Nick Dow , Bob Dylan didnt have anything of substance to communicate in my opinion other than his personal angst- which he does communicate very well in songs that the angst-ridden can identify with . Perhaps the obscurity of his lyrics partly comes from the fact that he hasn’t anything much to say - compared for example to Ewan MacColl


But he does express nihilism well though and with such venom and conviction that it comes across as meaningful lol
