Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I don't really know if it was that monumental. I think that most people are mental and dont realize that and electric guitar and an acoustic guitars are really both guitars

It changed folk forever - and influenced rock by moving (some) folk into the rock genre. I'd say that's monumental.

I haven't done anything that has changed music that much. Not even close.

Folk music is still folk music though. They play the same songs

Now they have electrical instruments (some of them) and backing bands. That was unknown at the time. It also meant more folk entered what we'd call rock n roll. Hell, name one person you know who doesn't know who Bob Dylan is. Even your kids know who he is.

That's a huge change. There's a reason so many people cover Dylan songs. He was that influential. Also, anyone can cover a Dylan song and make it better than the original! (I kid... I kid...)

It's possibly a bigger singular change from one person than has ever been accomplished in music. It might be on par with how the Beatles changed rock fandom. They didn't change rock so much as they changed how fans interacted - a change that lasted a decade, and influenced the fandom even longer.
