The difference between the two men was immediately obvious. Donovan was a talented pop star. Dylan was a musical genius. Donovan deservedly wowed crowds. Dylan rocked the world at it's emotional core with his own undeniable tales of hardship, struggle and endurance. Dylan's music was, and is, something people associated very much with the American spirit. A tale of an unending war being fought against poverty, greed, hypocrisy and maliciousness.
Donovan's music seemed like a dull narcotic in comparison. Nonetheless, Donovan recorded hit songs that are still in circulation on the radio today including Season Of The Witch and Mellow Yellow.
