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 -
