Did Bob Dylan hate Tim Buckley aswell?

Answer 1

Yes: Springsteen cites him frequently as one of his influences, along with Elvis and James Brown. His influence is notable in the poetic lyrics of Springsteen first albums.

On another level, Dylan, himself an admirer of Woody Guthrie, led Springsteen to Guthrie's work. ("The Ghost of Tom Joad" was inspired by Guthrie's work and the movie "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Ford.)

Dylan himself has called Springsteen "his younger brother".

Yes he did he gave Bruce the choice to be as independent as he wanted to be.

Answer 2

Bob Dylan does like Bruce Springsteen. They even played Dylan's 'Forever Young' song together at some point. Bob Dylan and the Boss like each other well enough. In fact Bruce has said that Dylan was responsible for all the music that has come after him

Answer 3

I don't think so. Bob heard a lot about Tim Buckley. I'm sure that they met. Buckley was such a genius. Dylan said to Jeff Buckley that he was looking like his father. (during a gig)
