I'm looking for a woman who's head is mixed up like mine.

I think of rock 'n' roll as a combination of country blues and swing band music, not Chicago blues, and modern pop.

The government's not going to create jobs. It doesn't have to. People have to create jobs.
Bob Dylan

Well, the moral of the story, The moral of this song, Is simply that one should never be Where one does not belong. So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin', Help him with his load, And don't go mistaking Paradise For that home across the road.

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

Advertising signs: they con you into thinking you're the one That can do what's never been done That can win what's never been won Meantime life outside goes on all around you

If you try to be anyone but yourself, you will fail if you are not true to your own heart, you will fail. Then again, there's no success like failure
Bob Dylan

I like the fans, but I don't feel an obligation that I have to be an example to them, like say maybe a baseball player would, or a football player or maybe some other type of musicians. I don't feel I have to really set an example that somebody else has to live up to.

Freedom just around the corner for you, but with the truth so far off, what good will it do?

I can't stand to see myself on television.

Up north, you could find these radio stations with no name on the dials that played pre-rock 'n' roll things - country blues. We would hear Slim Harpo or Lightnin' Slim and gospel groups, the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Five Blind Boys of Alabama. I was so far north, I didn't even know where Alabama was.

Being on tour is like being in limbo. It's like going from nowhere to nowhere.
Bob Dylan

We're constantly being bombarded by insulting and humiliating music, which people are making for you the way they make those Wonder Bread products. Just as food can be bad for your system, music can be bad for your spiritual and emotional feelings. It might taste good or clever, but in the long run, it's not going to do anything for you.

As long as you give my friend Jonah Lehrer a free pizza, I'll write a song about your restaurant.
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.

They kill people here who stand up for their rights The system's just too damned corrupt It's always the same, the name of the game Is who do you know higher up

I'm a good friend of Jonah Lehrer's. You should go on a date with him.
