Tunesmith. Earth. 40. I can't tell if you're teasing or serious. At the time it was important to call Dylan a poet, instead of a songwriter? Or pretend that he was basically a singer, just as if nobody else would bother to sing the songs he wrote? I completely miss why it was important to use pointlessly narrow wrong words.

   Why do we seek information that we already have? I can't drive by a mirrored building without looking to see if I'm in my car. What would I do if I looked and saw a small Korean woman driving? I'd have to stop the car, get out and look at the mirror. If there was a small Korean woman there, I'd have to say "I stand corrected".

   Why do you think all these people would come and pay to listen if they weren't being entertained? Who's going to do that, to be whipped?
                         paraphrased Bob Dylan, in Don't Look Back

    I think it was one of his more sensible replies, and is at least little funny because it pops the presumptions of the question. Like when an investigator of Jim Baker's PTL ministries scandal was asked whether it was just incompetence or whether it was criminality. He said "Both".
