Don't want to? Fine. Take a walk. Just don't think for a second you've got a clue on Dylan.
No doubt he's a great artist and can perform when he wants to. But before anyone puts out serious cash for tickets - if he's still on the take - keep in mind that he has a track record of putting on pitifully disappointing shows. Dylan aficionado or not, a 35 minute concert (injury, etc aside) is a rip-off whether one is in the forest or simply among the trees. |

Dylan ripped me off for $40 in '88 - worst concert ever then too! He played 35 minutes, it all sounded like it was the same key, same beat, same 3 chords, same lead guitar patterns (GE Smith), same unintelligible vocal. I was a long-time fan and it was tough for me to even recognize some of the tunes. Then he played 2 or three rushed acousticals and left. Nobody could believe it when the lights came on. I've never heard such loud and prolonged booing. |

Nice point except for this song is great and Fogerty's tune sucks ass!!  Other than that though, good point! |

I commented about this recently as well, and would like to say again my favorite part was this: Bringing his guitar to the witness stand, he played excerpts from both songs, demonstrating that many songwriters (himself included) have distinctive styles that can make different compositions sound similar to less discerning ears. I think the comment about "less discerning ears" is very telling, and likely even more relevant today. I also wonder, as I do with the Betamax case, what the result would be if the trial were held today. Given the success the RIAA has enjoyed extracting million-dollar judgments from grandmothers and teenagers in cases where there was no commercial distribution, I have a feeling we would see a different result in today's "information economy." |

Love how Fogerty got sued for plagiarizing himself on Old Man Down the Road Saul Zaentz, owner of Fantasy Records claimed that "The Old Man Down The Road" shared the same chorus as "Run Through The Jungle" (a song from Fogerty's days with Creedence Clearwater Revival years before. Fogerty had relinquished copy and publishing rights of his Creedence songs to Zaentz and Fantasy, in exchange for release from his contractual obligations to same). The defendant Fogerty ultimately prevailed, when he showed that the two songs were whole, separate and distinct compositions. Bringing his guitar to the witness stand, he played excerpts from both songs, demonstrating that many songwriters (himself included) have distinctive styles that can make different compositions sound similar to less discerning ears. |
