Happy 60th birthday, Bob Dylan.

You’ve given a lot of people heaps of pleasure over the years. Perhaps not least this is due to your mastery of that wordsmith's craft: knowing which words to omit.

Anyone got a favourite phrase that sticks in the mind?

It's too long to quote here, but I was stunned and delighted the first time I heard Man of Peace from Infidels
