"A quiet unnoticeable process".....for a man with his 'day job' and wealth that's easy to say!

Well fair plays to him if its for charity. I also admire Eric C for doing the same in the past. These guys know there is no magic dust inside a guitar and they probably gravitated toward strats because it gave them a platform to build an instrument that suited the way they wanted to play and was robust and practical.
Fender should have given them shares in the company given the amount of strat sales they drove.

I imagine it must be an enormous mental burden to be constantly expected to live in the past...to be the person you used to be 40 years ago. I mean we would all like to be in our 20s again but we would prefer if we could retain the wisdom and learning that the intervening years have brought. And either the ego has become so big that you believe all the hype or you know that with hard work (or with Daddy's money) and more than one lucky break you got to 'make it'. Many other better more talented musicians didn't. Part of 'fame' is constantly expecting to live a lie. That's a heavy burden to carry.
I reckon Dylan has it right. He plays what he wants and how he wants - constantly re-inventing his old songs. It doesn't suit his fans who want to hear the recorded versions but tough.

Dylan knows that the only version of a song that's real is the one that being playing right now by these musicians on this stage.
I guess it's the difference between the stuffed stag's head on the wall or the real animal rutting in all it's glory or fury or fear or whatever.
