The topic isn’t necessarily about the virtues of Dylan or lack thereof, so I’ll stick to the post. I do agree with joveski; I’ve never heard of a feud or major row between the two. Many years ago, early 70’s, prior to ’75, I did meet Dylan once, through Lightfoot, and I don’t recall any tension between the two nor did I notice that either man was uncomfortable.

I also find the Jaybour67 comment interesting, and do slightly disagree with his conclusion. Although Dylan had a tremendous impact on the music scene, I wouldn’t go as far as saying he “changed” it (let’s be mindful of Dylan’s chief influences, who one can say were also part of any change); there was so much going on at the time, so many talented and creative musicians adding so many layers of colours and textures to that scene that collectively they all contributed to the change, and therefore, the music scene. I think we would have seen Lightfoot emerge as the Lightfoot of today even in the absence of Dylan. Albeit, we may have had a few less songs, those influenced by Dylan, but the artist we’ve come to know would still have emerged.
