Bill Werde, director of the Bandier Program in the Newhouse School, was quoted in The Wall Street Journal story “Bob Dylan Sells Entire Songwriting Catalog.” Werde, an expert on the music industry and former editorial director for Billboard, says that the sale of Bob Dylan’s songwriting catalog demonstrates the continued influence of the singer. “This sale represents what is likely the largest single writer deal in the history of popular music,” says Werde.
