly, but he does have at least a few pounds on Mick. Plus, he's fucking Bob Dylan.
