Dylan is known for being short on charm - as scores of abruptly discarded lovers and musicians will tell you. Ruth Tyrangiel, his common-law wife for 17 years, said that in all their time together his only gifts to her were a tangerine and a rose.
Despite the lack of charm, his fans are loyal as ever - his new album Together Through Life has reached No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic, the first time he has topped the charts here in more than two decades.
But Dylan remains as dynamic as ever. Despite approaching 70, he is on the road as ever in a never-ending tour which started almost exactly 21 years ago and - quite amazingly - shows no signs stopping.
This weekend, after spending spring in the UK and Europe, he will be on his way home to his beach house in Malibu, California, for a break. Then he will embark on a tour of America with country performer Willie Nelson.
