Good comparison.  Only Leonard Cohen can rival Dylan for sheet 
talentlessness.  Whenever my wife (a big Cohen fan) starts playing a Cohen 
CD in the car, I threaten to get out -- even if the car is moving.  Cohen 
may be the dreariest musician ever to stand before a microphone.  He sounds 
like a 78-rpm record played at 33 1/3 rpm's.
