About Bob Dylan
He is often described as one of the greatest songwriters of all time. In the early 1960s he added sophisticated lyrical techniques to folk music, infusing it with the intellectualism of classic literature and poetry. His lyrics also incorporated political, social, and philosophical influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the emerging counterculture.

![“Popular music had never had lyrical sophistication of this type [like Bob Dylan]; wit, to be sure, but "Darkness at the break of noon/Shadows even the silver spoon/The handmade blade, the child's balloon/Eclipses both the sun and moon/To understand you know too soon/ There is no sense in trying"?…” quote by Bob Dylan](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/d66/bob-dylan-168_balloons_popular-music-had-never-had-lyrical-soph_1402473.jpg)
