It's better than anyone else's, except Karen Carpenter's.
But when Dylan...
First of all, Dylan's pitch is always very good, which people don't ever comment on because the voice is so eccentric.
But when he tells a story in a song, even something like Strangers in the Night, which seems like a hack piece of shit, even when Sinatra sings it, it doesn't hold together.
But when Dylan sings it,
There's always a story.
You know, Dylan is... I get that.
Okay.
And there's always a ghost in the song.
There's always something that's not being said that's always there.
Ooh, I like that.
Okay, that's the first thing, singer.
Musically, I'm afraid we have to go a little bit with Joni Mitchell.
I mean, Joni Mitchell, because of sexism in our country, gets much less credit than Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan.
That's an interesting point.
She deserves the same credit, plus she's the best musician of the three.
She doesn't, you know, Dylan writes from his heart
without ever pretending to write about himself.
Joni Mitchell writes universally while always being specifically things that happen.
I mean, she pretty much gives you the time and date and person's name she's talking about.
