The greatest songwriter of all time. There are very few, if any, people who cannot relate to at least one of his songs.
The reason this guy is such an amazing songwriter is because he spent years studying the songwriting techniques of Bob Dylan.

Dy·lan, Bob. Originally Robert Allen Zimmerman. Born 1941.

1. American born Jewish musician and songwriter who is most often noted for his protest/rebellion songs.
2. Musical and lyrical artist, who was most influencial in the late 60s.
3. One of the forefronters of the peace movement, and became "the voice of a generation" though he has always been rather reluctant to accept this title.
4. Widly believed to be one of the greatest poets in history.
5. Musician who is widely known for his extensive use of drugs, and even turning The Beatles on to pot. Though still as fabulous as ever, he is now often considered to be "cracked-out."
6. As his popularity is so widespreed, even those who are generally not familar with Dylan recognize him as that wild, curly haired, scratchy-voiced, thoughtful poet that personified a generation.
1. Blowin' in the Wind is one of Bob Dylan's most popular and appreciated songs.
2. Bob Dylan was still popular and just as talented as he was in the sixties in later decades, but later generations had difficulty appreciating his music, because, perhaps to them, he represented a part of their parents past- something they considered themselves not apart of.
3. Then just a young man, Dylan soon found himself as the icon of a generation.
4. "Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'."

(Bob Dylan---The Times They Are A-Changin')

'nough said.
5. People have been saying that for the past few years Bob Dylan has been looking and sounding rough- and it isn't from old age.
6. Bob Dylan is golden.

A song artist whose only reason for existing is to have his songs covered.
Think of any legendary song from 1965-1985, and there will be a good chance that it is a cover and was originally sung by Bob Dylan.

Singer/Songwriter Extraordinarre. His unique voice is the embodiment of passion and sends shivers down the spine of any person with a soul. Call him "Genius", "Spokesman of a Generation", "Zimmy", "The Man", "Nasely-voiced pothead", or "Sexiest Sixty-something Year Old Man Alive". It doesn't matter. Bob is better than you.
Listen to this song, it's called "My Back Pages"

~Holy Crap, I just shit myself! Bob Dylan owns me.

That's right. Here's a clean pair of undies.

The most amazing song writer to ever walk the earth.
All of you who disagree aren't worthy of his music.
Check out his poem, " Last thoughts on Woody Guthrie", if you disagree. That will change your mind forever.
Bob Dylan, fuck he is amazing!
