Not everyone understands Dylan, and everything he writes is not meant to understand. Not everyone that likes Dylan is trying to sound "deep" like him.

I can show you dozens of abstract paintings that make absolutely no sense. To knock the painter because the viewer doesn't "get it" is not legitimate criticism in my book. It is one thing to say you don't understand or like it, but to knock the people that do and the honors the artists receives serves no purpose.

Read the book. As Steve-O points out, it is beautifully written. Dylan finally opens up and dis-interprets all the interpretations that have been made about him over the years.   I also admire the way he warmly remembers the musicians who he looked up to - Cisco Houston, Dave Van Ronk, Pete Seeger and Mike Seeger among others. It is not a sleazy tell-all look at Dylan's personal life.   My take away from reading the book was that Dylan opened up his feelings of how his songs were created.
