I’ve been asking this same question all my life. IMHO, he’s the most overrated artist in music and just about the most overrated person in anything ever.
I’ve asked “why?” of many that I know to be his huge fans and the most common answer is that his lyrics/poetry have very strong meaning to them and they consider him to be an icon of a movement or a period of time that they strongly identify with. Either you “get him” or you don’t. I don’t, not at all.
