Well, I've never been a Dylan, oops, a _Bob_ fan, at least not
his "singing".  But I think he used to be more understandable,
once your ear got used to his idiosyncratic phrasing.  There
was no getting used to nuthin' he did on Letterman.

I didn't realize she was there!  I'll have to look at the tape
again, (with the volume down while Dylan sings).

By the way, has anybody heard much about Nanci Griffith?  She
has a lovely voice, and she's one who is kinda hard to
categorize hard and fast.  Folk?  Country?  Country Folk Pop?
