I agree completely. Jim Morrison was original and a creative genius. Dylan on the other hand, was a front man for 'Operation Rolling Stone'. Dylan's meteoric rise in New York in 1961 simply isn't believable. He was playing in Greenwich Village for only about six months, had no original material, hadn't written any of his great early songs yet, and somehow the New York Times does a review of him? Hmmmm...
Ah yes Robert Zimmerman (aka Bob Dylan) was quite the incredible story. Have ever read Miles Mathis expose on Bob Dylan(http://mileswmathis.com/dylanDOTpdf). Make sure you change the "DOT" for the link I provided. Do you remember Joni Mitchell's strange public disparagement of Dylan. There's more of interest to the story.
Yeah, I think he was a far better poet than Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan...at least, I should say I like his stuff way better.
