It's about time this topic was addressed. Why do we need A.P. Carter, Bill Monroe and the like when we already have plenty of songs? And that Zimmerman guy who wrote so much, he changed his name to Dylan because the stuff was so bad. And come to think of it, did we really need Dylan Thomas' poetry when we already had a young man from Nantucket, who carried it 'round in a bucket? A little more respect for the classics is definitely in order.
