Dylan's writing is mostly sophmoric filled with empty images and worn-out cliches. His output will not withstand the test of time. A few of his songs are good but compared to the great lyricists of the past, Dylan is like a blip on the screen.

Yip Harburg, Chris Christopherson, Woody, Jean Ritchie, Stan Rogers, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, W.S. Gilbert, John Dowland, Dorothy Fields, ........

These people could really write lyrics.
