Expecting Rain

I'm sitting at work today and on the table behind me I notice this mailer sitting there. It is called "Dreams from my Real* Father" (please note, where the astrisk is now, there is actually the communist symbol of a hammer sickle.) See pictures. It includes a DVD which I have not watched. It appears to be directed by Joel Gilbert, the "Bob" from the Dylan tribute band Highway 61 Revisited. The production company is listed as "Highway 61 Entertainment." Tt was randomly mailed to a coworker's house - addressed: "Joan Smith or Current Resident." Please take note that the household is registered to vote, but they are registed with no political affiliation.

It kind of bothers me that Dylan fan money is unknowningly going to blindly mail right-wing propaganda DVDs around the country (this must be expensive, after all!) Does anyone know anything else about Joel Gilbert's right wing politics?

here's one more picture:

How come this one isn't listed in Joel's "Spoofs" category? Joel Gilbert, YOU SUCK.

(Why would anyone buy his Bob Docs anyway?.. You can watch them free on Youtube.)

When I saw it on the table I originally thought it was a parody. After reading it and looking at the linked sites, I was surprised to find it's not.

I certainly don't want to get into any sort of political discussion about this - I'm just curious if anyone else in the Dylan world knew about this, or maybe has even gotten a copy of this?

Tofu turkey man.... he also did the Elvis Lives one, right? And loads of other bs.

I was suckered into watching one of his videos on Netflix in the very early days of my fandom (exactly one year ago ) I was hungry to learn what I could but figured out pretty quick that this guy is an opportunist. He needs to find another meal ticket.

Dude's a dick. He once contacted me asking for a trade, offering in return 'uncirculated rehearsals'.

Did he ask you for a copy of your birth certificate?

joel gilbert = schmuck/putz/loser ......now with the party that celebrates ignorance

Is it Off Topic or Political World? It's not Other Artists, that much is sure....

I bet you would have gotten back a copy of Blonde On Blonde's right stereo channel slowed down 2%.

holy fuck joel gilbert is such a wonderful example of how not to be

Joel Gilbert is a creep. I have never met him mind, so apologies in advance to anyone who has and likes him.

I can't believe that Scarlet, Rob or Winston would even consider playing with that guy. It's weird. He is weird. Freak show Dylan tribute.

joel gilbert come and get me
my work done quit me
joel gilbert you better come get me
joel gilbert/

i wish that he would slip in the shower or something

It sucks.

Joel Gilbert? Who's this Joel Gilbert?

From the looks of things, just one small penis out in the wilderness.

but he's been thru all of F. Scott Fitzgeralds books...damn frowning camel.

Apparently he has: Obama!

Is Goombay Joel Gilbert?

His docs are complete garbage

So is his 'singing'.

So what? There is nothing more natural and human than being a communist. Everyone with a working brain and a beating heart is a communist, even if he doen´t know it yet.


Well, I investigated all the books in the library
Ninety percent of ’em gotta be burned away
I investigated all the people that I knowed
Ninety-eight percent of them gotta go
The other two percent are fellow Birchers . . . just like me

Now Eisenhower, he’s a Russian spy
Lincoln, Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy
To my knowledge there’s just one man
That’s really a true American: George Lincoln Rockwell
I know for a fact he hates Commies cus he picketed the movie Exodus

Well, I fin’ly started thinkin’ straight
When I run outa things to investigate
Couldn’t imagine doin’ anything else
So now I’m sittin’ home investigatin’ myself!
Hope I don’t find out anything . . . hmm, great God!

^^I think the "So what?" attitude is what got American President Obama elected in the first place. Perhaps it is this way world-wide now? So long as your candidate looks good on TV...sounds "Presidential" giving a speech...who cares what his or her actual political philosophy is? I don't think this attitude wears a Party label, either. It's all exercise and polish. President Obama is just one example. Governor Romney is another.

gilbert = loser......romney = loser
