Since everyone else is writing about him, I won't. I'll just signal, for those who don't already know, that No Direction Home, Martin Scorsese's four-hour documentary on Bob Dylan, is being shown tonight and tomorrow (9.00 PM both nights) on BBC2.
Dylan's best-loved songs (as chosen by the normblog readership in early 2004) are listed here.
Update at 1.30 PM: A guide to gorging on Dylan.
