Dylan?

Someone said to me today “can you imagine when Bob Dylan dies?” At first I was like damn, that’ll be terrible. But then...Dylan hasn’t put out a great album since Blood on the Tracks, which was in 1975. Ever since then he’s been pretty clear that he doesn’t give a fuck. Everyone I know who’s been to a Dylan concert has said the same thing, that he just shits out his songs however he likes, to the point of being unrecognizable. Hell, I saw him join Bruce on the last show of The Rising Tour and it took 60,000 rabid fans to figure out he was singing “Highway 61”. 

Meanwhile Bruce, who is 7 years younger than Dylan, didn’t even have his biggest album until 1984. And since then he’s constantly been fighting to stay relevant - between The Rising and Magic and his Broadway Show, in 2020 Bruce Springsteen still matters. Does Dylan? Like The Beatles, is he frozen in the 60s? 🤔
