Well, its a dirty old world we live in and music is dirty business that`s for sure. Is it possible to separate your art and your integrity, your ego and your conscience from the business of your product?
Sure. There`s no product without a business model or a channel behind it. Similarly there`s no revolution without subscribers to it`s system of belief or even it`s system of belief marketing. Does that mean Bob Dylan was an out and out liar or just a business man with his finger on the generation/brand pulse? Who knows and who damn well cares?
No-one. Because whilst the deep rooted ideas of the sixties may have made their way into current day thinking osmotically – the world hasn`t changed, except perhaps for the fact that we`re all hyperconnected, climate change will kill our species, eventually; all marketeers are bare faced liars and science battles god in an unsuccessful war of attrition. He wrote some great numbers…man. Jesus.
