Seriously, why didn't you get some other artist to do the first performance. You could have grabbed from the hip-hop, trance, techno, death-metal, or any other genre. The listener would have recieved the same experience - the "feeling" that someone has defecated on the music they love. To be positive; John didn't go the Rolling Stones style symphony orchestra route; but his composition was painful.

Dylan is music for the masses. How does that performance bring music to masses?

Why didn't they grab some people from other cultures to do this. I bet they would have actually heard a Dylan tune in their lifetime and actually do a better job interpreting it their own way.

The final performance by Howard Fishmann was good.

Interesting, though there is some loss here and some gain...I'll continue to listen to the original with this new experience somewhere in my mind, I'm sure.
