I just wanted to say that I am 28 and I am a huge fan of Bob Dylan and could recite the lyircs to almost all of his songs. I would recognize Bob Dylan any day. I saw him live a few years ago. Unlike many people my age and otherwise, I do not limit the music I explore to only that which is grossly marketed to me by big music execs and is manufactured meaningless dribble like Brittany Spears, Justin Timberlake, or the Jonas Brothers. In my opinion, anyone who is moved more by the 'If U Seek Amy' than Dylan's 'It's alright ma' or "Death of Emmitt Till' is contributing to the 'dumbing down of America'. And, what is with the 'death to hippies' sentiment that some people have exhibited here? Bob Dylan and many other so-called hippies, have borught more attention to and raised the public consciousness regarding significant American social issues than most people will ever even give a second thought about. Im sorry some people do not want to take the time to try to use their mind a little to interpret or understand lyrics. With regards to music, it seems that today hardly anyone cares about raising the public consciousness about social issues but rather, just a catchy beat, flashy videos, and meaningless, party lyrics. God bless Bobby D and his contributions to society.
