I like Joan Baez singing his songs.
But think her best song is Diamonds and rust, which is about Bob Dylan.

Nice to see him appropriately placed amongst his true peers.

What a heady time the 60s  must have been. The Beatles reinventing and reshaping popular music, and Dylan weaving his radical words and music.

Artists that tower over their contemporaries.

That's the thing about the Beatles and Dylan, their peers weren't the stones and Donovan: they rub shoulders with Beethoven and milton.

Spent many a long hour lost in Dylan's world, same with Lennon and McCartney.

Imagine you could live in Shakespeare's time, potentially meet the bard, imagjne you could travel back to hear Liszt play the piano or ask Bach about his thoughts on composition.

Two absolute titans of, music and poetry live in our world. We can hear them play live, are directly touched  their art. In 500 years people will imagine what it would be like to live in their world, watch them create their art. Tis a beautiful thought.

Well played lads, a privilage to have lived in your time

Looking forward to seeing:

- Flo Rida winning the Turner Prize
- Ronnie O'Sullivan winning a Field's Medal
- Prof Brian Cox winning Strictly Come Dancing
- Damien Hirst winning Olympic gold in Greco-Roman wrestling
- David Beckham winning the gurning championship
- Katie Price winning the WSOP Main Event

Come to think of it, anyone fancy putting those in order of likelihood..?

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots
