DON'T YOU DARE GATEKEEP FOLK MUSIC

So, I don't post on here very often. And when I do, it's pretty much always about Star Wars. This post is gonna be something completely different. And it's probably gonna sound a little self-righteous, but I feel strongly that I'm right.

I've been listening to Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, and lots of other people associated with the mid-20th century American folk revival for my entire life (I didn't discover Joan Baez until high school though because my parents think her singing is boring). That music is at the center of my whole music taste that I've developed over the years. With my parents both being huge Dylan fans (they had Bob Dylan quotes in their wedding vows), that music has been engrained in my life since the beginning. And I know the same is true for a lot of other people, and that this music is just as important to the countless more who discovered it later in life.

If you've been on the internet at any point during the last few weeks, you probably know what I'm about to start talking about. I saw A Complete Unknown on New Year's Day, and it was much better than I'd expected. I've already posted an absurdly long review of the movie on Letterboxd, so I'm not gonna bother telling y'all my opinions about the movie itself (which are numerous, strong, and largely irrational). Instead, I want to talk a bit about some of the broader social responses I've seen to the movie.

I was thinking about those responses before I'd even left the theater, 'cause I have wanted more people to listen to '60s folk music (and especially Joan Baez) for years. People definitely thought I was kinda weird in high school for knowing so much about Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, bringing them up all the time in my history and English classes, and posting about them on Instagram. A lot of my friends hated Bob's voice and I could hardly find anyone who was interested in Joan Baez except as a name to mention in history exams about the Civil Rights Movement. So I genuinely love that there's a popular movie that's exposing more people to that music and giving those previously exposed a greater appreciation for it.

But, holy shitsnacks, I've never come so close to being a gatekeeping asshole before. I was off TikTok for the second half of 2024 for a variety of reasons that don't bear going into, but went on that app again a few days ago. And, naturally, my 'for you' page was slowly taken over by folk music content. As much as I've loved seeing how much more attention Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger seem getting than when I was on TikTok before, this sort of explosion in the popularity of something that used to mark me as a weird kid is definitely new to me. I've experienced the urge to prove that I'm a fan of something before, but never with something that has this much emotional meaning to me. And I'll admit that I have now fallen as far as using my vinyl collection to prove that I was a fan before the movie (which . . . I think my perceived need to quantify how much I like things is part of why I collect vinyl records anyway, but whatever). Because, let me tell you, with all the good people who love folk music, there are also a few assholes.

In the past, I feel like those assholes have mostly been a small group of older fans. But now I've started encountering people my age who are suddenly being assholes about the same old people music that I've loved for years. Maybe those people were there all along, but they seem to have become more prominent now. Like, I've seen someone claiming that men shouldn't listen to Joan Baez--a claim I didn't want to take seriously, but I honestly can't tell. And I've seen so, so many people saying things along the lines of "no one loves Bob Dylan as much as I do; I was a fan before the movie". And that sorta thing reminded me of how shitty it feels to be on the receiving end of gatekeeping. I don't have much reason to be deeply affected by the gatekeeping because I've been a fan for so long and I've put up with the gatekeeping done by older fans, but that must feel like shit for people who are just now being introduced to the music.

It's gonna be impossible for me to express any of this without sounding obnoxiously preach-y, but here goes. How much you love something can't be quantified, so can't compare it to how much someone else loves that thing. And if it's not something you created, you shouldn't try to control who can enjoy it. Folk music is for everyone--we're all the folk. Edward Norton as Pete Seeger in the movie literally talks about bringing the music to new people. That's what it's all about, and this movie has done a very good job at sharing the music with a lot of new people all at once. The community that exists around this music has always been overwhelmingly positive (despite the presence of some assholes, including Bob Dylan himself), and I still have a lot of hope that the positivity will live through this explosion in popularity.

And I hope that this movie will start people down the same path I started down when I was ~15, and lead to more people listening to Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Phil Ochs (whose song There But For Fortune was only briefly featured in the movie), all the weird '50s music that inspired Bob and Joan, and everything else that was touched by the folk revival. The more music everyone listens to, the more we'll understand each other.

Anyway, here's a little picture of Bob and Joan that I saw on Pinterest the other day. I hadn't seen this picture before, and it was the first time in probably over a year that I'd found a new picture of them together. It was uploaded to Pinterest by someone called 9ddana, but that's all I know.

Bib Dylan in Silent Hill: how many holes must a man jump down

Brayden, Caleb, and Dylan always loved playing paintball. When the Overalls for All Law passed, the three friends didn't care because paintball was deemed an appropriately masculine activity. Now, in order to adhere to the new law, they had to play in overalls or coveralls, but the buddies liked how much manlier it made the sport.

Here they stand before starting a round of paintball.

"Dudes, I love these Dickies overalls. I feel like a real man in them," said Caleb, in the middle.

