I found Bob(as presented) to be refreshingly truthful. He basically stated that he was creative and inspired by nothing he could pin down other than self described destiny, albeit a rather self absorbed limited one. He said he was never going to be that creative again.....(drug inspired creativity?)

He seemed to have a real visceral hate for Joe Sixpack's and their unfounded faith in his prose, which he claims was nothing more than good songs with no real insight. On this I agree, but why the need to riddicule his fans. He seems like a bit of a hypocrite.

I liked his explanation of the media and feel he's dead nuts on with it. Funny though how he'll use it when it lines his pockets.

Bob came off as a third rate George Harrison with few personal interests and far less talent. He seems like a passionless bitter old man who's never developed other interests and it's eating him.

So I guess Bob is right. He's got fans and wealth, reached his destiny, and done so because of stupid fans who misunderstand entertainment for activism.

I wish Ed had asked him about his Wilburry's year/s as well as aked him about his peers. It certainly was all about Bob wasn't it?

Those fans he is ridiculing would appear to be the leftists who made him a "voice for a generation" and overplayed/sang his songs at protest rallies in the 60s AND 70s.

It pigeonholed him.

Actors who play Superman have a hard time getting other roles.
