Totally with you Jeff - you've managed to say succinctly what I had to ramble on about to reach.

Cheers

Sean, as I said in my last post, I’ve no interest in Dylan’s behaviour or attitudes towards money (or anything else) outside of his art. The situation with him at the Isle of Wight festival that you mention is probably disappointing for you, but I have never held him up as a paragon of virtue merely because he happened to write “idealistic” lyrics up until around 1963. The “sincerity” or “insincerity” of an artist has never been something that has caused me much concern. For me, art exists outside of its creators once it has been created. Also, I’m never interested in the “gossip column” sort of ephemera that surrounds artists who are celebrated. I realise, though, that I might be a little eccentric in this regard, given the “reality” TV world we live in today.
