Digital music is rubbish - Bob Dylan

Strange comments from the guy who electrified folk music back in the 60's. I suspect he's talking more about modern audio engineering than the fact that modern music formats are digital, as CD's themselves are a digital format, and he doesn't seem to complain much about his sales of CD's.

On the other hand, there are those who swear that vacuum tubes and analog sounds are superior technologies... and those who hate digital cameras, preferring film.

You can't blame people for illegally downloading music for free, because that's about all it's worth, according to Bob Dylan, in an interview with Rolling Stone this month.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
