The invention of rock & roll was a collaborative effort, yet many music buffs trace its beginnings back to a singer, songwriter, and guitarist named Chuck Berry. Taking what he knew from the blues, big band, swing, country, and pop, Berry developed a style and sound that uniquely spoke to the experience of the American teenager, and that appealed to white as well as black audiences. And he remains, arguably, rock & roll's most influential figure. Among those who admit to having emulated his complex guitar riffs and quick, witty lyrics in their early days are some of the most prominent bands and artists of the past 50 years--including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen. Berry has spent a lifetime in the spotlight, but the spotlight has not always been kind to him.

The writer of the Open Letter, Irwin Silber, has clearly noticed the change in Bob Dylan 's performance and music over the years he 's listened to his content; however, the writer seems more disappointed that Bob Dylan doesn 't solely perform his earlier music and doesn 't bring up much of an argument or valid point that Dylan is a sellout. I personally don 't believe Bob Dylan was selling out, he was just growing as an artist and most likely wanted to appeal to a broader audience rather than the narrow scope of folk music fans. Keep in mind that Bob Dylan grew up not only listening to Woody Guthrie, but he also listened to artists like Elvis and Little Richard, and was definitely inspired by their work as well, and his later performances seemed to be more influenced by those artists rather than just Guthrie. What it means to "sell out" is where someone sacrifices their personal values and their true talent in order to become more popular and acquire more money. While Dylan 's transformation did increase his fame, it was a subtle transformation nevertheless, and he did not completely change as an artist in order to just become famous; he was simply growing.

When many people think of Bob Marley they think of reggae music, three little birds, and possibly that he loved smoking marijuana. Many people are too quick to judge someone before they even take a look into what they actually did. Many people do many great things in this world, and sometimes those actions go unnoticed. I was inspired by what Bob Marley did for his country because he did it to better humanity, and because nobody ever would think of Bob Marley changing the world. To many people Bob Marley was just a music icon, who sang songs you would listen to while you were on the beach and had no care in the world.
