    Oh, Sally

    What a banal gripe. "he sold panties" is this decade's "He can't sing" and "He used to be good, but everything he has done since Blonde on Blonde / Blood on the Tracks / Time out of Mind sucks."

    One of Dylan's greatest moves was the Victoria's Secret ad. It outed the folkies who were still hoping that he would regain his "integrity" and do as they demanded.

    Artists not only work for money, as an earlier poster put it; they act willfully as well.
