You're repeating yourself, Dick. You provided that same quote (but not in quotation marks) way back on 12 May 00 at 3:15 PM on this very same thread...

Did Bob Dylan kick your dog once or something? You can compare Johnny Rotten to a kid writing on bathroom walls...or any number of heavy metal, punk, rap, and alternative songwriters, who swear constantly onstage to titillate their prepubescent audiences...but Dylan? I don't think so.

I am reminded of Mick Jagger, who once said of Madonna "a teaspoonful of talent in a sea of ambition"...

Now, I'm no Madonna fan, but in both cases I see a quite clever use of words, making a statement that is funny, snide, and has little if any actual bearing on the subject at hand, though in Madonna's case the part about the ambition was quite correct.

If you and Mick got together, I bet you could think up a few more of these devastating one-liners, and with any luck attain a certain form of immortality thereby...at least among a very limited audience.
