Thread Name: 'His Bobness' Origin of the phrase?
Subject: RE: 'His Bobness' Origin of the phrase?
I think it's a very clever expression. For me, it's saying that Dylan is very special, 'king-like', but at the same time reminding us that he is also human. It may also reflect Dylan's view of himself as being better than anyone else.

As the recent [London] Times article said, 'there's playwrights and then there's Shakespeare. There's songwriters and then there's Dylan'. His Bobness!
