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.

"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.

Yes I am. He was a protest / social critic type performer. He delivered a message. When the object of the message / protest fades, so do the protesters.
BTW, The first LP I ever purchased was one of his. Loved him back in the day, but that day is long gone. The 2nd LP I ever purchased was by Joan Baez. Shows you where my head was, and I was in the Army!!
Cheers.
