The way I see it, one's own personal taste is just that. It doesn't require justification to enjoy something.
As far as Dylan goes, I'm not a huge fan of his work either, but I have never met the man personally so I have no right to judge his character. And speaking as a Canadiac who has spent a lot of time travelling throughout the USA, I can say without a doubt that most Americans I've met have been great folks and far from arrogant. We do not need the negative comparison to our Big Brother to justify we are a humble nation.
Ok, I'm off my soapbox now. And for the record, I would have been in my personal Heaven to have spent a few minutes at that party with Messrs. Lightfoot and Dylan!
