   The real gobsmacker about old Zimmer is what he can get away with even the   
   most sophisticated minds. Don't get me wrong, I like plenty of his stuff but   
   not to make a good record for well over thirty years (Nashville Skyline to   
   Love and Theft) and to produce a slim volume of indifferently written memoir   
   and still have everyone calling you God's foster son with words is FUCKIN   
   UNBELIEVABLE quite frankly. In fact, as regards behaviour and followers and   
   so on, Dylan reminds me of nothing so much as the Roman Catholic Church   
   itself!
