Yeah, from what I've heard, most of Dylan's recordings were done in one take. Before tape recording (and now digital recording) records were cut straight to onto a disc with no overdub capabilities. Dylan didn't record that long ago (tape recording was a post world war II thing. it was invented by Nazi Germany, actually), but he probably listened to a lot of the old recordings and was inspired by the realism of single performance caught on record. Blah blah blah I sound like a school teacher.
But I'm with you man. Fuck the bullshit. Give me music!
