1) You've written extensively about particularly unique and culturally central groups/musicians, such as Bob Dylan, The Doors, The Sex Pistols etc.. In your opinion, who is the most significant musician/group in the past decade (particularly in the sense of illustrating the power of music), and why?
2) In "Self Portrait No. 25," you've certainly had some negative reactions to some of the tracks - regardless, Bob Dylan's still seems to still be worthy of notable consideration and reflection for you. Do the songs that you or others feel as less or even not at all successful contribute any significance for Dylan as an artist? That is, if his less impressive songs were simply not ever written, would Dylan be more impressive/significant, or do his failures somehow add something to his work, maybe a relatable human quality of fruitless attempts?
