I'm not a huge Dylan fan, never have been. But I respect what he did. My 21 year old daughter and her guy went to a Dylan concert last year -- said his voice had deteriorated to near the point of pity, but the lyrics were still moving. When I look for an opportunity for audience participation during a performance, I almost always do "You Ain't Going Nowhere" -- fun to sing and almost everyone knows it (at least by the end of the song). Someone earlier said that Dylan created himself. I agree, that he managed his persona -- sort of a Madonna of the Folk Era. But you've got to give him credit for it, it takes genius to present the whole, sellable package.
