I'm not surprised that Dylan wasn't too impressed by the "proceedings" of being given a doctorate. At the Fleadh he finished his act by pushing away someone on stage who tried to hug him, though I've got the impression, Calum, that he's never been too keen on long speeches on stage. In 1964 he made a single comment ("It's halloween...") and everyone remembers it! On the subject of voices, I like Dylan's. And Neil Young's, and Leonard Cohen's, Martin Carthy's etc. The only voices that I don't like (excepting those that really can't hit a note) are the ones that aren't interesting at all, and indistinguishable from others'.
