Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day on Dylan :
The thing that Dylan gave rock & roll was a voice and an opinion that really wasn't there before. He was the first truly angry young man - he was angry before I was angry, before Johnny Rotten was angry, before Pete Townshend was angry. He really was the guy. There are a lot of people who would like to be Bob Dylan, but of course they can't be - the job's taken. Sixty years old? Jesus Christ. Happy birthday, Bob Dylan.
