Bob Dylan is the reason I'm a folkie, learned guitar, like Joan Baez, Leonard Cohen, Phil Ochs, Joni Mitchell and Dave Van Ronk and also the reason I am mildly interested in social justice issues and have written over 100 of my own songs.

He has a lot to answer for, and the album he released last year (39th studio album), at 78, was brilliant.

He did make me read Moby Dick, so no thanks for that Bob.
