The confessional singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s was in full swing, and Bob Dylan's emotional album [ Blood on the Tracks] resonated with the times. There would be other hits, but never the same alchemy of emotion and time.

Every writer at the New Yorker is smarter than me.

The songs are my lexicon. I believe the songs.

They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in, sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks.

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.

When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend, just remember that death is not the end.
Bob Dylan
Image
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.
Bob Dylan

Bob has never written a bad song. Bob Dylan is a genius.
Bob Dylan
Image
Suddenly I found you and the spirit in me sings, Don't have to look no further, You're the soul of many things.
Bob Dylan
Image
When the jelly faced women all sneeze, hear the one with the mustache say I can't find my knees.
Bob Dylan
Image
Seven shots ring out like the ocean's pounding roar, there's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm.
Bob Dylan

I'll remember you. When I've forgotten all the rest.You to me were true. You to me were the best.
Bob Dylan

So happy just to be alive, Underneath the sky of blue, On this new morning, new morning, On this new morning with you.
Bob Dylan
