On the other hand, if you remember the 60s you weren’t really there. 🤪
Kiss was never rared as never rated very high so how can be overrated? Actually they had one good song. It’s on KISS Unplugged, their cover of the Stones song, 2000 Man. 
Anyone who doesn’t like the Beatles either listened to them too much or not enough.
Yes, artists should just stand there and do nothing. That is the sure sign of an real artist. And Dylan never even wore makeup, costumes or weird hairdos. I was always fond of the rock star “photo album” that showed Dylan as a hobo roasting wieners over the fire out in the woods somewhere.

You wrote,
“The "song" he performed was terrible, with a pedestrian chord progression, no melody, and clich’ed lyrics. There were at least ten other people on stage, including a bunch of background singers. Pure showbiz bs.”

Are you referring to Beck or Dylan there? Help me out.😛 I hate it when artists try to be entertaining. 
Dylan enjoys putting people on. Fair enough? 😛 I like She’s About a Mover and Rubber Ball as much as the next guy, but come on! As far as Beck goes, I suspect it’s a generation thing. 😀
Well, duh! Dylan picks his opening act. It’s not an accident. Of course he would say something good about Beck. Geez! Of course, Dylan has also said good things about Ricky Nelson, Booby Vee and The Sir Douglas Quintet. 
Beck has 5 Grammys. His first two albums (more than 20 years ago) went platinum and double platinum, respectively, some time ago. Not bad for a young punk.
