Already ancient when he was born
Dylan's estoric verse speaks to an earlier time. He was already ancient when he was born. The new art is out front, supraconscious, and topical without feeling ashamed. Some of the work he did in his middle years fits that standard a little better. His score on Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid was nice too. That sort of hookup makes sense for him. Probing backward into the idea of Dylan is a redundant concept.
