Dylan is an untalented writer. Anyone who has tried to read `Tarantula´will agree with this.
While the songs with ´surreal´ lyrics are usually just annoying and unfunny, the ones with ´political´ lyrics are pretentious. Take ´Blowin´in the Wind´: Dylan wants cannonballs ´forever banned´. But when were they partially banned? And why was that partial ban lifted? And quite whom should they be banned by?
Dylan is fond of quoting or mentioning great writers, such as Eliot, or Fitzgerald (as in Ballad of a Thin MAn), but one has to wonder if he´s ever read them? It seems more likely that he´s just name-dropping.
One can cary on and on like that with Dylan lyrics. He is really a rotten songwriter and only by the very low standards of protest rock can he be taken at all seriously.
And he is a poor performer too: he really cannot sing to save his life~that nasal whine of his is incredibly unatttractive.
Why can´t he just be shot like that other 60´s loser, Lennon?
