Agreement with William.
Dylan wrote songs that the masses could connect with, and he wrote real lyrics capable of stirring something within the listeners. It wasn't flowery, wordy bull**** - it was legitimate, and he wanted people to listen and relate.
As such, if it's mundane, it's only so because of the multitude of songwriters who have used the same approach. However, Dylan may have not used the most original approach of all time, but it was real to him. And that's all that matters.
