I don’t think talent is all that rare. There are great musicians all over the place. You just never hear them because the avenue to fame doesn’t necessarily select for those with the most talent. I’m not saying Dylan isn’t talented. He is. I just feel that many with extraordinary talents never get noticed. This is true in all walks of life, including politics (actually, I think most politicians are in the lower rungs of overall talent, but achieve on the basis of their inflated sense of self-importance).
