Information Measurement Theory has been applied by multitudes of visionary people over the years. One masterful musician and poet who has repeatedly incorporated IMT concepts into his art is the one and only Bob Dylan. I would like to focus on one of Mr. Dylan’s songs in particular, “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright”. The…
