>>127255732Dylan started what he did because wanted to be like Elvis.
>When I first heard Elvis's voice, I just knew I wasn't going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss. Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.And Elvis didn't sing like anyone, didn't dress like anyone, didn't look like anyone. And it gave someone like Dylan hope. It's just not as appreciated nowadays, but Elvis was a kind of freak for his time. He dressed in pink and gold, gyrated on stage, had that floppy hair, invented that hiccup singing style, mixed black and hillbilly tunes, etc.. Adults and his own school teacher tried to crush him and said he was an awful singer.
