Although I hate being negative, Bob's voice ruins this one for me. He sounds like some mythical creature that slept in a cave for a century and just woke up. Or like someone singing folk music(?) with a death metal voice. It's not like he's even trying to have a pleasant voice in this one. I wouldn't listen to Mark if he did 100 greenies during a song on purpose, either.

Bob knows his voice is shot and that it has always been known for being 'raspy' so I reckon he is singing with his tongue firmly in his cheek.

I agree.  Bob's barking voice ruined this song, especially as Mark's guitar playing was so elegant.   When it came to the end of the song Bob's harmonica almost completely drowned MK's solo - indeed it seemed to be deliberate.

I find it amusing that Bob is still annoying people after 60 years.

In this life there are people you "get" and people you don't. I "get" Bob and love him, crappy singing as all.

It seems for many people though the crappy singing and general half-arsedness really annoys some people, which is probably exactly what he is going for.

Probably. He really is a strange creature.
As a songwriter-poet there is no one dead, alive or yet to be born that can hold a candle to him, and that Nobel Prize was completely justified imho.
Musically, he doesn't seem to aim to reach a high standard, but that's probably not important.
What I find annoying though is how he treats his own loyal fans (although they seem to enjoy it?), people who pay to see him, and even people who work with him. Remember how he behaved towards MK's band during that "joint" tour, and how he even ignored Guy's son, who just wanted an autograph?
MK must be a real fan to put up with such a fellow. Twice.^^

I think being treated like you were the second coming for most of your life would make you wary of interaction with others, George Harrison was in a similar boat.

Yes, that's certainly true! But Bob's mystical behaviour hasn't exactly helped people to treat him normally either, has it?
He could take a few pages out of Mark's book and see if things get better. 
I can't really think of anyone in the music business who behaves like that almost all the time, even behind the scenes and with his peers. I mean, Elton John used to throw a few tantrums, Van Morrison can be difficult, and there may be a few others, but they are still more accessible and more human-like.
I don't know. I do admire him as an artist, and I respect a man who's worked so hard all his life and is still at it 83 years of age, but I just can't see why he thinks he has to be so rude.

Mark hasn't been cute and cuddly all his life either you know. There's that story about him covering italian fans in marker pen for one!

Of course not, but that's changed a lot. I don't think he'd flip out over sausages these days, and he's always been nice to children and youngsters.
What story is that about the Italian fans? I've never heard about it.

[dustyvalentino]

I read it on Facebook, basically the story went that MK came out of his hotel and was surrounded by crazy Italian fans looking for an autograph (I know not all Italian fans are crazy before someone has a go at me), he got so annoyed he grabbed a marker pen and started drawing all over the fans.
