I agree. I think many people who grew up in the iconoclastic sixties have a bias against things that have existed for centuries, and in favor of anything new and different. What they seem to forget is that some things have existed for centuries because they are valid and beautiful and they resonate with the bodies and brains and spirits of human beings...who also happen to have existed for quite a few centuries.

kat, it's not the use of Dylan's lyrics that I object to--there are many gorgeous musical settings of other people's words. It's the sound of Corigliano's music.
