[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] [Here 'tis.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=4682367&postcount=10) [/QUOTE] Thanks for the link, good post. Though short-lived, the entire thread was interesting. I subscribe to the theory that people generally like the first version of a song they hear best; whether it’s the original or a cover. Subsequent versions they come across are rarely met with the same level of appreciation; even if they’re a completely revamped version of the piece. Question: Hasn’t Dylan seriously contended in several interviews that his entire songwriting career was a sham and a fraud? I’ve heard numerous people refer to such sentiments - but cant’ ever find such a quote. _If_ such an admission exists, it would tend to give weight to the _performer over the writer_ debate. ---
