Bob Dylan Was The Source Of Pop

Elton John Can Be A Master Of The Sleight Of Hand. The Arrangements Make It Seem Like There Are Substantial Melodies Underneath The Tracks - But Almost Nothing Demands Repeated Listenings. Similarly, He Always Sounds Like He's Singing Up A Storm, But His Voice Glosses Over The Material, Reducing Most Things To An Uninteresting Sameness.

The Rolling Stones Are Constantly Changing, But Beneath The Changes They Remain The Most Formal Of Rock Bands. Their Successive Releases Have Been Continuous Extensions Of Their Approach, Not Radical Redefinitions, As Has So Often Been The Case With The Beatles.

Bob Dylan Has Always Sealed His Decisions With The Unexplainable. His Motives For Withholding The Release Of The Magnificent 'basement Tapes' Will Be As Forever Obscure As Brian Wilson's Reasons For The Destruction Of The Tapes For 'smile.'

'sing It Again Rod' Touches All The Solo Bases Since Stewart's Departure From The Jeff Beck Band, Wherein He Cut His Teeth On American Audiences For $75 A Week Plus Expenses, And Wisely Ignores His Generally Inferior Work With The Faces.

What Makes The Stones' Arrogance So Divine Is That We All Believe That Long Ago And Far Away They Weren't Rich And Famous But Poor And Struggling, Just Like Us.
