I would like a link to that interview. Dylan has always been a chameleon and a thief. It's a part of his charm and talent and Joni Mitchell knows that. If I'm forced to compare the two Dylan is better. At his best Dylan can even approach Coltrane, he's so wild and free and beautiful and obviously poetic. But Joni Mitchell's music is much more unique. So in that sense she is more revolutionary. And believe me I'll take her worst material over Dylan's average stuff anyday. It's just as Dylan keeps releasing this 'Bootleg' series, it seems the depth of his genius never ends.
