Dylan has always denied that his message was revolutionary, arguing that "My stuff -- (they) were songs, they weren't sermons," he tells 60 Minutes. "If you examine the songs I don't believe you're going to find anything in there that says that I'm a spokesman for anybody or anything really."

Others however disagree with him and have told Mr Damian that the former folk singer is their Messiah. These same followers are now urging Dylan to rise up and reclaim his crown from modern day impostors such as Eminem and Sting.

We tracked down one group of disciples who talk about their lives in terms of years BD (Before Dylan) and AD (After Dylan).

To these people Bob, or Mr Tambourine Man as they reverently call him, is their soothsayer to the dangers of modern day living.

“He said the times were a changing, and they did. He said there would be blood on the tracks and their was. Our message to others is How does it feel to be without a home like a complete unknown like a rolling stone? Join us, and you’ll never need to know.”

"I never wanted to be a prophet or a savior. Elvis maybe. I could see myself becoming him. But prophet? No. To be honest I only became a musician to get laid."

Didn’t we all.
