Which piece of evidence supports the claim that
Dylan's rock lyrics are like poetry?
Dylan is of course enormously influential. Springsteen,
who referred to him as "The Father Of My Country" in his
new Born To Run memoir, is one of many who were once
known as “New Dylans.” Every singer-songwriter with a
personal story to tell owes him a debt, and hearing the
above lines read or sung aloud, with their knack for
internal rhyme, call up inevitable parallels to the dense
playful language of rap.
