Thread Name: An Open Letter To Bob Dylan
Subject: RE: An Open Letter To Bob Dylan
Yeah. He did what he really wanted to do at the time. That's what basically pisses people off. They'd rather he just did what they wanted him to do at the time.

If Dylan had done nothing but keep doing the folk routine, he'd have become a fondly remembered and not very significant musical footnote, like many others...and he'd have been bored stiff. He'd had enough of the folkie routine by '65, and was restless to try something different.
