Is there a story or some info about this?

My enormous striped cartoon hat is off to the creator of this remarkably funny, and quite simply remarkable, parody site: Dylan Hears a Who. I'm normally not a huge fan of parodies, but that's only because so many of them seem to go embarrassingly wide and end up missing their mark, but this is spectacular.
These "vintage" MP3s of "Dylan" performing Dr. Seuss songs are some of the most carefully detailed dupes I've ever heard. I'm overwhelmed by how much attention and effort has gone into the creation of this little joke site. Musically, its owner has managed to capture the sound of "Thin, Wild Mercury Era" Dylan almost perfectly, from the sprighty Paul Griffin piano, to the swirling Kooperesque organ, to the inevitable crescendoing finale that ends each tune.
More remarkable than that, though, is the fact that the guy singing sounds so much like Dylan in '66, with his druggy, intuitive phrasing, that his impression quite handily blows away every other lazy imposter I've ever heard. In addition to having the benefit of being a Dylan fan on his side, the timbre of this guy's voice is naturally like that of the bard's, which amounts to one hell of a clone. So check it out! If you aren't a huge fan of Dylan's and aren't familiar with his '66 output in particular, you'd likely mistake this stuff for the genuine article. It's that knowing.
