Jamie, no, I wasn't referring to you as a literary snob but other poets I’ve come across.

My longer, effortful answer seems to have caused you more confusion, David, so Robin's and Robert's helpfully short answers will have to do.
   If you were thinking of me as a 'literary snob' in your response to David Latane you have very much misunderstood my argument. 
   Having written some songs that were put to music, and which I consider rather poor efforts, though the composer and singer were excellent, I have a great deal of respect for good song writers - of which Dylan is decidedly one.
   There isn't a 'clear distinction' but that doesn't mean there isn't any distinction.
