Dylan was never fan or media friendly. He made no bones about it. That was part of the mystique. Still is.

Dylan out of context cannot possibly make any sense. Ya had to be there.

Even if you were there, the context is now almost impossible to grok. It seems almost like a dream to me now: a guy with a weird voice and an acoustic guitar being such a major force in the pop music industry.

My daughter just read a recent nonfiction autobiographical work that includes an apparently unvarnished look at life during the 60s. She was appalled. She was also quite willing to voice her disapproval of our generation's sacred time. It was a chilling glimpse of the future.
