Bob Dylan and the Law

I am working on a larger post tying together some current events with legal thoughts, but in the mean time, I came across this interesting fact today. A recent study has shown that the most quoted musician in legal writing is Bob Dylan. That is not really surprising for a couple of reasons. First, he is a great writer and stylistically, his language is perfect for quoting. Secondly, Dylan often sings/writes about the themes of justice. Finally, those in a position to have opinions/law reviews/ and other legal writings published are about the age of the generation who grew up on Dylan. I am personally a huge Dylan fan and grew up on his music as much as anyone else, albeit on Cd's as opposed to vinyl, so I am not surprised at all. I just got (thanks!) his new album, Modern Times, and it is great. The album is classic Dylan, while at the same time sounds fresh and unique. You should give it a listen; if anything else, it will give you some good one-liners for your next legal article.
