Bob Dylan is the very definition of a living legend, and for over 60 years, he’s been known not just for his poetic lyrics and distinctive vocals, but also for his eternally enigmatic presence.

Dylan claims that he spent the pandemic replacing door panels on a ’56 Chevy, painting some landscapes, and re-reading “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” while pondering the mysteries of opium. Okay.

Dylan is the Picasso of popular music. His ‘Ballad of a Thin Man’ speaks more powerfully to what it feels like to be alive in 2025 than anything I can think of.
