...but J-bird, you're apparently a bull$#!+ shoveler to boot. It's like you compare apples to oranges and then switch in mid stream to waxing poetic about the health benefits of dingleberries because you're determined to convert folks to the kind of fruit you're most knowedgable about.Early Elvis had great potential and certainly the savvy Colonel found every angle to milk profit from his discovery as effectively as Terry Knight did for GFR. However, in later years Elvis became a campy joke, a revered icon to some who worshiped the legend, regrettably, but to many little more than a reinstone covered shill who went Hollywood and then sold out in Vegas so that middle aged housewives could get giggly over his safe sexual teasing. IMHO, Elvis wasn't even the king of rock 'n' roll even though he managed to acquire the label over time. From that same era Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis have better claim to the title KING of R'n'R.
And if you're saying that Dylan didn't change and was never an anti-war folk artist, ...well, that's just crazy. Dylan adjusted his style constantly, and my point here is that adjusting isn't necessarily trend following, but rather trend setting, whether one is into the trend or not. Dylan constantly adjusted to the volatility of the times, because in times of volatility music lovers often seek experimentation, change and confrontation that results in controversy.
Let me clue you in here dude: next time you say something out your arse about someone's knowledge of music you'd better have something more astute to back it up with besides rhetorical smoke. Your uninformed opinions are getting rather tedious and you still haven't provided the "musical manifesto" you promised but are apparently 'too busy' to edit and post. The world awaits your genius! Don't leave folks hanging; tell us how the music industry REALLY works! ;^)
Cheers,
