I find this whole dialogue a bit strange. Gordon has always been my favorite songwriter and I have several second favorites, with Dylan being one of them. Dylan paved the way for the singer/songwriter movement. Were it not for Mr. Zimmerman we may have never heard of Gordon or many other fine songwriters. It is a safe bet that Gordon's songs/career would have taken a much different path were it not for Dylan setting the stage. It is a huge compliment for Dylan to sing one of his songs as well as saying such nice things.

I love to hear different takes on songs and Dylan's cover is no exception.
