If you have to ask "why?", you don't get it. If you don't get it, there ain't no use trying to explain it to you.

Just listen to Joan Baez explain it in the DVD "No Direction Home". She says that Bob will always mean little or nothing to certain people...if they just don't get with whatever he's about, but that for other people who do get with whatever he's about (as she did) he goes "way deep". That's why. He goes way deep.

Homer Simpson provides a form of light entertainment. Bob Dylan goes way deep.

That's why.

No one really gives a shit about Homer Simpson...or ever will. He's just fun, that's all. A lot of people care deeply about Bob Dylan.

The more said about his singing, the better. ;-) Again, on the DVD "No Direction Home", Joan Baez says, "He sure could sing!" And, yes, he sure could. (but there ain't much left of that young voice now)
