melodeonboy Why didn't MacColl like Dylan? (538* d) RE: Why didn't MacColl like Dylan? 05 Jan 12


Reworking traditional songs is, as has been stated, part of the folk tradition. I think most people accept that. But was there not an issue regarding Dylan's claiming authorship for stuff that he took from others?

A question to ponder: Was part of the apparent animosity between the two due to MacColl seeing his music as a vocation (or even mission) whereas Dylan saw his as a career?
