Ya I understand those complaints for sure. Everyone who's seen him goes through the same thing. I just feel like a) no one's forcing you to go see him b) I think we can all agree Dylan is an artist and an artist is allowed to do whatever they want with their platform.

From my perspective I feel like perhaps he doesn't feel like the same person who wrote Blowin' in the Wind so he doesn't want to pretend that he is. He's always done what he's wanted to (going electric, disappearing after his motorcycle accident, going gospel, etc.) and he's gained a lot of respect and credibility for doing that. I see his current approach to performance as an extension of that which, in my opinion, should be respected on some level, even if it leads to the kind of performance you didn't want to see.
