And I'm in the distinct minority, Louis, have no fear!  Wander the Web 
sometime scouting out opinions on St. Bob, and I guarantee you will find 
they almost universally laudatory.  I have been hearing hosannas about 
Dylan's general excellence for most of my life now, going back nearly 40 
years.  I have never found the man anything but a pack of irritating 
mannerisms and banal or mystifying remarks portentously delivered, but 
almost no else agrees with my POV.  Dylan's faithful followers are legion 
and would seem to have a stranglehold on public opinion.  So please permit 
one lone dissenter to boo from the sidelines.
