i just finished listening to Dylan's songs and the only thing that stood out to me was one line from "bringing it back home", the line where he says "i went into the bank and they asked for collateral, so i pulled down my pants." This got me thinking...Well actually better yet, it made me smile. Before that line i was so irritated by Bob Dylan's voice i was about to stop listening, and then i heard that line and it kind of made me cheer internally. The line while it was crude gave off this kind of "f*ck the police" vibe, it appealed to the common man. This made me wonder why (for myself at least) he appealed more to me than Henry Miller in TC. I loved TC the book, but the guy rubbed me wrong; he was hateful. I sort of don't enjoy Bob Dylan's music for the most part, but i liked him....i guess what I'm trying to say is that they can both be crude but i observed that Bob Dylan can do it in much more of a likable manner.
