Would someone please tell me what's so special about Bob Dylan?
I like him fine, I'm just talking about the venerable tone of voice when his name comes up. He's always "Dylan", never his first name, because, well... Dylan, man.
Surely he's not the first person to add social issues to music... is he?
Just how bad WAS music before Dylan?
