Joni Mitchell has slammed Bob Dylan as a" deception" in a new interview.

The singer told the LA Times that she thought Dylan borrowed too heavily from other musicians, and distanced herself from being aligned with him.

"Bob is not authentic at all," she said. "He's a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception. We are like night and day, he and I."

BOB DYLAN AND THE BEATLES

Al Aronowitz is often referred to as "the godfather of rock journalism." But his roots are in the tradition of the writers who trailed behind the Old West's outlaws and revolutionaries, embellishing the truth to delight an eager readership.
