Dylan's Autobiography

Bob Dylan just released his autobiography and from the excerpts I read in Newsweek it actually looks pretty interesting. He discusses the period between 1972 and 1997 as one of slow artistic decline which I thought was really honest and true.

But the reviewer for Newsweek couldn't understand how he could say that since that period produced such masterpieces as Shot of Love and Infidels. Now if you think those are great albums, you probably shouldn't be reviewing music in a major news magazine. Shot of Love? Infidels? Please. At least he didn't discuss the greatness of Planet Waves or the transcendental mysticism of Slow Train Coming.
