Mitch Benn explores his comedy connections to the story of Bob Dylan.

Mitch Benn explores how Bob Dylan changed everything – from songwriting to being a rock star to singing. From 2015.

Everybody knows that Elvis changed everything. Everybody knows that the Beatles changed everything. 

Not as many people realise that Bob Dylan actually DID change everything.

Mitch Benn looks at how Bob changed what it is to be a songwriter, changed what it is to be a rock star and, more than anyone, changed what it is to be a singer.
