Russ has designated the Culture Forum for the Arts. Why presume to become an authority unto yourself by ignoring his public forum format?

"Forum censorship won't let me, cause bad words upset fragile minds."

If so, why post the abbreviation for these "bad words" in an RHP Public Forum?
Also, "upset fragile minds" or violate Red Hot Pawn Terms Of Service?.

Haven't any idea what this abbreviation may mean, though there was an advertisement
for "Lucky Strike Cigarettes ["Means Fine Tobacco"] "LSMFT" decades ago.

* musical quality as evidenced by...
*depth of lyrics?
* number of fans?
* number of no1 hits?
* "legacy" and what exactly would mean this.
So far I think I saw mainly what fans think so they judge their idols and the artists they don't like so well...
Originally posted by moonbusreally, which Dylan songs ?
I think Bob Dylan deserves a higher ranking than Lennon/McC. Beetles tunes are now played in elevators; that's a big comedown. Whereas a number of Dylan's songs have passed into the collective consciousness.
and Beatles songs haven't?
posted as a lover of both
Originally posted by moonbusTunes being played in elevators is a pretty good example of them having passed into the collective consciousness, I reckon.

Many of Dylan's songs have been covered by other people, so much so that several generations of music lovers have grown up not knowing that the covers are covers and that Dylan wrote them. "Knock knocking on Heaven's Door," "Blowin in The Wind," "Mr. Tambourine Man" -- and don't forget where the Rolling Stones got their name.
