Whats Bob Dylan humming about these days I wonder?

Can he still capture the feeling of a generation with a powerful song?

I mean I can try to listen to some recent stuff but I AM TRYING TO CONNECT WITH anyone here who ever heard his music then or now...

He was the voice of the 60's, some of his best work came later, but for me, it's the 60's that defines him the best. He should be darn proud of that, i saw a video of him admitting he was amazed at his own skill back then, and that he couldn't do anything like that again.

@SW-User anything like what? Long poems of a million words? Losing women like Joan Baez? Feeling sharp and articulate and witty about inner torments no one else can describe?

I wish he had been more like Phil Ochs, like a town crier for a revolutionary new world

@Shadyglow The lyrical richness of those long sentences in some songs, like he was having visions, but yeah he wasn't everyone's cuppa tea.

@SW-User scowled too much too. But the early songs are iconic and unforgettable
