Nice guy.

He's an ethnic Jew, music is his religion.
>Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else. Songs like 'Let Me Rest on a Peaceful Mountain' or 'I Saw the Light'-that's my religion. I don't adhere to rabbis, preachers, evangelists, all of that. I've learned more from the songs than I've learned from any of this kind of entity. The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs.

H-he's pointing at us

Dylan has become a household name and is known all over the world. This contributes more to his overall reputation as a music as his performances or songs in recent years. He's not a particularly skilled guitarist or harmonica player, he's not a great vocalist. His songs aren't even complicated. But, the simplicity of his songs, combined with the honesty behind his writing, keeps Dylan in favour. A lot of his catalog involves churning out nonsensical lyrics that indicate a kind of young senility that garner him as much sympathy as his following has earned him admiration from critics and fans the world over.

Dylan is successful because his lyrics are simple to learn, his music is easy to listen to, and his voice is as ordinary as mud.

Dylan is basically the Ron Jeremy of music, making us all think that one day we can write songs like that, because none of us can sing either.

Listen to his output from "Time Out of Mind" through "Tempest." You won't be saying that. He's been done with symbolism thing since John Wesley Harding.
