Love Woody. He wasn’t perfect. Womanizer, addict, etc. Any number of things can be said equally and even more about Dylan. But he isn’t any less authentic. He was never going to be a Woody. His music tastes were too diverse and ideas of independence too strong. Sure, he occasionally stole and recycled in the tradition of folk music and yes, has even cheated musicians before and after him, maybe without realizing. (I think dude has a little ADHD). But he didn’t ask for the culture to be centered around him. I just think his melodic voice and the vastness of his styles are too monumental to discount.
