Pretty much album Dylan ever put out is great, with the possible exception of that Christmas album a few years back. Even the much-maligned "Self-Portrait" album, that many assumed was a joke, yielded up some good things.

I actually think his recent work (post 1990) are better than most of his 1960s albums.

I like how he always snubbed the dirty, smelly hippies and yet like a jilted woman, they keep coming back for more abuse.

Which really goes to show above all else that the less you know about any artist the better.

I used to like Ed Asner and even Jane Fonda’s work until I learned of their politics, now I wouldn’t walk across the street to see their work.

I try to not listen to the liberal ramblings of Harrison Ford and GEorge Clooney, esp the latter, because I like their movies, but it gets harder every year. Ford is turning into the poster child for exlax in the elderly.

I think Dylan tries not to be identified with anyone, and by that is embraced by every one. Kinda like the current Pope.

Dylan’s recent album is really great, I think it’s just about all New Orleans sounding. Genius, absolute genius.

I like Dylan, but I wouldn’t go that far. Some of his stuff is a bit ponderous, imo....”Good As I Been To You” and “World Gone Wrong” I could never wrap my head around....and the one time I saw him live (right around Memorial Day, as a matter of fact, many years ago), it was awful.

I grew up knowing songs and melodies but Dylan, I discovered, does not play the song like the record. For me, it was a disappointment.
