Yeah, Sweets professed musical tastes confuse me, too. If he said he was a fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd that'd be natural. Or maybe Pat Boone. But Dylan?

At some point he must've figured out that Dylan is widely acclaimed, and so liking him demonstrates his sophisticated taste. Sort of how the buttons on his hat show the world how humorous he is. Or maybe Dylan is just what passes for edgy where he's from. Or better yet, maybe Dylan is actually a crypto conservative folk hero that only Sweets truly gets.

I think he's one of those "musical purists" who believes music is only good if the singer plays guitar. Or any music past the Disco Era that isn't Heavy Metal.
 
Sweet did say something about wanting to play a harmonica, which I think (having seen him a couple of times since the turn of the century) hasn't been a part of Dylan's musical style or touring act since possibly before Sweet was born, but hey, change is a liberal ploy and all that. (Also, he's probably one of those idiots who thinks learning to play a harmonica well is totally simple because it's a small, hand-held instrument. Ahahaha.)

He probably listens to Toby Keith, Hank Williams, Big and Rich, and Ted Nugent, not the music that has turned AMERICA into a Black Propelled Wasteland like Neil Young, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest.

He only listens to music he is told about by people he believes in hook line and sinker most likely. That and he absorbed whatever his parents most likely listened to.
 
I think I found a photo of Sweet when he was a newspaperman:

I'M THE NEW BAD BOY OF COLLEGE JOURNALISM! I JUST POOPED MY PANTS, WANNA SEE?

Yeah, Thumbles McCrushedface never got any fan mail.

Sweet's "fan mail" was exactly like the gifts he received.

The letters generated by his badly written, error-filled crap were generally fine examples of mockery and sarcasm. Even faculty members joined in the fun. It shouldn't surprise anyone that Sweet regards letters that ridiculed him as "fan mail." People who harassed and hazed him were, after all, worshiping him "like a god." Except for the one who gifted him with a trash can. I can't understand why he doesn't regard that as a present. I mean, it did quite literally rain down upon him.

Sweet also claims that his fans "turned" on him when he was fired after confessing to plagiarism. In fact, there wasn't a single letter to the editor complaining about the absence of the illiterate fat guy who used to write the "humor" columns that imitated the way special-needs students write. The end of Sweet's career as the Uncle Remus of retarded people was lamented by no one except Jonathan Sweet his own self.

Reminds me of this old post by Meowthkip, quoting Sweet:

The day after the hammer came down, my Pamela Anderson poster was defaced [...] I think that's when it really hit me, what had happened. It's like they knew I had fallen from grace. I had gone from god on earth to the floor joke overnight. I cried.

OH NOES NOT HIS PAMELA ANDERSON POSTER! :'(

Holy shit, the mental picture of him crying is incredibly funny. I don't mean that in an A-Log way, but seriously, just imagine it for a sec.

A less bald but still equally thumb-faced man (college aged at this time, let's not forget), perhaps curled up in the fetal position, sobbing brokenheartedly as he clutches the remnants of a fucking Pamela Anderson poster.
 
According to that letter he has on his site, Sweet confessed to ripping the idea for his column off the SNL skit, and that confession was on file as of the time of that email. And just to clarify for those of you just joining the party: Sweet was not expelled for plagiarism. He was kicked off the Herald staff for that offense. Had he left it at that, that would have been the end of it, and he would have gone on to get a graduate degree. He was expelled because he carried out a three-semester campaign of harassment that culminated in him making threats that saw him expelled when he refused to comply with the order to get a psych eval. He claims he didn't get one because it would have cost him $500, but we're not sure. He also thinks this was part of the conspiracy to get him expelled and that we uncovered the truth and this will get him back into ASU.

