   working on The Philosophy of Modern Song in 2010. The book contains over 60   
   essays that Dylan wrote about songs by artists including Stephen Foster, Elvis   
   Costello, Hank Williams,    
   and Nina Simone. “[Dylan] analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes,   
   breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song, and   
   even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal,” according to the press   
   release.

   of our time. The Philosophy of Modern Song could only have been written by Bob   
   Dylan. His voice is unique, and his work conveys his deep appreciation and   
   understanding of songs, the people who bring those songs to life, and what   
   songs mean to all of us.

   Out of curiosity, based on your answer, is there any particular time period of   
   Dylan to which you relate or related to the most? Or did you follow him all   
   the way through? (either chronologically, or in your own order)
