Quote

Well, I try my best to be just like I am, But everybody wants you to be just like them, They sing while you slave and I just get bored

Everything in New Orleans is a good idea.
Bob Dylan
Image
The inmates and prisoners, I found they were my kind, and it was there inside the bars I found my peace of mind.
Bob Dylan
Image
Whenever anybody does something in a big way, it's always rejected at home and accepted someplace else.
Bob Dylan
Image
The ghosts race towards the light, you can almost hear the heavy breathing spirits, all determined to get somewhere. New Orleans, unlike a lot of places you go back to and that don't have the magic anymore, still has got it. Night can swallow you up, yet none of it touches you. You can't see it, but you know it's here. Somebody's always sinking.
Bob Dylan

There used to be a time when the idea of heroes was important. People grew up sharing those myths and legends and ideals. Now they grow up sharing McDonalds and Disneyland.
Bob Dylan

You'll never be greater than yourself.
Bob Dylan
Image
Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time. I think Abraham Lincoln said that. 'I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,' I said that.

Bob has never written a bad song. Bob Dylan is a genius.
Bob Dylan
Image
Most songs have bridges in them, to distract listeners from the main verses of a song so they don't get bored. My songs don't have a lot of bridges because lyric poetry never had them.
Bob Dylan

I dug it, New York City, all-the streets and the snows and the starving and the five-flight walkups and sleeping in rooms with ten people. I dug the trains and the shadows, the way I dug ore mines and coal mines. I just jumped right to the bottom of New York.

Every day your memory grows dimmer - it doesn't haunt me like it did before.
Bob Dylan

People are crazy and times are strange ... I used to care but things have changed
Bob Dylan

I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings. And I've never been too impressed.
Bob Dylan

Can you please crawl out your window? Use your arms and your legs, it won't ruin you
Bob Dylan

Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb/I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from/Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Bob Dylan
Image
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

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Keep a good head and always carry a light bulb.

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.
