in the way that Bob Dylan is a "good-bad" singer, who are "good-bad" writers? Are people whose prose has notable deficiencies — Lovecraft and Dick are two obvious examples — great in spite of their writing or does their....idiosyncratic....style productively work with their ideas

I always thought Don Maclean nailed it in "American Pie" when he described Dylan (the Jester) as having a voice that came from "you and me." Full lyrics: "When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me"

Inside Llewyn Davis illustrates this point about as well as one could ask for. After 100 minutes of conventionally pretty voices, Dylan's cuts through like a razor with Farewell.

This reminds me of Foucault's description of Gregor Mendel: what he said was true, but it was not dans le vrai. Those who shift paradigms must begin outside of what the old paradigm considers "good."

Satchmo truly started it. Babyboomers just don't know how to share.

The "original" thing that hit home in all his work (until the 2000s onward) is that Dylan's diction led the music; so you could clearly hear the words he sang. It made quite a change at that time. He stood out.
