'Someday Baby', Bob Dylan, Khathia Buniatishvili and WTF Does It Means to be Talented?

Bob Dylan's "Someday Baby" hits the radio and it is a good little song. Off The Modern Times album, it suffices. It's obvious talent fades with age and beautiful, right? Gone is the god who blew the world asunder with the Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde album. He let go of what made him Bob Dylan. Is this typical with others? Two classical pianists of note,Georgian born Khatia Buniastishvili and Ukrainian born Valentina Listisa continue frustrate critics with the way they interpret the sacred classics, which have been trodden on so much they have almost become deriviative. Are they failing their talent? What does it mean to be talented anyway?