Agree, but with one small correction. He was fired from The Herald early in the spring of 1997. The campaign of terror he waged in his retarded attempt to get reinstated at the paper lasted for the rest of that semester, the fall semester of '97, the spring semester of '98 (after which he received his B.A.) and the fall semester of '98 (his first and only semester of grad school). He stalked, harassed and threatened people for four semesters after his termination. Any other university would have expelled him before he received his undergraduate degree.

And here's an interesting little tidbit from those who were there:

At some point after he was fired from the paper for confessing to having committed plagiarism, Sweet took a class in creative writing. (Yeah, I know. Impossible to imagine Sweet involved in something that requires both writing and creativity, two things he sucks at.) The professor teaching the class eventually recognized the barely disguised characters that appeared in all of his stories and had to order Sweet to stop turning in work that involved Sweet's self-insert killing the staff of the college newspaper. At any normal university, the prof would have been required to turn Sweet's revenge fantasies over to the dean of judicial affairs and the campus police. And Sweet would have been out on his non-creative, non-writing autistic ass.
 
ASU was far too tolerant with him. At my university, he would have been expelled at the first incident of harassment and would not have been around to conduct a campaign of terror. I know we're pretty sure he's autistic, but there has to be some reason he was so fixated on returning to a paper that came out what, once, twice a week? Is it because he thought he had fans? Because of the privileges he mistakenly believes reporters have? Seriously, that obsession ruined his life.

It was a tiny paper that came out twice a week.

And the only reason he was there was that his tard wrangler brought him in out of pity, a decision that said tard wrangler regrets to this day.

Sweet cites all kinds of reasons for why he must return to The Herald. But only one reason is apparent to the disinterested observer: Jonathan Mack Sweet is mentally ill.

Did he actually have someone assigned to mind him, or was it just some well-meaning faculty person who took pity on a low-functioning sociopath and got burned?

It was the guy who still works at the ASU library, Mark Berky, who wrote to Sweet in 2009 that he would be filing complaints with five different police agencies the next time Sweet contacted him.

He was a nontraditional student in his late thirties or early forties and thought he was performing an act of Christian charity by bringing the lonely and pathetic campus buffoon onto the paper. Little did he know that lonely and pathetic were mere camouflage for autistic and sociopathic.

Right here (and below) is Sweet describing the document he signed. It sounds like the campaign of harassment began even before he was formally dismissed from the paper. Read it and weep -- or laugh, which is what I did:

Autism Incarnate wrote:

Secondly, if Mr. Berky has access to my file, I'd suggest he examine my termination contract abit [sic] more closely. The word "crime" and its variants appear eleven times in the document. [Emphasis added for lulz.] Not once do you see the words "mistake" or "oversight". If not a conspiracy, then at least Mr. Berky can concede this is dangerously loaded language and likely may have poisoned the minds of the editorial board, perhaps biasing their decision and erasing any hopes of a fair and impartial hearing. Ntoe [sic] also the word "harrass" [sic] --which along with other buzzwords liberals employ, like "threatening", "attacking, "hate speech", and "whining"--is a leftist codeword [sic] for "question the Party". Thirdly, I contacted Mr. Berky because I (perhaps foolishly) trust him and thought I'd have at least one moderate liberal friend on the inside. I should learn to take my own advice: never trust a lib, their loyalty is always to The Party, and a liberal friend is just someone who hasn't yet thrown you under the bus when thy [sic] decide your friendship becomes a liability. Finally, I am sending Officer Shelton an e-mail., with a complinentary [sic] copy of Belch Dimension Comics attached, to plead my case. With any luck this matter can be settled amicably out of court, and I can have my way on this deal.

Yes, Sweet sent a copy of one of his retarded comics to a police officer, thinking that his autistic doodles would make it clear to law enforcement that they were dealing with a rational human being. The mind boggles.

EDIT TO ADD:

Note that Sweet's ravings above are from his "Welcome to Lemora" page and are quite different from his ravings on the very same topic in his "Fekul the Baby" journal, which can be found right here. (Search for "Mark Berky.")
