Subject: RE: Carthy Discusses Dylan
I just listened to the program[me] in question, just in the nick of time. I think this is the final day that the replay is available.

It was more than interesting, even to someone like me who has heard, seen, and read pretty much everything available about these characters and their various genres and areas of interest, both back at the time when it was actually happening and ever since.

I can only be amused by the spoutings of the Dylan-haters, and amazed that they still haven't gotten over their problems.

I certainly don't expect other people to share my tastes, but if one doesn't enjoy and/or doesn't "get" a given performer's output, why is it so difficult to simply ignore/forget the object of one's supposed indifference? Why be so continually obsessed, why harbor such bitter feelings toward an artist whose taste no longer concides with one's own? A performer, after all, can hardly be expected to present material that does not represent his own tastes and feelings.
