There is a frequent debate between music fans on what band is the greatest of all time. Common bands that are often in the mix are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Rolling Stones, and The Who. Bob Dylan, who is regarded as one of the greatest songwriters, made his choice when he named The Rolling Stones “the greatest band in the world.”

Bob Dylan was an influential musician among many rock stars, including The Rolling Stones. However, Dylan isn’t much of a rocker, as his music was a unique blend of genres, such as folk, jazz, blues, and rock. However, Rolling Stone members Keith Richards and Mick Jagger often praised him.

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on Wbgr-fm on September 10th, 2020, reviewing the new films “I Am Woman” (VOD and theaters) and “Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President” (virtual and actual theaters).
Rating: 3.5/5.0
I Am Woman As you would guess, this film is about Helen Reddy, and the journey to her signature song. Fellow Australian Tilda Cobham-Hervey distinctly portrays Reddy, who won a contest to record a record in the U.S. in the 1960s … only to travel here with her daughter and find out the prize didn’t exist. She stayed and eventually met agent and future husband Jeff Wald (Evan Peters) who took her on a rocky path to her 1970s hit making period. 3.5/5 stars.

Well before Jimmy Buffett became king of the Parrotheads, he was a highly regarded singer-songwriter with an obvious gift for storytelling — and among his admirers was Bob Dylan. Dylan first made his fandom known in 1982, when he rendered a surprise appearance with Joan Baez even more shocking by launching into Buffett’s “A Pirate Looks at 40.” Then, in a 2009 interview with Bill Flanagan, Dylan named Buffett as one of his favorite songwriters (along with Gordon Lightfoot, Warren Zevon, Randy Newman, John Prine, and Guy Clark). As Buffett discusses in the...

“Beatlemania is a temporary state of mind that can only be accurately described by the state of one under its influence.”
This snippet from an old news report was re-broadcast earlier this summer on SiriusXM’s “The Beatles Channel.” Once the phrase “temporary” is removed, it serves as a mission statement of sorts for this 24/7 bastion of Fab Four–focused programming. The maniacs have the wheel, and their madness is contagious.
