Some of you probably know that last week was the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan's arrival in New York. The Village Voice have been celebrating the event over the last few days and asked Todd Snider to write a piece about Dylan's stature as an artist and his reputation among songwriters. It's a wonderful piece and contains several nuggets about Snider's friends' encounters with the Wiggle Wiggle hitmaker.

Snider has never met Dylan and muses on what he would say to him if he ever had the opportunity. I'm not sure I'd know where to start if it happened to me. Would you? Have you?!

Anyway, here's the piece. Enjoy!
