Does Adam Sandler look like Bob Dylan!

Asked by mrrich724 (8550points) June 6th, 2011

Bare with me here. . . I haven’t seen too much Dylan, for I was born in ‘85, and I don’t get into things just because they’ve been deemed cool.

Needless to say, I heard “Maggie’s Farm” the cover version by Rage Against the Machine, and while initially engrossed in deep thought about the Anti-government message in the song, all the sudden I was like “HOLY SHIT, ADAM SANDLER IS BOB DYLAN”

Now is this just me? Or is it possible? And have people noticed this along time ago, am I late to the doppleganger party?

And now, I want someone to come out with a Dylan movie and cast Sandler as the lead role. Sandler isn’t bad at serious roles . . . (ala Reign Over Me)

Sure, Adam Sandler has the look but check out Jimmie Fallon…

I have to say nah to all of them. It takes more than a schnoz, a curly mop, or a harmonica and some raspy vowels. I well remember the look and sound of the young Bob Dylan, and those guys are not only not spot on, to me they don’t even come close. The only one I ever heard who really nailed a Dylan impression was Joan Baez.

Wait, is that a complement?

From time to time, both in concert and in recordings, she deliberately imitates him while performing one of his songs. It’s almost uncanny: she evokes him perfectly. So yes, I’d compliment her on her impression of Dylan (and for much else besides).

Here’s an example: ‘A Simple Twist of Fate.’ Her voice shifts at about 2:17.

It’s just you.

I really don’t see it.

It’s okay. :)

LOL, Thanks. I was convinced though. I still think so :)

@Jeruba The Joan Baez reference was good.

This is nice. I never thought about it. Yes, i think Adam Sandler will be great playing Bob Dylan. Adam has always been one of my fav. It’ll be really nice. And yes, Joan Baez is the best when it comes to the Bob Dylan imitation. I don’t think anyone else can do better than her.

He looks like Bob Dylan from the 80’s, yes.
