Dylan on bad recording and illegal downloading

Legend derides 20 years of 'atrocious' recordings - including his own

"'You do the best you can, you fight technology in all kinds of ways, but I don't know anybody who's made a record that sounds decent in the past 20 years, really,' Dylan tells the novelist Jonathan Lethem for Rolling Stone magazine.

"Why not? [Music] ain't worth nothing anyway"

"Responding to claims by record companies and some artists that illegal downloading starves them of income, he says: 'It was like, "everybody's gettin' music for free". I was like, "well, why not? It ain't worth nothing anyway".'

"In the 20-year period he condemns Dylan has released eight studio albums, but he makes no attempt to exempt his own work from his critique. Speaking of his latest CD, released in the US next week, he says: 'Even these songs probably sounded 10 times better in the studio when we recorded 'em.'"
