Comments
Dylan's complete awkwardness in that clip is completely endearing.
I think it's hilarious that some people say Bob Dylan "can't sing" when he's won a Grammy for vocal work in three different decades (almost four, considering Slow Train Coming came out in 1979, although the award was in 1980). Clearly, other artists see the magic.
