      <![CDATA[Dylan might not always be right, but he is true to himself. I'm not sure that the same can be said for many in the celebrity-driven culture today.

      <![CDATA[Everyone tells him he's the best songwriter, he probably never gets to hear any good new music, hears some Fraz Ferdinand, and draws the conclusion that there are no good songwriters. That makes perfect sense.

      <![CDATA[I feel ya, Mike, but we must remember the old adage, separate the art from the artist.<br>
<br>
It is true that he's fallen back on this whole blues 1-4-5 adventure, but he still fires out some interesting phrasing here and there.<br>
<br>
When he was behaving as a precocious teenager in the interviews, I think he was just taking his opportunity to say the things that any of us who are critical of the state of our society would say if we had the chance (or were brave enough). I'm in my mid twenties, and while I'm grateful for living in NYC and attending fun shows and parties and all, I can't help but think of the cost that my and everyone else's excess here causes for those who weren't born fortunate.

      <![CDATA[Thanks for chiming in, but: Meh, Dylan's only ever been able to play the role of mighty truth-teller in song. He's always behaved like a petulant or, at at best, precocious teenager in interviews.

      <![CDATA[It really sounds like you're a guy who just got dumped by an awful significant other and Dylan is the friend who is telling you straight up that it was problematic and not worth it but you're offended because you don't want to hear the truth.
