Bob Dylan finally makes sense....

Easy Nrchy. If you're directing your vitriole at me, you need to read a bit more carefully. I never said stop doing it and/or questioned the relevancy. BTW, personal attacks are unnecessary.

Try decaf at the Gordon Lightfoot concert. Maybe he can hit the high notes but you can't hear them. :-)))

Tell 'em Nrchy -- Once a fan, always a fan. And the reason the old songs/artists are revered like Gods? Because many of them had and still have more writing AND performing talent than most of the overproduced musicians today (although there are many great ones). I'll listen to Dylan and the Stones live anyday over just about anyone beacause they are still great.

Audiofeil I'm not sure what you might have said, but I think it's more critics that deem the aging musician irrelevant. I was thinking of many who have condemned artists for supposedly not putting out material as good as their 'last LP.'

I'm not sure that there is a critic anywhere that has ever really added anything to the musical landscape! BUT maybe some of the earlier comments got me thinking along those lines...

Should any one of us be turned away from our jobs because we are aging, or not as handsome/pretty as we were in our prime, whenever that was... I'm still waiting. How did I get to be over the hill without ever making it to the top???

So yesterday I saw Dylan pimping IPODS on TV, is this a bit of a Hypacritical move on his part?
To take a stand against bad recordings and then market the Ipod seems a bit odd, maybe he smoked to many joints to not understand that as long as the IPOD is marketed by folks like himself nothing is going to change.
No matter how you feel about my opinion I think Bob Jumped the Shark and sold out.

I bet he's devastated to hear of your turn around!
