I hope he makes a billion dollars! He deserves every penny. For me, Dylan is one of the best songwriters who ever lived.

He has had to put up with a ton of crap from people who were unhappy when he went from acoustic to electric. Even the press jumped on the bandwagon of disparaging him.

I consider myself lucky to have seen him live on several occasions, the last time in Italy in 2018.

Amazingly, I still remember the lyrics to BoB Dylan's 115th Dream.

Cheers,

Billy

Wow - that's insane to me, but kudos, as Billy said above me he is immensely talented and seriously changed music.

Well, as old as he is, I think $300 million in hand is going to be a lot more than what he will make from Spotify between now and his funeral.... What is it, $.000000000000000000008 per play? LOL!

I think he got shortchanged. Stevie Nicks just sold 80 percent of her catalog and got 100 mil. What did she have 3 hits??? Dylan sold 600 songs!

Nicks probably wrote that many songs. Just that only those 3 were any good. Not a fan.

I'm a huge Dylan fan. He's written and performed so many great songs. His commercial hits hardly scratch the surface of his utter brilliance. I hope he has time to enjoy his well earned income.

Dylan -legend in his own time. Love so many of his songs but all 600 are not hits. I don't like every song Stevie does but she is a prolific songwriter and no slouch. She released an album in 1973 as part of the duo Buckingham Nicks, and was a prominent member of Fleetwood Mac since 1975. Rumours is still one of the best selling albums of all time. Stevie did not begin her solo career until 1981. Her debut album, Bella Donna, reached number one on the US Billboard 200 album chart and is also her best-selling album in the US. Six of her eight studio albums have reached the US top ten.

I'm a big Bob Dylan fan and have been for probably about 50 years or so. It's hard to believe he's written so many great songs.

I also like Stevie Nicks and that Buckingham/Nicks album got a lot of play on my old turntable.

I will give you Bella Donna. But I will be quick to point out that if you look at the Buckingham Nicks album (which WAS fantastic) it was 90% Buckingham and the rest his girlfriend who only got into Fleetwood Mac because he said "If you want me, you gotta take her." And That has been documented often.

When I see "co-written" by a duo that has one established writer and one "Who is that?" name, I pretty much assume the established writer shared credit as a courtesy. That may be an incorrect assumption, to be sure. But when you look at 2 of "her" hits, "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" and "Leather and Lace", I will never believe that Petty and Henley were not the primary writers and Nicks was added as "Well, okay. You DID sing one side of the duet." I can't stand that voice like a sheep and don't get why people still think she can actually sing. Prince wrote the core of Stand Back. (It's Little Red Corvette if you listen to it closely.)

I have seen her in concert 3 times, and the strength of the show was the quality of the band, not her singing. I saw the same tour 3 times because my work took me around the midwest and I happened to hit cities where she was. That band was 3 keyboard players, 2 guitars and 3 backing singers, one of them her sister in law, who honestly was a better singer. They were very tight, very solid music.

Part of what turns me off about her is that so many female wannabe types jumped on the soapbox about "Yeah!!! Women can raaaaaaawk!!!" Well, lay that on the back of the Wilson sisters, not her. Heart DOES "raaaaaawk!" Anne Wilson is incredible, as is Nancy. I just can't get behind the weird always black clothing and posing on stage.

Sorry to sound harsh and of course your opinion is your opinion and I respect that. I am just more about the steak than the sizzle.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
