We've come a long way from early Dylan, from Altamont and from John & Yoko starting a revolution from their hotel bed. We all know now that songwriters are solipsists and narcissists. They can't lead a revolt they can only stand on the sidelines and be very very subjective about it.


They can make people think though so that should be applauded. Though I'm not necessarily referring to anything discussed here!


Totally. I owe the artists I was listening to from the age of 12 to 17ish a huge debt of gratitude. Especially the ones that went out of their way to connect their music to the literature and films that they had ripped off (rather than pretending all their ideas were original). They also made me think when I needed someone other than a parent or teacher to prompt me. I couldn't begin to list all the things I learned about for the first time through rock n roll artists though I am not sure they are really providing that kind of service any more!
