songwriter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'e g bob dylan' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'back in bognor regis town going wild' is the wordplay.
'back in' says to take the final letters (the 'back' of the word).
'going wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
The final letter of 'bognor' is 'r'.
'r'+'regis'+'town'='rregistown'
'rregistown' is an anagram of 'SONGWRITER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for songwriter that I've seen before include "Berlin, perhaps" , "Producer of music/lyrics" , "Composer" , "One who works with numbers" .)
