‘He Was Friendly to Me’ – My Blog

Bob Dylan usually lets his music speak for him, and he did just that during his first meeting with actor John Wayne. When two of pop culture’s biggest icons met, Dylan played some music, and Wayne did a bit of acting. It was an ordinary day of work.

However, it’s incredible when you think about it, especially since Dylan and Wayne were worlds apart in show business and expressed very different beliefs.
Bob Dylan met John Wayne in 1966
In an interview featured on his website, Dylan talked about meeting The Duke himself.

“Pretty good, actually,” Dylan said of how the two got on with each other. “The Duke, I met him on a battleship in Hawaii where he was filming a movie, he and Burgess Meredith. One of my former girlfriends was in the movie too, and she told me to come over there; she introduced me to him, and he asked me to play some folk songs.
“I played him ‘Buffalo Skinners,’ ‘Raggle Taggle Gypsy,’ and I think ‘I’m a Rambler, I’m a Gambler.’ He told me if I wanted to, I could stick around and be in the movie. He was friendly to me.”
Dylan and Wayne more than likely had similar music tastes. However, they didn’t have much else in common.

Dylan and Wayne had very different beliefs
The pair might not have known it when they met on that battleship in 1966, but Dylan and Wayne had very dissimilar tenets.
Dylan has used his music to protest things he disagreed with throughout his career. In fact, the musician became heavily involved in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. On the other hand, Wayne expressed different views on race.
In 1971, Wayne made controversial comments to Playboy (per Variety). He said he did not “feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago, these people were slaves” about Black people.
“I believe in white supremacy until the Blacks are educated to a point of responsibility,” Wayne said. “I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.”
Dylan didn’t name any of Wayne’s films as his favorite
Growing up, Dylan loved watching TV like any other kid. When the Dylan family got a TV, the singer was 14 or 15 years old. However, Dylan didn’t name any of Wayne’s films as his favorites to watch.
“I was about 14 or 15 when we got one, my dad put it in the basement,” Dylan said in the same interview featured on his website. “It came on at 3:00 and went off at 9, most of the other time it showed a test pattern, some kind of weird circular symbol.
“The reception wasn’t that good, there was a lot of snow on the screen, and you always had to adjust the antenna to get anything to come in. I liked everything I saw – Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Highway Patrol, Father Knows Best.
“There were theater dramas, too, like Studio One, Fireside Theatre. Quiz shows, too – Beat the Clock, To Tell the Truth, Queen for a Day, they were all good. There was one called You Are There with Walter Cronkite, The Twilight Zone, there were a bunch of them.”
Dylan also loved watching I Love Lucy, “all the time, non-stop.” Still, Dylan may or may not have watched Wayne’s films. He enjoyed their meeting, but it’s safe to say he probably wasn’t chopping at the bits to meet the actor again after finding out about Wayne’s racist comments.

For most couples, their wedding day is the happiest day of their lives.

A wedding is a celebration of love between two people who choose to spend their lives together. It marks the start of a new journey filled with shared experiences, personal growth, and mutual support.

A wedding is a happy time for the whole family to come together. From saying vows to sharing the first dance, weddings are full of special moments that create lasting memories. These memories are cherished by the couple and their loved ones for years.

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell discuss chemistry
After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”

‘Australia’s most sexually active woman’ reveals outrageous bedroom goal for 2025

A woman who has been dubbed the “most sexually active woman” in Australia has set her sights on a big goal for 2025.

You’ve probably heard of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips attempting to break outrageous records in the bedroom – and Annie Knight has now thrown her hat into the ring too.

“When I watched that clip of Lily crying and everyone was saying, ‘Oh my god, this poor girl,’ I just thought, well, she’s been getting railed all day by 100 different guys… imagine putting your body through that,” Knight told Metro.

“Yes, it’s emotionally taxing, but isn’t that like any job?” she added. “Everyone has moments where they’re like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ You do get really stressed. She’d be exhausted; her body would be exhausted. When you’re tired, your emotions are high.”

Knight also noted that some of the men involved in Phillips’ session were reportedly rude to her, emphasizing that dealing with negativity can be challenging in any profession.
