Quote

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'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.
Bob Dylan

Some are masters of illusions, some are ministers of trade, all under the same delusion, all their beds unmade.

I can't see myself singing the same song twice in a row. That's terrible.

People do whatever they want to do, y'know.
