I see from your playlist you have a full grasp on our American pop and musical , film culture already. Many have no clue. I am a former school music teacher, retired, 18 years your senior. But you are still in the "safe zone" of being exposed to the pre-computer controlled world lol. Aways listen to music with your ears and your mind only. Do not let music videos sell you on the idea that thinking and listening with videos is a rule or illegal lol.. That's what THEY want you to think, so they can control what you think, or prevent you from thinking for yourself at all...🤪
I was born in the '70s but my parents were born in the '30s and thus was exposed to a ton of older music, especially things like MGM musicals, singing cowboy music, '40s radio shows, classic '50s/'60s musicals, Judy Garland, and old movie. At the time I didn't even realize most of it was old.
I think he's exhibiting extreme self-confidence and pride in the success he was receiving at the time and in this great song; you can tell that he thinks it's a great song.
The awe of being alive. How could such a young kid produce such beautiful poetry? Maybe only a kid could. Bob Dylan is still around, but THIS Bob Dylan is not. He disappeared somewhere along Highway 61.
And rightly so. If Dylan is about anything, he is about growth and change and following the muse he seems to be singing about in this song. Try listening to “Mother of Muses”from his most recent album to hear the 80 year old version of a similar theme. He sounds perfectly well suited for our times.
Also try martin scorcese’s “no direction home “ which captures what was going on with him and American music in the 50’s and early sixties right before you were born and will prepare you for the movie that will be released later this year.
I’ve seen it. Absolutely brilliant film. Rather amazing how much film was being recorded during the early parts of his career. I also enjoyed hearing from people tangential to his life sharing some really interesting observations and anecdotes.
The bottom line is that his voice is suited to the material. When I hear covers, including famous covers like The Byrds, its aesthetically nicer, on key and with harmony, but it loses a bit.
If you want to explore the trajectory of Bob from N.Y C. into the 90's try; The Bob Dylan Phenomenon | Music Documentary | Peter Doggett | Malcolm Dome | Mick Gold th-cam.com/video/roLitsZ9KZs/w-d-xo.html // maybe 7-8 Brits. Analysis of the lyrics plus the night in New Orleans that spawned Mr. Tambourine Man. th-cam.com/video/grE1SvGmlwA/w-d-xo.html
Dylan was strongly influenced by Woody Guthrie, folksinger that came before him. The lyrics in this song "to dance beneath the diamond sky" can be compared to Guthrie's lyrics from This Land is Your Land: "I roamed and rambled, and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts" for example.
I'm a huge Woody Guthrie fan :) Sadly there's basically no film footage of him playing. Also a giant Pete Seeger fan, so I will probably do some reaction from his TV show and also some concerts (found several full-length here on YT). I'm very interested in folk music and the documentation of folk music.

I agree with you about Dylan’s voice. It’s not a pretty voice, but it is very emotive and effective.
The bottom line is that his voice is suited to the material. When I hear covers, including famous covers like The Byrds, its aesthetically nicer, on key and with harmony, but it loses a bit.

Thanks for the recommendation. Dylan has always been enigmatic.
