    Chris Swart, et al...

    You are obviously a Dylanologist. Just like a Scientologist, except you worship The Great Boob--I mean, Bob--instead of L. Ron Hubbard. And dear Chris, there is nothing more BORING than a zealot, particularly one who can't choose a pair of socks without consulting "Dylanetics"("Oh Bob! Joker socks or Thief socks?")

    Grow up? Since when does disliking arrogant HYPOCRITES a sign of not growing up? So hawking panties and banks is a sly, satirical COMMENT! Humbug; rich guy just wanted to get richer.

    I think most artists sell out. We've all heard Muzak versions of songs by some artist or band we like. All's I'm saying is that there will always be a warm place in my little black heart for those who DON'T opt for being musical versions of Harold Robbins or Thomas Kincaid.

    Brightstar and Captcrisis, hear, hear!
