In response to a recent positive tweet from Bob Dylan’s newly active account, Nick Cave expressed his appreciation by describing the encounter as “a lovely happy beat”.
Last week, Dylan took to his social media account to share his thoughts on Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ recent concert in France. Specifically, Dylan mentioned the song “Joy” from Cave’s seminal album, “Wild God,” which had caught his attention during a performance just two days earlier.
He said in a tweet, “Recently saw Nick Cave in Paris at the Accor Arena and I was really impressed by the song Joy when he sang ‘We’ve all had so much sadness, now the time to rejoice.’
“I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s right,” he added.

Upon hearing this comment, it seems that Cave, who is a huge Dylan fan, was very touched. He has pursued the art of musician before and has performed many of his songs.
Cave addressed the issue on his occasionally updated Red Hand Files newsletter, expressing surprise at Dylan’s admission and describing the tweet as “a lovely beat of joy through the mood.” my exhausted, zombie-like state.”
Cave continued, “I was delighted to meet Bob on “
He continued, “I really feel like this is a time for joy rather than sadness. There has been so much hopelessness and despair surrounding the election, and one can’t help but ask that politics Since when has it become everything?
Over the past few weeks, curiosity has grown surrounding increased activity on Dylan’s Twitter account. The recent increase in engagement seems to indicate a shift from promotional content to personal comments directly from Dylan.
In addition to sharing tips on where to find New Orleans’ best eats and paying a belated tribute to the late comedian Bob Newheart, Dylan also piqued curiosity about a mysterious woman named Mary Jo.
In September, he tweeted, “Happy birthday Mary Jo! See you in Frankfort.”
Researching the remarkable variety of Mary Jos, Rolling Stone magazine has identified a number of famous individuals bearing this name, such as Canadian actress and culinary expert Mary Jo Eustace, boxer brother Mary Jo Sanders and fantasy author Mary Jo Putney.
However, none of these Mary Jos are affiliated with Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan started posting on Twitter that was 100% perfect while typical old celebrities were running away in droves. The ultimate rebel, posting about the Nick Cave concert in Paris and how we need more joy in life, God bless him.

Bob Dylan being a fan of Nick Cave is very “fork found in the kitchen” but to me it’s still very interesting, I don’t care
