Whilst bouncing around an airport a couple of weeks ago, (Waiting to fly out to a beautiful Greek island, Paxos,) I trawled through the magazine racks and came across a new publication.

"The Definitive Guide To Rock's Ultimate Icons" Uncut Legends #1. The first issue is devoted to Bob Dylan. A little less than 150 pages. Being a Dylan fan, I bought it. A great read, apart from one nasty little sentence.

On page 46 under the heading 'Demolition Man' one Nigel Williamson, is assessing Dylans 1970 album 'Self Portrait' He asks,

What was this songwriting genius doing crooning songs by pale imitators such as Paul Simon and Gordon Lightfoot?

I have to say to Mr Williamson, if you see me on the street, you would be wise to cross to the other side
