The recent griping among disgruntled Bob Dylan fans over Columbia’s plans to let fans vote on the songs to be included on an upcoming Dylan best-of compilation has one silver lining. (Other than comments on Dylan message boards that sound eerily like Dylan lyrics, such as “If this is the stick, who’s the dead horse?â€) It’s encouraged otherwise all-forgiving Dylan fans to remember their hero’s other ill-advised commercial moves, like 1987’s Joe Eszterhas–rewritten movie flop Hearts of Fire. Thankfully, remembering our heroes’ foolish pasts is what YouTube is for.
