Blimey, who rattled Joni's cage?
Apr. 23rd, 2010 01:01 pmThere are times when....um....you just know that some things shouldn't be spoken about.
This rather took me aback for a bit and then I considered. Of course Joni is materially correct in her analysis of the differences between Bob Dylan and herself. Dylan is the great appropriator; and she is an artist who ploughs her own furrow, monomaniacally even. Where they are similar however is in the merit of their respective achievements in the field of songwriting.
Mozart stole, from wherever he could. He'd owe blackbirds royalties in this day and age. Poor great deaf Ludwig agonised to create.
I wonder if his Bobness will respond?
