But, Robert, you are the guy who says that those artists who have been "lionized" by critics, by awards, and by fans are above dispute as to their greatness. Time and time again you have used that argument to "prove" that this guy or that guy is superior to someone else.

I don't believe anyone (except you, probably) will dispute Dylan's place in history, his renown, his critical acclaim, and the respect his music has achieved.

So, what is the deal?

Calling Dylan a "decent" songwriter is...well, indecent.
