    Congrats to Dylan. Great artist.

    I wouldn't call him the best songwriter of the last half-century, though.

      Who would be then? Manilow?

          What's cool is that Dylan has outlasted all of his contemporaries in terms of relevance. His latest album is one of his best. When was the last time McCartney, the Stones or Pete Townsend released an album that really had people talking? Dylan is the greatest songwriter of the last half century, and it's not even close. His influence on a whole generation of songwriters (Bono, Sting, Springsteen, just to name a few) has been profound.
          I can't run no more
          With that lawless crowd
          While the killers in high places
          Say their prayers out loud
          But they've summoned, they've summoned up
          A thundercloud
          They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

              I don't know how much he influenced anybody. He just continued traditions, added some rock and roll.

              But I agree his ability to keep reinventing himself is quite amazing. I saw a Dylan concert back in 82 when I figured he was washed up, but I'd check him out anyway. Damn, amazing ability to hold an audience spellbound.

                  he influenced almost everyone

                  hendrix was a huge fan of his, i think the beatles were, almost everyone of the hippie groups were

                  the mass amount of songs he wrote that others turned into hits is staggering

                    All of them were except Lennon, at least towards the end of his career. Dylan introduced the Beatles to marijuana in 1964, actually.

                              Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
                              They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
                              They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
                              Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
                              But I would not feel so all alone,
                              Everybody must get stoned.

                              Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street.
                              They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat.
                              They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor.
                              They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door.
                              But I would not feel so all alone,
                              Everybody must get stoned.

                              They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
                              They'll stone ya when you are young and able.
                              They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck.
                              They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck."
                              Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone,
                              Everybody must get stoned.

                              Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end.
                              Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
                              They'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
                              They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
                              Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
                              Everybody must get stoned.

                              Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone.
                              They'll stone you when you are walking home.
                              They'll stone you and then say you are brave.
                              They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
                              But I would not feel so all alone,
                              Everybody must get stoned.
