I need all kinds of songs - fast ones, slow ones, minor key, ballads, rumbas - and they all get juggled around during a live show. I've been trying for years to come up with songs that have the feeling of a Shakespearean drama, so I'm always starting with that.

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear his heart softly pounding Yes, and only if he was lying by me Would I lie in my bed once again.
Bob Dylan

There's danger in this open world where men strive to be free, and to me the greatest danger was in society.
Bob Dylan

Oh, God said to Abraham, Kill me a son Abe said, Man, you must be puttin' me on God said, No Abe say, What? God say, You can do what you want, Abe, but The next time you see me comin', you better run Well, Abe said, Where d'you want this killin' done? God said, Out on Highway 61.

Life has its ups and downs, and time has to be your partner. Really, time is your soul mate.

They said, congratulations you got what it takes. They sent him back to the rat race without any brakes.
Bob Dylan

The land created me. I'm wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I'm more at home in the vacant lots.
Bob Dylan
Image
But now we got weapons Of the chemical dust If fire them we're forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side
Bob Dylan
Image
An artist has got to be careful never really to arrive at a place where he thinks he's AT somewhere. You always have to realize that you're constantly in a state of becoming. And, as long as you can stay in that realm you'll sort of be alright.

Mama's in the factory, she ain't got no shoes. Daddy's in the alley, he's looking for food.

Ain't it hard when you discover that, he wasn't really where it's at, after he took from you everything he could steal. How does it feel?
