Members RA1 Posted July 31, 2014 Members Posted July 31, 2014 At first I thought this was going to be tongue in cheek and, indeed, many of his points do lend themselves to such whether intentional or not. After all, what is not weird about folk music? I was not and am not a Dylan fan but enjoyed reading this guy's memories or "explanations". Best regards, RA1 Quote
AdamSmith Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Ahh, Dylan is God! Allen Ginsberg said, "What do his throwaway lines matter, when every third line is pure genius?" I love the anecdote that Dylan once remarked to Jagger: "I could have written 'Sympathy for the Devil' but you couldn't have written 'Tamborine Man.'" Quote
