For ME bob was not by any means whatsoever "THE" singular voice of a generation, whatever he may have been for others - he was one of MANY voices, albeit sometimes an important one. Some of the "voices" from then, in terms of writers of songs that made a difference in my life, I don't remember the name of - but I remember the wonderful songs they wrote. Guess I have some homework to do. I'm working on putting together a 60's style "Hoot" for our church, & certainly a song or 3 from Dylan will be there, but so will many others.

I would like it very much if somehow ALL the songs that have an important message for me would also have such impact on others, 'n also that they will last thru many generations. Some of Paxton's material appers to be doing that, & probably others as well.. Only time will tell. Meanwhile, whatever songs I sing are all because I care for the song, not specifically because of who wrote them, but rather because of what they say to, & for, (& about?) me.

Again my $0.02

Cheers, BK, who does respect some of what Dylan did, but cannot find it in his heart to put him on a pedestal, above all others.
