What if Bob Dylan had really never known what he was doing? Would that have made a difference to the world? Or would he merely be another artist without whom the world could happily, or unhappily, float along? There is no reason to believe that artists do anything to ameliorate mass anomie. At best, they are a valium in oral, aural or visual form which numbs us for a little while before the effect wears off. This is, in truth, why young people today, aspire most to work on Wall Street.
