Idolator

The great thing about Bob Dylan over the past decade is how lustily he's embraced being an old, old man, whether doomy (as on 1997's Time Out of Mind), jaunty (2001's "Love and Theft"), or a little of each (2006's Modern Times). So imagine our surprise when a tipster forwarded us a questionnaire from an organization calling itself the Intelligence Group/Youth Intelligence, the point of which, apparently, was to gauge the interest of youngsters in, you guessed it, Bob Dylan.

We have a bunch of questions for you regarding your thoughts on Bob Dylan. We will select 5 $50 Amazon.com gift certificate winners among responses received by 10 a.m. EST this Monday, July 16. Please also include your age and city with your response.

1.) Are you familiar with Bob Dylan? If yes, what do you know/think of him?

2.) Are you a fan of his music?

3.) Would you be interested in learning about the history of him as a musician and icon?

4.) Would you buy his new album?

5.) Do you think he currently has a cultural relevance? If so, what? If not, why?

Thanks so much! We look forward to hearing from you.

And we look forward to finding out what, precisely, this thing is meant to feed into. A higher placement from under-30 critics in Idolator's next critics poll? A demographic that appreciates his lyrical mentions of Alicia Keys? Eager recipients of "Dylan in the Schools" programs? A groundswell for the singer-songwriter's Snidely Whiplash mustache revival? An eager nation—or at least Jann Wenner—is waiting with bated breath.
