Mapping Bob Dylan’s mind

[Analogous]

For six decades, Bob Dylan has challenged listeners with songs that reward interpretation. Critics and fans have long pored over his words, treating them as literary texts worthy of a slow, devotional reading, line by line, image by image. In 2016, Dylan even won the Nobel Prize in Literature. As the Swedish Academy put it, the prize honoured him for ‘having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition’. But what more might we discover if, instead of a human scholar, we asked an artificial intelligence to sift through every word Dylan ever wrote? What patterns, connections or evolution in Dylan’s massive body of lyrics might reveal themselves to a machine’s analysis, and what could that tell us about the man and his music?

I've always been curious and wondered if AI could map his brain on hindsight and tell us why things played out so weirdly the way they did on the night on 28th January 1985 during the recording session of the iconic anthem 'We Are The World'. Maybe he was too much of a perfectionist and a recluse to boot?
