I like the Dylan threads also, they give us a chance to break out of the box and discuss someone who is such a part of the 1960s, and of all decades since, who is well known to everyone here of all ages, and who is also somehow connected to politics and popular culture, yet who we are forced to discuss in a none black and white, predetermined way.
It kind of stretches us, and helps to keep us loose and flexible, and reminds us that people can be complex, and hard to pigeon hole.
Small quibble: His personna that the left tried to hang on him is well known. It's an amusement to see purported conservatives swallow that jive.
Who he really is, or might be, is a much more interesting and complex matter.
