There's a scene in Walk Hard (an underappreciated comedy) where John C Reilly's character just decides he's going to start putting nonsense words together as lyrics. They accuse him of trying to be like Dylan, and he's retorts that maybe Dylan is trying to be like him.

I discovered Dylan as a kid, so I'll always love him in the way you can only love things you discovered as a kid, but the older I get the less I respect him in a lot of ways.
