The Only Thing We're Waiting On Is Time.

I came across this internet rant/epiphany on a Facebook group about Bob Dylan. It summarizes some of our beliefs about the youth of America and the faultering path of our artists. This is copy & pasted without permission, but I did contact the writer to voice our support.

The topic of discussion was: Is John Mayer This Generation's Dylan?

"Anyone who dare mention mayer in the same sentance as Dylan would do themselves a service by becoming deaf and ceasing to listen to the lyrics of song. mayer our Dylan? It is an interesting commentary on our generation, however, to liken a man who writes pop songs about sittin´ on the couch waitin´ on the world to change with a man who wrote gritty folk about following the caskets of masters of war to their graves. The contrast is striking between a generation who took to the streets and forced change - a generation of sons and daughters beyond the command of parents and tradition - and a generation that prefers to gratify itself with melodic pop and video games as its nation perpetrates disaster around the globe. One was a revolutionary generation, a passionate one. Ours is a consumer generation, a listless and spoiled one. We wait in our cars for drive-through fast-food, wait for commercials to end between segments of reality TV, wait for new movies and albums to be put out to entertain and distract us from the boredom and sterile cool of MTV suburban life. ´Ugh, it is inconvenient to see bloody images on news channels while flipping stations. Ugh, this is not fun or sexy like war should be. Ugh, what can I do about it? Hmmm, better just wait on the world to change.´ And in the meantime, I´ll hire a stylist and date Jessica Simpson. If mayer is our Dylan, simpson can be our Baez. "
