Almost every great composer seems to have a limit, dope or no dope. You know how no one has reached a .450 batting average, and only Ted Williams reached .410? Well, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Smokey Robinson, Bruce Springsteen, and many others practically dried up at a certain point, occasionally coming up with something good later, but not with the same fertility. Mozart has only two great symphonies, and even those (Jupiter and Prague) are mainly notable for particular movements. Beethoven was the greatest symphonic composer of all time, but how many people listen to numbers 1,2,4,7, or 8? As for the Zimmerman, well, yes, I think he is a better composer than you do. Also, pay attention to the way he developed. Listen to the third Greatest Hits compilation, with Hurricane, Changing of the Guard, and Jokerman, for example. They are longer, more elaborated forms, like cantatas. Ah, well, you either dig Bob or not.....
