I'll argue that - my appreciation of Bob Dylan's music began when I was 12 
years old - and I can assure you that being a Bob Dylan fan was not "cool" among 
the other 12 year olds - LOL!!   When my daughter was 3 years old - I got to 
the point where I simply could not stand to listen to another Elmo tape - and 
so I started playing "MY" music in the car - well - her two favorites were 
EC's August ( she liked to dance to that) and Dylan's Blood On the Tracks - she 
told me that she liked one of the songs on BOTT cause - it was happy and it was 
sad - an astute observation even from an adult !  so - I'd suggest to you 
that - it is often true that people are PROGRAMMED to like certain types of music 
- and many of the people who do not get it with Dylan - wouldn't like a 
RJohnson cd much either - in part because they aren't open to music that is not 
part of that programming - some people will pretend to like music that is "in" 
just as they will buy into any other fad - but that is not ALL people -
