> With his putting himself into the mix with his "I'm..." it also becomes a bit like a boasting rap.  Is rap poetry?  I think words meant to be mixed with music can't be judged sans music.

Most Def, rap be poetry.   Dylan is a spoken word artist, and I'm not
just talking bout "Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie." Gil Scott Heron
doing Subterranean Homesick Blues and Dylan can cover This Revolution
Will not be Televised, sure. Imagine Patti Smith and Tom Waits on the
same mic. In the FQ. Man, that'd be some shit.
