I think the fact that Dylan has covered and performed Lightfoot songs, complimented his work on many occasions and showed up for the Hall of Fame induction speaks volumes. I may be wrong, but Dylan has probably recorded/performed more GL songs than GL has covered Dylan. Now who's got more ego? (don't get me wrong--I'm a big fan of both--more GL)
The induction I thought was actually funny as opposed to disrespectful. It was probably more of a commentary on how stupid awards and award shows are than anything. Awards don't make GL great. It is simply the music.
Dylan might not be your cup of tea. GL might not be your cup of tea (and all 'a that zen) They don't have to justify a personal relationship or a mutual admiration to anyone...we're all on the sidelines.
