I am a contemporary of Dylan. I grew up near his hometown. I lived a block up, on 5th street, while he wrote "Positively Fourth Street". I loved music; I bought all of the Beatles albums. Yet, as for as I'm concerned, Dylan was an irrelevant whiner. And, BTW, he sounded terrible. To call his noise 'music' is really a stretch, in my opinion.

I spent many years in his old haunts on Cedar Riverside and have met a lot of his contemporaries. Many of them shared your view.

I believe that Bob Dylan is partially deaf, hence the reason why he doesn't sing that clearly. Dylan's songs often sound VASTLY better at the hands of other artists.
