He says he hopes that the new Bob Dylan would be able to be heard.
--> I know many, many artists who produce ART and are heard by others
He was NEVER motivated by MONEY and APPLAUSE
--> Takes part in his own produced sell-out AKA Runaway tours.
----> WWWB documentary: 'I want to sell out the desert.TWICE.
He talks about dumbed down music
--> Puts out Knockout which is dumbed down as hell. I am out listening to the new Nick Cave....

Yeah...right.

The moment he will actually live the things he says, I might believe him again
Bon Jovi has always always always had dumbed down lyrics. Every album has had them. I consider chunks of the album them growing and parts that are so regurgitated but there's always been moments of growth. You might not see it but it's there. Comparing Bon Jovi to Nick Cave is such a baffling comparison that's so far from the same category.
