Dylan's contradictory statements about this topic over the years, though, tell us a lot about him and his art:
'Anyway it's the song itself that matters, not the sound of the song. I only look at them musically.'
'I consider myself a poet first and a musician second.'
'It ain’t the melodies that’re important man, it’s the words.'
'The words are just as important as the music.'
'It's not just pretty words to a tune or putting tunes to words, there's nothing that's exploited.'

Good moment to share with you all one of the best performances of one of the best songs in the history of folk music.

It’s a little known fact that all the words associated with paying to see the Bayeux Tapestry are derived from Anglo-Saxon while all the words for being invited to see it by a corporate sponsor derive from French.
The Bayeux Tapestry has sparked a class war in England. Brits who want to see the 11th-century relic say they’re being treated like Taylor Swift fans on Ticketmaster, while American billionaires, luxury hotel guests, and museum sponsors jump the queue. wsj.com/world/uk/bayeux-tape…
