Fourty years from now when the schlock I hear, even on the radio, today, that is apparently the main stuff, is reviewed and compared with Dylan, he will surely be proclaimed a genius. People who knew Dylan when we were young, thought he was just a young man in love with his guitar who liked to perform, even when nobody would listen, and I would guess that he was probably just lucky to make it, initially. Considering that he has performed in the studio with Michael Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Jerry Garcia and the rest of the Dead, Emmylou Harris, Mark Knopfler, Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash, Charlie McCoy, Daniel Lanois,Roy Orbison and the rest of the Wilburys, and a whole bunch that I can't remember, there must be something there that doesn't deserve the "harsh words". Us old guys, even us conservatives, think he was the troubadour that best reminded us of who we were.
