Title: still ruining pop music after all these years
Review: Bob Dylan was a watershed. Before him, the great songwriters like Cole Porter and the Gershwins actually wrote things that made sense, and this continued even into the early sixties. But when Dylan proved to all the rock and rollers that you could write meaningless drivel and "sing" it in an ugly croak and impress rock critics (who are not geniuses) without even trying, pop music deteriorated beyond repair. Soon we had punk, and now we have guys talking into a microphone while a drum machine plays ("rap"--it's not music). Thanks, Bob. You're the guy most responsible for ruining popular music.
