You're 50 years too late to make a stink about it.Wait a minute.
Dylan went electric?
That's how he started, no doubt. As much as I like both Guthries, however, Dylan eventually took it in a direction Woody never did. And then Arlo copied Dylan's late 60s game.Dylan was a Guthrie poser. It’s true. He had some good verse.

To be tactful, Dylan sucks the Creator's wazoo, because he can't sing, sounding like the ass-end of a goat. What does it matter that his oeurve is culturally significant when you have to listen to the dreadful delivery?
Sophie B Hawkins blew him out of the water with her cover of, "I Want You".I love Bob Dylan songs ...........when anyone other than Bob Dylan is singing them.
I'd rather listen to a singer who can make me feel or think more so then one that has perfect intonation. But then again I also think shows like American Idol are crap. And no not just because it mislead me into thinking it was a show about neo paganism.To be tactful, Dylan sucks the Creator's wazoo, because he can't sing, sounding like the ass-end of a goat.

Dylan's voice (referring to his voice in the 65-80 period, which I love) is one of those voices which is distinctly American like Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, pasty Cline, James Taylor , Levon Helm, johnny cash and others. With Dylan it has always been the words that matter but it is the sound of his voice that drives the words. Perhaps, like Leonard Cohen ( another great), an acquired taste but one which I always savor.To be tactful, Dylan sucks the Creator's wazoo, because he can't sing, sounding like the ass-end of a goat.

And Guthrie got his poses from Will Geer and John Steinbeck.Dylan was a Guthrie poser. It’s true. He had some good verse.
