Simon Snubs Bob Dylan In The Midst of Idol Mania
The sixth season of American Idol kicks into high gear on Tuesday. And what better time for A.I’s resident wise ass to insult an American music icon.
Simon “That Was Absolutely Ghastly” Cowell appears in the February issue of Playboy-don’t worry, he keeps his shorts on. S.C took the opportunity to insult legendary folk singer/activist, Bob Dylan:
“Do I prefer Kelly Clarkson’s music to Bob Dylan’s? Yes. I’ve never bought a Dylan record. A singing poet? It just bores me to tears.” And since we all know Simon so well, it should come as no surprise that he just wouldn’t stop talking until he had stuck his entire head into his ass:
“I’ve got to tell you, if I had 10 Dylans in the final of ‘American Idol,’ we would not be getting 30 million viewers a week. I don’t believe the Bob Dylans of this world would make ‘American Idol’ a better show.”
Sorry Sim, but if ten Bob Dylans chanting “The Times They Are A-Changing” on A.I still meant watching Paula do the drunk “seal clap” while crying over random shit, then chances are you’d still be racking in the ratings.

Simon Cowell is so banal-retentive he could have scored the soundtrack for the movie, Mediocracy, with the crappy, uninspired puppets he promotes. That everyone’s a critic is proved by him - he has no exceptional ability at anything - he is simply another boring sociopathic personality who greedily preys upon the vast gullibility and stupidity of the mediocre population which watches his crappy show. His attack on Dylan is simply defending his own horrible taste. Music has deteriorated to crap during this decade or more of music by industry decree and mass advertising to ram substandard products, people, and politicians down our throats. His show, and everything it stands for, is ruining American music and everything it used to stand for.

you’re kidding, right? Simon f-cking whatever-his-name-is (I’ve never seen the show because I shun television) says Bob Dylan sucks? I have never heard anything as pretentiously idiotic in my life. I mean, just comparing BOB DYLAN to this celluloid TV loser is a sin to all who have minds.
