Well the name - OK. But voice? I guess a few of them over the years might have been fake but anyone care to guess which is the "real" Dylan voice?
All of them. Like Emerson, like all of us, like Joni herself, he contains multitudes. A singing voice is just a style. Does Joni today dress in the same style as she did in the 60's? Of course not. So was she a fake then or now? Dumb question.
actually your allusion should have been to whitman and not emerson for the lines are from leaves of grass:
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
— Walt Whitman
i agree you could say emerson does contain multitudes (as do all of us, as you say) but your remark as it stands is very misleading as to source
