Twin-Pick (Music Trivia Quiz) -- Dylan's Greatest Hit

One of the most famous and respected of the song writers of the rock era is Bob Dylan. He has been called a poet and a spokesperson for his generation.

Whether you like Dylan's singing voice or not, there is little doubt about it that he is a legend in a league with few other living performers.

Dylan wrote contemporary protest songs and music that connected with the mood of the country and the world. His songs often had complex lyrics, even confusing lyrics, and the songs were overflowing with social consciousness and sometimes revolution.

Once again we have another wonderful opportunity for you to tickle your memory gland and to find out just how much you really know about Dylan. You will be asked to select the most popular Dylan written song of all time. This is Twin-Pick.

You know how Twin-Pick works. It is a quiz that self-corrects. If you click on your selected answer, and you are wrong, one of my cadre of obnoxious and rude cyber assistants will humiliate you in the privacy of your own computer. Do not take their scorn personally as they know how to do nothing else except how to give the Bronx cheer. Everybody hates them. On the other hand, if you select the correct answer, you will be taken in my time machine to see the original artist perform the original hit. By the way, I do requests. If you have an idea or a theme for a stories behind the music or a twin-pick contest that you would like to see, send me an Email or leave the idea in your comments below.
