I have yet to find a Dylan song where what he’s saying is 100% clear. Most of it sounds like “bleh bleah blah BLAH!”

I think you’ve finally outed yourself as someone who really hasn’t listened to much Dylan. Your continued harping on ‘he can’t sing’ just sounds like so much of the boilerplate criticism we hear about him routinely. Nasal voice? You betcha. Imcomprehensible? That’s just silly.

Go download a few tunes from Blood on the Tracks, or even Blond on Blond. If you can’t make out what he’s saying on ‘To Johanna’, or ‘Shelter from the Storm’ or even ‘Lilly Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts’, you aren’t trying.

I’ve heard far more Dylan than I ever wanted to hear. Guess what my parents had a huge collection of and played often?

"Blood on the Tracks"

My personal favorite all time Dylan album. "Tangled Up in Blue" is Dylan at his story tellin best.
