I can't really decide right now how I feel about Dylan. To me a lot of the topics he sings about are irrelevant and contradicting to each other, unlike some artist in our time who are consistent through a particular topic such as "love" or "breakups".
I'm sure it is apparent to all of us that his music is reflective of events of the time, but for some reason I am having a hard time trying to understand if his emotions through them. For example, in the song "Masters of War", he begins by feeling vulnerable and is saddened, but then he ends it feeling annoyed and furious, even feeling powerful. It seems shifts modes, through the verses, which reminded me of the fickle author of "A Study of Reading Habits". In addition, in several of his songs he refers to a "Lord", yet is never really consistent on his dependence on a God.
On a brighter note, I love the Harmonica! I think it is fabulous. He has has definitely proven to be a talented man capable of singing and playing two instruments at once.
