…nobody knows what they want out of players except me, nobody can tell a player what he’s doing wrong, nobody can find a player who can play but he’s not playing, like I can. I can do that in my sleep.
–Bob Dylan (interviewed in Rolling Stone).

You can argue about whether he’s earned it/whether it’s deserved, but agree or not, he does have a huge ego. (You should hear my dad on Dylan in the 60s. He still can’t listen to him, despite his sometimes amazing lyrics, because of things he said & did then.)
