Michel Montecrossa’s New-Topical-Song ‘Bob Dylan Is Right – Bob Dylan Hat Recht’, released by Mira Sound Germany on Audio-CD, DVD and as Download, was written to take a stand for protecting the right to intimacy of an artist’s live-performance and its preciousness of unfoldment which need not be surrounded and constantly disturbed by a crowd of cameras and handys. Bob Dylan demanded this right during his concert of 16th April 2019 in Vienna and Michel Montecrossa’s New-Topical-Song ‘Bob Dylan Is Right – Bob Dylan Hat Recht’ sings about it.
Michel Montecrossa’s New-Topical-Song ‘Bob Dylan Is Right – Bob Dylan Hat Recht’, veröffentlicht von Mira Sound Germany auf Audio-CD, DVD und als Download, wurde geschrieben um sich dafür einzusetzen, dass die Intimität der Live-Performance eines Künstlers und deren Entfaltungswert beschützt wird, die es nicht nötig haben, fortwährend durch eine Horde von Kameras und Handys belästigt und gestört zu werden. Während seinem Konzert vom 16. April 2016 in Wien forderte Bob Dylan dieses Recht ein und Michel Montecrossa’s New-Topical-Song ‘Bob Dylan Is Right – Bob Dylan Hat Recht’ singt darüber.
Michel Montecrossa about his New-Topical-Song ’Bob Dylan Is Right – Bob Dylan Hat Recht’:
“The Song says what it wants to say, there is nothing to be added – Der Song sagt, was er sagen will, dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen.”

“In my songs I connect the present with the future, as Bob Dylan in his songs connects the past with the present. A complete Action Philosophy is the union of both aspects.
