HOPEFULLY, WE SHALL “ALL” BE RELEASED FROM THE SERVITUDE OF THESE CORPORATE MASTERS WHO DID NOT CREATE THE MUSIC IN THE FIRST PLACE — GOD GAVE US ALL A FREE WILL AND ANYONE WHO LOVES YOUR MUSIC IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO PURCHASE IT ON ITS OWN ACCOUNT — THANK-YOU FOR ALL OF THOSE WONDERFUL MEMORIES, BOB. MAY YOUR LYRICS STILL RESONATE WITH THOSE WHO ARE MARGINALIZED BUT CONTINUE TO SEEK AND SPEAK THE TRUTH — THEY MAY JUST ABOUT BE THE MAJORITY THESE DAYS!

Let’s face it — DYLAN HAS SOLD OUT TO THE CORPORATIONS. SAD BUT TRUE. THE ANSWER MY FRIEND IS BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND BUT IT WILL BLOW BACK AT YOU COLUMBIA! REACTIONARY BEHAVIOUR SUCH AS THIS CANNOT STOP THE INEVITABLE MARCH OF PROGRESS — NEVER HAVE–NEVER WILL. STILL LOVE DYLAN FOR HIS MUSIC BUT WISH THAT HE WOULD REALIZE THAT THE RECORD COMPANIES ARE DIGGING HIS GRAVE FOR POSTERITY — THERE ARE MILLIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WILL MISS OUT ON THE CHANCE TO BE EXPOSED TO DYLAN’S WORK — THE MUSIC MAY BE TIMELESS BUT IT’S “LIVING’ VOICE WILL PERISH — IF SHORT-TERM PROFIT TRUMPS THE ART FORM ITSELF,THEY SHALL HAVE IT — AT LEAST FOR NOW — BUT THE ULTIMATE PRICE WILL BE STEEPER THAN THEY COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. BUT SINCE WHEN DO CORPORATIONS “IMAGINE” ANYTHING BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE?
