Bob Dylan finally makes sense....

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.

Rok2id I think you are leaving lots of great music on the table based on incorrect assumptions you seem to have, but that's my opinion and your choice.

Rok2id, I think you are confusing the mass media's representation of Bob Dylan with Bob Dylan the artist. Limiting him to a protester/social critic is like saying Louis Armstrong only sang "Hello Dolly".

Onhwy61 / Rpeluso:

I guess I will have to haul out my box set and get to know Mr Dylan again. My memory could be faulty. After all, it was a few centuries ago when I was 'young'. I did see him live once in concert in Nurnberg, Germany.The concert was held at the same stadium that the nazi party rallies were held. Sort of ironic. Thanks for your posts.

Rok2id-I suggest you take a listen to Time Out Of Mind. Or Modern Times. Enjoy.

Rok2id-I have to say I envy your position of not being familiar with Dylan's music from the past 15-20 years, there is so much in there that I really love and admire and respect, I wish I could find an artist like that who I am not familiar with and then take the time to discover the treasure trove that awaits me. I hope you derive pleasure from the discovery.
