:hehe: 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.
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.

Now I love old Bob, but you could stick him in a room with a pencil and paper for eternity and he’d never come up with anything that good.
