Best I can figure, you measure greatness in music by listening for its legacy in everything that followed. And sure enough, Bob Dylan was/is great. You can hear his influences in just about everything from Soul to Rock to Country to Neo-Folk, and yes even in Punk. So happy birthday Bob. Come and listen to what you've made.
