Dood, can't you set aside your subjective reaction for the sake of the discussion? LOL. God forbid somebody brings up Blood On The Tracks in a general music topic.
I remember when TCV appeared I was curious to hear them. I actually was quite underwhelmed with the album that emerged. But this song sounds better/catchier than I remembered.
I bought and paid for Blood on the Tracks, and dang it, I'm gonna slag it when I have a chance.
If I recall correctly, I'd been surrounded by later-Dylan apologists and allowed as how I thought "Idiot Wind" was a pretty good song -- but then, spurred by the discussion, I went back and listened to it again for the first time in a couple decades and decided I must have been drunk when I decided I liked that song.
Frankly, you can see the roots of what I don't like in later Dylan in earlier stuff, without question. Sometimes he just seemed to write because he thought he should be. No problem, except he recorded and released some of that stuff. (And yet he seemed to not put out some of his finest songs, with them leaking out in others' versions or in bootlegs like some of those collected in the Great White Wonder double-boot, which I have from the original run.)
Funny guy.
Taken on whole, one of my favorite writers, without question.
The old guy band above, OTOH... well... more power to 'em, you know, anyone who can make a buck in today's market and all that. It's just that that video pretty well captures at least a little of almost everything I ever rebelled against in corporate rock. Not that the addition of a Steve Perry or Dennis DeYoung vocal couldn't double up the dreadfulness for me, mind you.
Let me just issue my standard disclaimer at this point: there's no such thing as objecitvely bad music. (Although we can erect various performance or other criteria, but the importance of those criteria is, ultimately, subjective.)
If someone enjoys a given entertainment, then, in that context, it's all good.
Carry on, my wayward sons and daughters.
