Bob Dylan finally makes sense....

RE:

In a recent interview Bob Dylan called music recordings "Atrocious" and went on to add that no good music has been made in the last 20 years, he went on to add that downloads should be free because the music is not worth anything anyway.
I have never really liked Dylan except for a few songs, but it is nice to see someone take a stand on how badly most music is recorded.

I highly doubt that dylan is an obsessive audiophile type who splits hairs about recording quality, about vtf, azimuth or things like this. My memory is a bit fuzzy but i remember reading about him exploring music and having a stack of cassettes on a table and exploring music like this! I would venture to say as a dylan fan that dylan is interested in "the song", how it hits him viscerally, whether from vinyl, cassette, am radio or 8 track.

When he lays down tracks its usually very quickly, the first or second take! Sometimes if he feels the song should come from a different angle he might go back and try it a different way but for the most part they are recorded quickly without alot of fuss.

It's nice to see someone not obsess about sound quality!

"music is not worth anything anyway" I'm sure his assets would show just how much it isn't worth. I think the old duffer is talking out his ass.
How pissed would he be if he missed one of his royalty checks? Anyone can say anything but reality is usually a bit different.

When the war is Viet-Nam and civil rights violence ended, his 15 minutes were up. He had a very small window. I think his latest outburst is driven by envy and sour grapes, because now, there are a lot of people with little or no talent making tons of money.
I have several of his albums, but seldom play them. He seems dated.

perhaps he meant that most music is "atrocious".

Rok2kid-are you being serious?
