    There's brave, while v isn't around to clout you firmly in the ear'ole.

    I tend to agree, mind. So extremely nasal.

    I've seen him live a couple of times, and as you know he's famously contrary and no showman, but you can't get away from what keeps running through your head, which is, "Fúck me, that's Bob fúcking Dylan." So it's a sort of worthwhile experience.

    He’s got a great voice for what he sings.
    Tangled Up In Blue sung by anyone but His Bobness simply doesn’t work. This is the joy of Bob.

    All hail, Bob!

    I have to say, the fact that he clearly has total contempt for the audiences at live music events endears him to me even more.

    Actually he isn't nearly as bad as he's made out. He's about 300 times more personable than Van Morrison, for example.

    I've come to terms with him. He is a marker and rite of passage for the
    older sector of the Baby Boomer generation and as such it was pretty much a requirement for those folks, now ages 68-74, that he be revered. I have never understood it except in this context. He is more substantive than other 'must revere' Boomer types, Joan Baez for example.

    Having said that he was/is an excellent songwriter. Interesting that his political leaning was considered radical left and nowadays you have to place him more right of center/libertarian.

    He's the only American poet or writer I consider world class. Some of his poetry {as in lyrics} is divine.

    Though obviously, he did opiates for 3 years and went downhill. Coleridge wrote Kubla Khan.
