60. Dylan can write songs heavy with misogyny.

When he sings of identifiable women otoh, one on one, it gets better at times."Sarah", "Visions of Johanna" come to mind.

Rock is the music of my life but there is a bit of woman hating going on in more than a few songs. "Ball Trap", "Under My Thumb" "Stay With Me" ect.

What can a poor boy do?
