Mark Ronson Snubs Dylan For Lily Allen

And Amy Winehouse too...

July 19, 2007 by Scott Colothan

Mark Ronson has revealed that he’s been offered the chance to produce Bob Dylan – but insists that Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen are his top priorities.

The hotshot producer says that he’s been approached by several high profile artists, including Dylan, Mani and Paul Weller who all want to work with him in some form.

He said: “I’m getting lots of people coming forward and saying they like what I do, which is mind-blowing – especially when it’s Dylan and Weller.

“Mani from The Stone Roses came up to me at a party and said I should cover one of their tracks. I was blown away as they’re one of my favourite bands of all time.”

But Ronson, concedes that he only has eyes for two special ladies. WENN quotes him as saying: “Amy and Lily are my priority. As long as they want to work with me, I’ll do something with them.”

I’ve never heard of these girls. Who are they? How stupid can you be to refuse Bob Dylan?

I’m sure Dylan’s not too worried - he’s obviously got staying power - we’ll see how Mark Ronson does, say....40 years or so from now!

As Bob said to that ’Judas’ guy back in 1966: ”I don’t believe you. You’re a liar!”

Ditto on never hearing of ”Amy and Lily.” Who is Mark Ronson? Never heard of him either. If Dylan wants a producer I’m sure they are lining up to work with him, though he has said he wants to produce himself from now on.

What a stupid bastard. Mark Ronson must be smoking crack to turn down Bob Dylan. Trainwrecks Lily and Amy will not be around in 20 years, but 60 years from now, our childrens children will still be listening to Bob Dylan.
