Where is our Bob Dylan for today’s times?

Bob Dylan was a late 1950’s and 1960s’s poet and singer who said so much about America. I think he was from Minnesota, or there abouts. And he is still alive and well on the concert circuit, though looking pretty old and full of wrinkles, as in passe.

What he expressed then, and even now, is about the hope for the New World, about change from the Old World, that change is good, and idealism is OK. He was then, and is still is now, an American. His rough and gravelly voice was poor, but his poetry was American.

We Americans have reached such a gravitas point for our future. Perhaps our American civilization and culture has reached an epoch that we will fall from. Many predict and say so. But perhaps we in the New World will show and reflect why our ancestors came here, and why we continue to evolve to another way, certainly not an Old World way. We will take our hits, probably financial, but the end result will be some kind of New World influence for the whole World. Tribes beware, nation-states still seem like the future.

When can a newer and younger poet show up, and be promoted by the main stream media (MSM)? After all they, the MSM, can influence things these days, or at least try to. When can poets express the American New World ideas? Will East ever meet West?
