I'm glad that some younger people are listening to his stuff rather than that other stuff. Give me Bob over Kid Rock and Korn any day. But I don't think he has the effect on society he once had or even the influence those musicians currently have.I always liked Bob's music. But there is a lot of stuff I like more.
Currently, Dave Matthews, Billy Bragg, Sheryl Crow, and Bare Naked Ladies. All of these have at least as much to say as Mr. Dylan does. But then my favourite quote about music, which I live by to this day, comes from a Rolling Stones Song.
I know, Its only Rock and Roll but I like it!
