Re: Music- Why the hell can\'t we have more Bob Dylans?

Even Bob Dylan couldn't be Bob Dylan today. No record exec would give him the time of day.
It's not the artists, it's the industry. And it's the attitude that artists only release one album every 3 years or so. What's up with that? The Beatles released more music from 1964 to 1966 than some of today's artists will release in 20 years. It's tough to become a legend with only 3 albums. That makes you Boston.

Or look at Elton John when he was first coming up and still with Bernie Taupin(back when he was good, in my view).
Back in those days, George Harrison marveled at the incredible pace of Elton John's output, saying something on the order of, "He's amazing. I go to the toilet and come back and find he's put out three albums."
