And while lots of us are as well read as Dylan,he, like Woody Guthrie, seems to be unusually wired so as to be extraordinarily prolix – his brain popping up connections even the thinking Dylan would never think of.

I hadn’t noticed a move away from true rhyme. I always feel like a bit of a fraud if I don’t use them, though sticking to my guns can make maintaining a clear narrative bloody hard. As a result, lyrics can take me ages…
It’s heartening that Dylan, king of the couplet, isn’t compromising at all. Show us the way Bob!
