Donovan did a whole lot of great stuff. I could never figure why people tried to set up this competition between him and Dylan because they were/are almost totally different from one another in their approach to both lyrics and music. It's like comparing a swordfish with a gazelle or something... What's the point?

In his very early career, though, Donovan adopted an appearance that was very "early" Dylanesque (the little hat and the work clothes and so on)...so I guess that's how it got started.
