    Dylan was truly a master of his genre, so much so that his 'Maggie's farm' may, itself, have signaled the end of the folk period. An amazing talent.

    I often find that it' e Dylan material that I am most 'unsure' of at first, is the material that I end up liking the most. So... I always withhold judgement until I've had the chance to listen for a while. Regardless, I always try to remember that in all cases his "worst is better than best".

    My experience tells me that the Dylan material that I'm the most unsure about at the beginning is the material that I end up liking the most... I always withhold judgement until I've had a chance let his music grow on me or, perhaps not... Remember, his "worst is better than best".

    Bob Dylan was never a Judas. A Jonah maybe...but never a Judas!

    So much has been said about Dylan. I am a simple person so I keep it simple- Dylan is the greatest American Poet since Walt Whitman and may be its greatest of all.

    People say a lot of things about Dylan and for good reason. Since I am a simple person- I keep it simple- Dylan is the greatest American Poet since Walt Whitman and maybe even greater.

    Posato pio sol.

    Che vien
    cantando intra
    fior e ne
    rimandi com
    augello al
    nugoletto e
    pe candida
    stagione.

    Francesco Sinibaldi
