Dave Van Ronk (or possibly Elijah Wald), in _The Mayor of Macdougal Street_, says of "Bobby":

"He always seemed to think that it was easier to write a new song than to fix an old one."

In other words, don't think twice, it's alright. (Some of the time, it seems to me, he didn't bother to think even once.) That probably explains why I lost interest in him. I was much taken by him when he first appeared (early '60s, was it?); I thought "Fancy that! A human voice coming out of a loudspeaker." I had a friend, at the time, who was one of those "I can get it for you wholesale" types, and he wanted to get me a turntable. I let him after reflecting that if I had a turntable, I could listen to Bob Dylan any time I wanted. By now I have hundreds of LPs, tape cassettes, and CDs, but only a couple are of him.
