Seriously, I’ve never understood the appeal of Bob Dylan.

Part of it must be that _anyone_ can sing the way he can. And when you do a Dylan-mumble to cover something like Van Halen’s ‘Jump’, it’s laugh-out-loud hilarious.

IMO, Dylan has made his mark as a poet - a chronicler of the times as it were. Perhaps even a minstrel of the times.

His “songs” are mere observations of the political, physical and cultural evolutions taking place around him...and us by extension.

Remember, most of his target audience either could not read more tan the short snappy buzz-words on a protest sign or they were too deeply engrossed in their own navels to actually do much thinking of their own.

Just my Opinion. Although I do have a deep attachment to “Tangled up in Blue.”
But that is another story...;)

Don't think twice, it's alright is on of my all-time favorites. But Dylan has sunk to such a level with his voice and styling so that fans at his shows now have a difficult time figuring out what song he's playing.
