The artist who released "Nashville Skyline," which mrs yuck obviously didn't listen to, or else she would know Bob Dylan CAN in fact sing. Furthermore, he's a better lyricist than she could ever hope to be.
The author thinks that he speaks for Dylan fans worldwide when he asks mrs yuck to go back to listening to Blink 182.

An extremely influential songwriter. Nuff said.
Besides Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan is the man with the most instantly recognizable and unique voice in American culture, ever. Some despise him. Some worship him. But you'd have to have Down Syndrome not to be able to relate to one of his songs. In the example is the song I relate to the most. Maybe even perhaps, you.

"Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters
Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handle."
-Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan.

One of the most influential poets and musicians of the 20th century. His songs are characterized by his signature harmonica and raspy voice. His lyrics are brilliant and his music is moving.

When you are getting wealthy, making a good living or getting fame from publicly opposing war, making anti-surveillance art, making anti-war songs sold on Itunes etc. Satisfying a generation left-wing progressives while cashing in on their revolutionary dreams.
He's obviously suffering from the Bob Dylan Syndrome. So many anti war sentiments and 180 million dollar on his bank account. I wonder who benefits from who.

One of the greatest songwriters of the 60's and 70's. Got into a Car accident so now he has that raspy voice. He is back on tour today.
