great artist? he stole over 1/2 his songs he ever wrote.

dont you know all music is some form of plaguerism anyways?

without the before, you cant have an after.

maybe there was some sort of concept or idea behind the love and theft album that you dont know about.

If it were that easy, we'd have a hundred It's Alright Ma(s), Desolation Row(s), Mr. Tambourine Man(s) (and if you've only heard the cruddy Byrds version, for all intents and purposes, you've never heard the song), Ballad of a Thin Man(s), and Chimes of Freedom..ses.

Whatever the situation, Dylan's music spoke a lot of truth, and spoke it well to a lot of people, and continues to, today.

As for his voice, it changed substantially throughout the years. Some songs I can't even imagine being sung in anyone else's voice.

"Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Made everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred."
