Bob Dylan kicks Miley Cyrus' butt

Last week, Bob Dylan became the oldest artist to have an album debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Dylan is 67, and Together Through Life is his second consecutive album to debut at #1. In 2006, his Modern Times also debuted in the top spot.

Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack is parked at second.

This has to rank as one of the strangest pairings to hold the top two spots.

Dylan is a legend who continues to produce music as vital as he did 40 years ago. Miss Cyrus is the latest teen sensation, and her music will likely not be remembered in the year 2049.

I do not mean that as an insult to her, but her flavor of bubblegum music usually does not last long. Then again, I could be wrong. She may become one of the leading artists of her generation.

When it comes to these things, I am rarely a good judge of future events.
