Happy belated Bob. Believe it or not, you have plenty of fans here on the FR.

My favorite of the 500+ songs he has written so far is Forever Young. Feel free to chime in with yours

Saw his most recent tour. He sounds better than ever. I have no favorite tune, but lately I’ve been stuck on ‘Duquesne Whistle’

Dylan comes from a time when lyrics were important, and he is a master of the poetic. He took his name from the poet Dylan Thomas ("Do not go gentle into that good night ..."). But it is arguable that the student has outpaced the master.

Happy birthday, Mr. Dylan. And many more to come ...

One of the worst interviews I have ever heard was Dylan about 10 years back. Complete mumbles, incoherent. I don’t recall him having substance abuse issues, but that day you would thought surely he was on a stupor

The Times they are a Changin’ and Girl from the North Country with Johnny Cash. Rosanne does the song at many of her concerts.

Dylan would likely have remained a niche artist without his straightforward love songs. Tomorrow Is A Long Time, To Be Alone With You, I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight, Winterlude, and others. Those songs made him very well-liked by various types of mainstream pop and country artists.

I have many Dylan favorites, with Hendrix’ cover of “All Along The Watchtower” being the greatest rock ‘n roll song ever recorded.

Here’s another cover, dedicated to the GOPe and the #NeverTrumpers:

I don’t get all the fuss and certainly not the adoration. To me, Dylan is like Bruce Springteen - WTF? To each his own I guess.

Like a rolling stone...

A complete unknown...

Think I’m going home...

Hey, is that a drone?

How do I work this phone?

Is this song too long?

Got my Depends on...

Dylan is painfully overrated.

Don’t bother flaming me, you know I’m right. ; )

Which version of Forever Young? The slow ballad or the hopped up version?
