Another movie about Bob Dylan is about to be released. I won’t be going to see it. It will be a commercialized, shallow venture. I think he was great, and he was definitely the musical Norman Rockwell of the 1960’s. When I first heard him I didn’t get it. I had a hard time getting past his voice and style that was so different. I was all into Paul Revere and the Raiders and Lovin spoonful. Then the band I was in did some of his songs. They actually said something and had thoughtful themes.
Before Dylan, I only heard the music, after, I listened to the words. I was only 19 and had no brains then so I guess I can forgive myself. Creativity is important and it is in short supply these days. Lucky for us, we had Dylan. He was a real-life antihero. They gave him a Nobel Prize to suck him into the mainstream and I was sad that he accepted it. He probably did it for the money and his family.
In my opinion this was his best song:
