I stopped reading when I realized you don't actually know what you're talking about. If Another Self Portrait is revealing, the original must be better than you say. After all it contains many of the same songs and the "new voice". It is certainly nowhere near "appalling". I've always rather liked it which either makes me an idiot or you late to the parade. IMO, while there are better albums, there is no "worst" Dylan album. The man's a genius and the best musician of the last 50 years. His worst, heck this bootleg stuff that has never been released, is more interesting and has more staying power than many, nay, most artists' best.

Well, I want to catch it but it sure makes me wonder what kind of conversations Steve and Bruce have on tour.

The words haven't changed. It's only a leftist piece of garbage now? It was never about being proud to be born in the USA. I'm not getting your point.

Blame anyone you want. Yes it's very hypocritical but no one forced her to marry Brown or abuse drugs. In Hollywood or Deadwood, it's nearly impossible to stop really determined self-destruction. RIP Whitney.

In fact, it was Springsteen becoming "The Boss" and making a gazillion bucks that ended his Everyman appeal for me. By the way, Born in the USA was anything but a proud to be born in the USA anthem. You might want to listen to the lyrics closely, if you thought it was.

"Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up"

RIP Whitney. Springsteen's shtick is getting very old as is Paul McCartney who, at least, was entertaining even though his voice is but a shadow of its former self. I'd like to hear Adele produced differently. With a voice like that, the slightly over the top arrangements aren't necessary. I liked the guitar work but The Foo Fighters are badly in need of a singer.
Nicky Minaj? What the hell was that? Preposterous, pretentious, petulant and musically pathetic. The Grammys can't find anything remotely better than that in an attempt to be edgy? Yikes that was just bad verging on lame.

Much ado about nothing. Basically, a boring game with a boring halftime show. Did someone flip the bird? How progressive and edgy! Yawn.

Imagine? WORST SONG OF ALL TIME??? That's just so totally ridiculous and saying so makes you an absolute musical moron. Hey, I'm not saying it's the best but ... do you even listen to music? I pronounce you a professional troll.

It may surprise you that I have read Conan Doyle. Seems to me that Holmes solved crimes using deductive reasoning, not his fists. Making him into Batman may please you but other than attempting to make a ton of money off of those who have no idea of the nature of Holmes, the logic eludes me. Each to their own.

Holmes as action hero? The first film was a travesty and although I like Downey, I will avoid this like the plague. Is nothing sacred? What's next? Joan of Arc with super powers?
