Hey Bill, to answer your question about an album debuting at number one... The way the charts work is on a weekly basis. So when "Modern Times" was released it sold like a mad bastard, something like 192,000 copies if I recall, the best Dylan had done in 30 years. There was no single released, I don't think...not sure about that. Anyway, based on all those initial sales that week, the first time the album was able to take a place on the Billboard charts, that place was #1. So "debut" is a little misleading...it just means that the first week they measured the sales, he had already slam dunked and came out on top. All right Big Jim, you're crossing a line...you can run, but you can't hide...the operative word in your previous quote is that you "fail" to understand the whole Dylan thing. But I think most of your favorite rock and roll influences did NOT fail to recognize the significance and talent of Dylan. Unfortunately, the same consensus does not yet exist among the rock and roll community regarding the all-encompassing impact of the timeless work of Jason Blume. Hey, I'm just sayin'...
