Dylan"The world don't need any
more songs. They've got enough. They've got way too many. As a matter of fact, if nobody
wrote any songs from this day on, the world ain't gonna suffer for it." |
Bob
Dylan
In 1963 I heard him for the first
time. And since then he has been a very important part of my music-life.
Many will surely claim that Dylan has a terrible voice. We've heard that since
his very first appearance - in the folkclubs in Greenwich Village in early 1961.
- He can't play an instrument,
others say.
I agree that he doesn't have "His Masters Voice".
But he is true and
personal, and that's more than enough for me.
And his texts are brilliant.
Others also have accepted his
poetry.
In 1990, for instance, he was honoured with the medal of Commandeur Des Arts et Des Lettres
(the
highest cultural French award that can be bestowed to a
foreigner).

"If you take whatever there is to the song
away - the beat, the melody - I could still recite it."