Dylan nodded his head, "Yeah I have some Dickies at home. I wore my KEY overalls today though."

"Those are really cool too, man," replied Caleb. "And I'm digging your coveralls Brayden! What made you go for coveralls today?"

Brayden rubbed his hands over his coveralls, "I just like feeling completely covered up. It's like I've totally given into the new law. It's like what they say at our Masculinity Courses: Obedience is pleasure."

Brayden was referring to another provision of the law, which mandated all men attend nightly courses to learn to be better men.

Caleb put his hand in the bib of his Dickies overalls, "I agree 100%! I actually really love seeing how every guy has to obey the law now. I feel like our country is more united than ever before!"

"And wearing these paintball masks really reinforces that uniformity," said Dylan.

"You didn't hear yet?" Brayden called out. "A new addendum to the Overalls for All Act is set to pass. It will make face masks mandatory for all men. A constant reminder to listen and obey rather than speak out in dissent, was the reasoning I think."

"Whatever reasoning, I'm all for it more uniformity!" Dylan said, excited at the news.

"Well, we don't have to wait for the law. We can wear our face masks starting now. Just three faceless friends ready to be men and obey in our overalls!" Caleb said, a smile hidden beneath his mask.

"Ahem!" grunted Brayden.

"And our coveralls!" Caleb added as the three began laughing. Life hadn't really changed that much. As long as they obeyed in their uniforms, the three would remain friends forever.

BIB DYLAN GAVE ME DIARRHEA

o, brother>>>>> oh sister

mannn bob can suck my left nut for all i care.

joan baez i love you.

[saintlaurentproblems]

I think we're getting a bit picky guys.. You do know the great songwriters of all time, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchel, Leonard Cohen, etc they all spent their entire careers writing about the same things and people still listened to them, because even if they're about the same thing, they all sound different and are great in their distinct way... Much like Taylor, she can write 5 songs about the same night, but they will all sound different and have different perspectives and conclusions to them

It’s bad that I hold Taylor to a higher standard than bib Dylan. She's a genius and can write about whatever she wants and ill enjoy it. It's only the school metaphors that I'm still side eying because she's 32 now.

Interview with Gus Englehorn

We had the pleasure of interviewing Gus Englehorn over Zoom video! Montreal singer-songwriter Gus Englehorn announces his sophomore album Dungeon Master, the cutest, heaviest, strangest rock’n’roll record you will hear this year. Set for release on April 29 via Secret City Records, the news is accompanied with a new single + video directed by Englehorn and Estée Preda; the stomping, paranoid “Tarantula.” Englehorn says, “This song is about uninvited recurring irrational thoughts and fears. I decided to make a little fable where a tarantula is whispering bad things into your ear. Most of the time I have to use a lot of words to get my point across, so I was particularly pleased with this one because there’s only 15 words in it.” The release follows previous lead single “The Gate,” a delirious, headbanging allegory about facing your own mortality. In March, Englehorn will also feature as an official artist at SXSW in Austin, Texas. Dungeon Master, Englehorn’s Secret City Records debut, is an outsider opus that sparkles with Dada spirit — a playful juxtaposition of isolation, alienation and mildish OCD. Surprising, paranoid, and studded with synths and strings, Dungeon Master is deeper than a cellar and blunter than a club — a shivering introduction to an artist who’s finally arrived. “I let my subconscious do the driving,” Gus admits, and as you listen to these 10 tunes, it’s difficult not to do the same: to sit back like a dog with a two-legged daydream; like a fisherwoman with her net; like a snowboarder with a mouth full of powder. Before he made the record in a cabin in the woods, he lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he fell in love at first sight with a woman from Québec, a girl named Estée Preda, who plays drums like Moe Tucker on salvia. In those days, Gus was a professional snowboarder — crisscrossing the world as a weird and world-class talent, kick-flipping through videos, shredding the gnar, posing in corporate-sponsored sunglasses. Before that he lived in Hawaii — on a lava field off-grid, with his folks. And before that in Alaska — in a hamlet called Ninilchik, where his parents fished for salmon and he and his brothers ate moose and pizza, played Nintendo, and also pretended to be wizards. For almost all of Gus’s life — from Big Island’s sunsets to snowy Utah pistes — he dreamed of being a songwriter. If he couldn’t be Dylan, maybe he’d be Daniel Johnston, or Frank Black and The Pixies, or maybe Darby Crash and The Germs. And when he finally emerged — first on 2020’s Death & Transfiguration and now here on the 34-year-old’s label debut — he had found a sound that was dark and delightful, fun and demented, packed with dynamics and the chug of a hysterical guitar.

Just catching up. Is Dylan wearing an apron under that oversized suit??? Did someone accidentally give him Cole’s Met outfit instead?

Looks like a bib. You know those Sprouse boys always stain their clothing.
