Actually I always figured Bob Dylan's use of "tax-deductible charity organisations" was the worst!

Which funnily enough is I think what happened to Stevie - she tried and failed to be dylanesque. Sure I find Dylan meaning under every rock, but...

Oh and don't knock the Stevie cover of Dylan, she tried. Lots of people try and lots of people fail, but most people need to try once in a career to give a nod to Bob. If they didn't try we wouldn't have Hendrix doing All Along The Watchtower...
