Hi Dustin- loved this article. I agree that a true super fan can hate and grade an artists work- in fact it’s like truly loving someone, you love them for the WHOLE picture of who they are and sometimes have to say hard things and set boundaries (like not listening to “Sara” haha). So I am curious, as someone who LOVES Dylan’s work in the last three decades- do you like Modern Times or Love and Theft (personal all time favorite)? I didn’t see any later albums listed on your review. I love the production, grit and rollicking of these later albums. I think Not Dark Yet is one of his best songs of all time, and my wife and I used Spirit on the Water as our first dance at our wedding. Love to hear your thoughts!!

Hey Levi! Thanks for reading, and for the thoughtful comment. Good news is that I love both of those albums. I'm going decade by decade — just uploading the 1980s video now. It won't be long before I post a needlessly verbose video explaining just why I love those albums!

"The answer is blowing in the wind." The best line, in a superb essay. I learned a lot. I give it an "S."
