Never dug Janis, Bob Dylan is one of my fav's if not for the vocal range the lyrics are just awesome. "Tangled up in Blue" has to be, lyrically mind you, the best song ever penned.
Rod was fabulous with the original band but after Wood became a Stone and Ronny Lane got sick and Disco showed up, well I lost interest. Every Picture tells a Story is a great album and Mandolin Wind is still one of my favorite tunes.
The problem with new material and older artists is that the culture of this country is obsessed with youth and the appearence of it. Old blues musicians still banging away in the 70's and 80's are acceptable but a white guy in his fifties is not, could never understand that.
If your a rocker, keep rocking away. I still love my Never Mind the Bollocks cd by the Sex Pistols! God Save the Queen is more pertinent now than in 76' when it was written, "No future for you"!!!
Dave, rock on!!!!!!
