Except Carlin and Williams and Thompson all took their own life. I suspect in part because they knew somehow it was all for naught.
Anyhow, to come back to Dylan. I can’t underestimate his social and political importance. His lyrics spoke for millions and shaped music and literature. Idk if he deserved the Nobel Prize, but his contribution to Western culture is undeniable. But still, if only his technical proficiency matched his lyrics. I think his best songs came alive when covered by others.
