Bob Dylan
A moral and aesthetic struggle. Does he get a pass like Prince or The Rolling Stones for creating brilliant music in the beginning and then sliding into sameness and reliance on back-catalog sales? And here’s why I think he’s doesn’t: because no one runs around telling you how atom-smashing the new Prince or Rolling Stones records are. But Dylan, every single time he burps onto a compact disc, the fogeys are like, “This is the work of an elder statesman! He’s the ‘Lion In Winter’!” And if it weren’t for him I would have never had to listen to Ani DeFranco.

Bob Dylan couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Bob Dylan doesn't make records to be atom-smashing . He makes them because that is the music he makes. Not to be loved by the masses but to be enjoyed by his fans.
