You have to be a Dylan fan to appreciate it and most young people aren't because he hasn't made anything worth listening to in 30 years.

Inside Bob Dylan's 'Blonde on Blonde': Rock's First Great Double Album

"The musicians played cards, I wrote out a song, we'd do it, they'd go back to their game and I'd write out another song."

Back in 1961 I was going to college in New York City's Greenwich Village (actually, I had grown up in NYC so this was familiar territory). The Village was a great place to hang out; it has always been avant garde, or "hippy" before there were hippies.

Anyway, there was a lot of music at clubs with cool names. One night I went to "The Fat Black Pussy Cat" club to hear Peter, Paul and Mary (yeah, folk music was very "in") and there was this skinny little guy, of whom I'd never heard, as the opening act: Bob Zimmerman. I didn't like him much but then what did I know...he was, of course, soon to be reincarnated as Bob Dylan.

I can't say I really liked him over the years but some of his music was terrific. And, too, The Band, his backup group, was great. Here's a video of Amy Vachal performing Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love" on The Voice. Good stuff.
