What I meant is that his voice can be an acquired tasted. I didn't ever have an issue with his lyrics. Lay, Lady, Lay his voice and pacing was more mainstream.
Dylan's style is like admitting you need broccolli, spinach, but cant avoid the greasy cheeseburger.
But you are also talking to a guy, metaphorically , a very east coast middle class raised guy, who grew up with my own middle America "fuck those rednecks" attitude, who eventually became best friends to this day, who got me to value Woody Guthrie. If you told me 20 years ago I was going to write a poem about a Redneck friend, I would have called you crazy.
Point is, you can point out all your music tastes. You can point out all our differences. But does that change anything? Does it change that all humans shit, pee, fart, and want to avoid conflict, and want to survive?
