Bob Dylan is not only one of the greatest songwriters of all time, but also an enigma. Although he is known to say little or nothing, the 83-year-old has recently shown himself quite communicatively for his relationship esogar-for example with a number of surprising tweets or X-postings. Now Dylan adds again when it comes to surprises and publishes a live clip by Machine Gun Kelly on his official Instagram page.
The obscure on it: The clip, the Dylan (or his social media team?) Posted by the rapper Turned Poppunker, apparently has nothing to do with Dylan. If Machine Gun Kelly had performed a dylan piece or something similar, at least you would have had a clue-but so?
Bob Dylan: fans are irritated
A caption that could somehow explain that? None. Dylan’s account simply shares a concert recording from “MGK” from 2016 – and the commentators are partly surprised, partly amused. “This is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me on the Internet,” writes Mod Sun in the comments. Another user is less enthusiastic: “Bob, what the hell is that supposed to do?”.
“Bob told you: He Contains Multitudes“A user alludes to a Dylan song. The big “Song and Dance Man” wants to annoy his supporters a little, says another person: “I love it when Dylan fans get upset because he throws a curve ball.” “He only shared this because he believes that the Timothée is chalamet,” jokes another Instagram user.
Research
“PitchFork” has its own theory. The posting could be related to Timothée Chalamet, the Dylan in the latest biopic A complete unknown embodied. Chalamet moved into one in 2023 Saturday night live-D show on Machine Gun Kelly and jokingly described himself as “a well -maintained version of MGK. However, that would be intended by many corners or meta -levels.
The magazine also brings Beak> and the former Portishead-Musician Geoff Barrow as a possible connection between the two unequal poles into play. The background is a statement by Barrow from 2023 in which he The Weeknd criticized after this the deceased MF Doom Had paid to. Barrow compared the gesture at the time to “Machine Gun Kelly, who disguises Bob Dylan”.
Machine Gun Kelly is happy
Machine Gun Kelly himself is not surprisingly enthusiastic about the posting. “WTF. That was not on my 2025 bingo card, ”the musician wrote in his Insta story, according to“ NME ”. He described the moment as “so cool” and was grateful to Dylan. No wonder – such a knighthood (should it have actually been one) you don’t get every day!
Incidentally, Bob Dylan, like Machine Gun Kelly, had the word gun (in a different spelling) in its name. An early alias of Dylan was Elston Gunnn – another trace?
