Like others are saying downthread, its seems that people love to shit on Spielberg because he is too accessible. That he needs to be more complex to be good. This position is no more valid than saying that unaccessible filmmakers are bad because they don't care enough about moving the audience. There is no direct…

Wait, have we moved on from the consensus that it is Modell?

I don't think continuity is a concept that could ever really be applied to the Simpsons, at least not beyond creating a cast of characters. Sure, sometimes stuff carries over, but backstory is always floating.

Then again, read All Over But the Shouting (the replacements oral history), and most people close to the band took a pretty balanced perspective.

Yeah, New Morning is my favorite Dylan album by far (although I would probably refrain from calling it his best…). If not for you, Day of the Locusts, Winterlude, Sign on the Window, Man in Me. Just awesome, low-key songs. I never tire of it.
