Who says you have to keep up with the new generation? Does that mean Bob Dylan has to start making Americana-albums? :roll:


Hmmm, I see your point there, Pieter. But my problem with it, basically is that it was a patchy, and indeed lazy LP. Since then I've rectified my opinion slightly. His heart didn't sound in it--some moments here and there, but it's a shadow of itself, and it seems really self-congratulatory too. Which is a shame, but then maybe I'll give it another go.
It's before my time but I've been told, he never came back from Karangahape Road.
