Well,

Dylan's lyrics are strange; I think all will agree on that.

Where did Dylan get the core of his writing? That he is a good musician
is well known - but the writing... you see.

I don't understand what you are saying at all.  If you are saying all
Dylan is doing is writing wierd lyrics that mean nothing you must
be crazy.  Dylan's writings come from many existant streams at
the time of his compositions.  They are pretty easily track back in
fact.  That he put his own unique spin on the language is true but
every original artist does that.

So no, I don't agree that Dylan's lyrics are strange. They are mind-boggling but not strange.
