In Bob News

Bob is being accused of lifting good lines from Henry Timrod, an obscure Civil War era poet, and working them into his songs. And?

Is there a debate to be had between plagiarizing and “borrowing liberally”? Maybe for some people, the wretched unenlightened cynics henceforth to be known on this blog as “Bob-haters”.

But I agree with the guy who uncovered this story. He says: "You could give the collected works of Henry Timrod to a bunch of people but none of them are going to come up with Bob Dylan songs." Yep.
