Quote

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

You know, the streets are filled with vipers Who've lost all ray of hope You know, it ain't even safe no more In the palace of the Pope

God, I'm glad I'm not me.
Bob Dylan
Image
I'd been going though his trash. He knocked me down. I was glad to see him, even though he was banging my head against the sidewalk. Afterwards these bums come over and say, 'Did he get much money?' I say, 'Money'? That was Bob Dylan.

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.
Bob Dylan
Image
I gotta friend who spends his life, stabbing my picture with a bowie knife. Dreams of strangling me with a scarf, when my name comes up he pretends to barf.
Bob Dylan

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
Image
I wanted to understand things and then be free of them. I needed to learn how to telescope things, ideas. Things were too big to see all at once, like all the books in the library-everything laying around on all the tables. You might be able to put it all into one paragraph or into one verse of a song if you could get it right.
Bob Dylan
Image
Once I went into songwriting, I figured I had to - I couldn't be a hellfire rock 'n' roller. But I could write hellfire lyrics.
Bob Dylan
Image
I've always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass, but sometimes you just find yourself over the line.
Bob Dylan
Image
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade, into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way.
Bob Dylan

Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Bob Dylan
Image
Stay free of petty jealousies, live by no man's code, and hold your judgment for yourself, lest you wind up on this road.
Bob Dylan
Image
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings. And I've never been too impressed.
Bob Dylan
Image
I don't know if I call myself a poet or not. I would like to, but I'm not really qualified to make that decision, because I come in on such a back door, that I don't know what a Robert Frost or a [John] Keats or a T.S. Eliot would really think of my stuff.

Morality has nothing in common with politics.
Bob Dylan

All that foreign oil controlling American soil.
Bob Dylan

The truth was obscure, Too profound and too pure, To live it you had to explode
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.
Bob Dylan
