Dylan should teach writing: perhaps a set of videos

I feel Mr. Dylan should put out a series of videos or lectures on how to write. I feel that a lot of aspiring writers and song writers would be thrilled to study with him. Plus a "how to" writing series would be a great legacy.
Judging by the amount of " music professionals" who revere him : this would be a great too for students, or aspiring artists or just people who love music.
And if it gets done : I would love to see a lot of clothing changes because his style is part of his mystique.
I sent a letter through his "my space" to his people to this effect.
His legacy is huge but I feel there is a market niche for this.
Pulitzer Prize
Every day I have been more and more proud of Bob's award...and the fact that someone (besides all of Bob's fans) recognizes his talents and contributions to the country and the world.
Maybe someone finally reviewed again the Civil Rights March on Washington film from the Summer of 1963 and saw the potential that was starting to build as a small dust devil which would eventually become a huge tornado of creativity and un-ending contribution to the mind-set of our country and world.
Thank whatever deity there may be for the gift of creativity planted in this man and nurtured and grown by Bob.
He is an icon and an inspiration to us all.
CONGRATULATIONS!
A well deserved honor young man!
Thanks for pouring out your thought dreams and
points of view for all these changing times!
You are loved :)
By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung,
Our words were told, our songs were sung,
Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied
Talkin' and a-jokin' about the world outside.
