	Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk, and Robert Johnson
		Dave thought Johnson was okay, that the guy was powerful but that it was all derivative.” Dylan doesn’t argue, but devotes the next few weeks to immersing himself in Johnson’s music, and learning from his songwriting style.
		To Dave, as to most blues and jazz listeners, Johnson was a not particularly distinctive latecomer, still playing the old acoustic style at a time when the blues world had moved on to Jimmy Rushing with Count Basie, followed by people like Dinah Washington and Ray Charles.
		Dave admired Johnson’s records for what they were, but he had nothing to learn from them, so they didn’t interest him much.
