Quote

Anybody can be specific and obvious. That's always been the easy way. It's not that it's so difficult to be unspecific and less obvious it's just that there's nothing, absolutely nothing, to be specific and obvious about.

Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
Bob Dylan

Technology is mechanical and contrary to the emotions that inform a person's life. The country music field has especially been hit hard by this. All my songs have been written by people who went out of fashion years ago. Just like da Vinci and Renoir and van Gogh. Nobody paints like that anymore. But it can't be wrong to try.
Bob Dylan
Image
There's not even room enough to be anywhere/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.../I was born here and I'll die here against my will/I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still.

A brilliant 1989 album, Oh Mercy some career retrospectives and two albums of American folk songs, with just Bob Dylan and his guitar and harmonica. All that culminated in the Grammy-winning comeback album, Time Out of Mind (1997). Once again, just as Dylan seemed to be out of it, he was back at the top of his game.

I didn't come out of a cereal box.

Ah, current music. What would that be? Ah, really, a lot of it sounds defective to me. It makes me restless.

The highlight of my career? That's easy, Elvis recording one of my songs.

You use to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat, who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat.

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take to find dignity.
Bob Dylan

And it dawned on me that I might have to change my inner thought patterns... that I would have to start believing in possibilities that I wouldn't have allowed before, that I had been closing my creativity down to a very narrow, controllable scale... that things had become too familiar and I might have to disorientate myself. p.71

Some things are too terrible to be true.

In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed to some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams.

If you like someone's work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to. Anyone who wants to be a songwriter should listen to as much folk music as they can, study the form and structure of stuff that has been around for 100 years.

So, I don't know. I think so. It's all in the heart, whatever keeps you that way. Keeps you forever young. Forever young doesn't necessarily mean that you don't grow old, but you just have some contact with what put you where you are. You know, keep some type of contact. Anyway...
