36. "It's Alright Ma" is one of his best for sure. The lyrics alone are as good as anything by Ginsberg.

"It's Alright Ma" is one of his best for sure. The lyrics alone are as good as anything by Ginsberg. nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #36

That's when he could pound out a song in 5 minutes graywarrior Aug 2013 #37

Oh my, hermetic Aug 2013 #27

Saw him a few years back in Maine. graywarrior Aug 2013 #28

I guess he can still put on a show. But I've seen some live clips that were slightly distressing. nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #32

This video sums him up graywarrior Aug 2013 #33

"Lookin' for Alicia Keys..." Heh, I remember the teeny-tiny amount of "controversy" over that. nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #35

Yeah, I once saw a fairly recent (2006-ish) clip of "Don't Think Twice" that was rather painful. nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #49

Too bad. That's one of my favorite songs. nolabear Aug 2013 #52

Mine too. Quite possibly the greatest bitter love song ever written. nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #53

Almost inarguably the greatest "pop" music lyricist ever. With Leonard Cohen a distant second. nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #31

Sometimes, it's a tie between the two graywarrior Aug 2013 #47

Cohen's great, don't get me wrong. His best stuff is only a small notch below Dylan's best. nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #50
