Mapman, why is it so difficult for you to accept that? Dylan is not among the best at anything, and that's exactly why so many like him. He is a lot like those "so many".

Sounds good to me. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/15/arts/music/bob-dylan-101-a-harvard-professor-has-the-coolest-class-on-campus.html
