My parents hated Dylan for going electric at Newport. Oddly enough they were 100% okay with the Beatles.

By the time I could have discovered Dylan I was 100% disinterested in music that sounds like Dylan. Thus I've pretty much always hated him.

That makes sense. I doubt I would have liked Dylan had I not started listening to him very young. My dad played a lot of Dylan and Cohen when I was a kid. I still love both, but I appreciate Cohen more and more the older I get. Can't say the same about Bob.
