Bob Dylan is so sick, not due to cold.
He is one of the true bad asses of our age. Some call him a leader, but he has never taken to that title. He is an artist pure and simple.
Dylan makes no apology for his art. He makes what he wants and lets the listener decide what to make of it all. He famously went electric at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, an act which enraged some of his die-hard acoustic folk fans.
I enjoy his obscure lyrics and his ability to construct word collages evoking vague imagery and feelings.

Yes that is Allen Ginsberg in the background of the video.
