A review by Bruce Elder of the BBC documentary Dancing in the Street,
Part 6 (?) in The Guide, Sydney Morning Herald, March 13, 2000 :
"There are still thousands of middle aged men (and a few women
I guess) who gather regularly to discuss the lyrical nuances of a minor
Minnesota born songwriter. It's sad really. They are held together in the
aspic of their long past youth. Well, here it is all again. The importance
of Bob Dylan on popular music. Gee, folks, he changed the nature of pop
lyrics. He is, according to his blind fans, the greatest poet/artist/songwriter
of the century.
Admire the quality of this excellent series, but marvel also
at the foolishness that - in an age of the Spice Girls and Shania Twain
- argues that some old, irrelevant fogey deserves to be lionised. The times
have truly changed and Dylan fans just don't get it."
