    I suppose that you're going to "surprise" me next with the stunning revelation that Bob Dylan has a miserable voice.

    No S Sherlock. He's a good songwriter. Virtually ALL of his tunes were done better as covers by other people to whom God gave working vocal chords.

    haha, what utter nonsense. have you ever listened to albums like Nashville Skyline and a song like Subterreanen homesick blues?

    Bob Dylan has a perfect voice, especially his younger voice between 63-72 is good. However, i like the rusty cling it has now as well.

    Fred Phelps is no satire. that guy's Church and protests all over the USA and Canada are very real

    even i must admit that the way he presents his ideas is a bit whacked-out, however he does have an underlying point

    the point being that Churches must stand up and speak out against the evil upon this Earth. sadly, his whacked-out presentation is one of the few examples of Churches today actually being bold enough to stand up for their beliefs.

    i respect someone who is bold enough to stand up for what he believes in despite the world at large hating him for it.

    Gah! We don't hate him! We just want to hug him with our arms and hearts filled with idealistic, irrational love and put him into the care of our beautiful nurses at the nearest mental hospital, in Kansas, of course. We don't want him to miss home. If we ever harm him even if it's a single hair the Swedes will be VERY angry that we treat their secret American admirers badly.

    You respect someone so full of hate he would preach murder on others?

    Is this the kind of morality you are standing up for?
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    The Swedish Royal family have already taken legal actions against him, but with no success since in US this is ok.
    Strangely enough, this pattern seems familiar from the middle east and we all know what that ended in.......
