By Les Chappell | Sep. 4, 2006In the history of rock 'n' roll, no artist has reinvented himself with as much frequency and variety as Bob Dylan. Over the course of 30-some albums, Dylan has worn the guise of idealist protest singer, amphetamine-jacked surrealist, born-again Christian and heartbroken acoustic master, and thrown out so many classic songs his failures simply fade away.
