@IHIKML What happened? LOL! The music for Raging Bull is crap? No offense, but you are an idiot!

[IHIKML]

@Dave897456 No, peabrain, I haven't. In case you didn't get it (you obviously didn't), I wondered what happend to RR because how is it possible to write all this great music then suddenly write just crap???

Now, Gay-Dave, got it???

@IHIKML Have you been in a coma?

To tell you the thruth, I haven't heard one great song from Roberson since his days in The Band. What happend???

Robbie Robertson is so cool...a true musician's musician. Inspiration...doing good work...what class! I remember watching "the Last Waltz " many years ago and ever since then I have been a big fan! Cool interview!

@farblonjet Do you know the guy or something? I've only seen a few interviews and such but it seems like there's hardly any ego there at all, never heard him say anything terribly arrogant. He seems to acknowledge that music is something magical that reflects through the artist's prism and doesn't solely come from the individual making it. It's really none of my business, but I'd say you're 2/3rds right :) As a side note, I thought the interviewer did a great job here too.

@farblonjet - really? What would give you that idea? Robbie seems like one of the classiest guys in the music biz!! With all the vanity in mainstream music these days, why bash someone as humble as this?

While Rbertson's object d'art spins a colored rain is falling.and the sky turns dark and gray My audio associations include the music of Phil Collins, Van Morrison, the Band, Joni Mitchel, Gordon Lighfoot, Dave Mathews, Neil Young, Avril Lavigne and a dash of cozy club hip hop all pour down affectionately over Robertson's eclectic style .A keeper for sure.

keeper for sure.

I just discovered "The Band " only about a two years ago-"The Last Waltz " video( truly amazing )-and thru that "Robbie " - I found a musical genius! He is an amazing story teller-whether it's thru his many interviews or, even better , thru his soul lifting music. His CD's are quality , not quantity , and he is one who doesn't have to put out songs before they are perfected but when they are ready. He is an amazing lyricist and guitarist-a true music perfectionist! I love his non-inflated ego a
